Friend of mine worked at a furniture store. One day a furious guy walks in demands a refund due to poor quality.
Turns out the poor fella, who was a bit on the heavy side had sat down naked on the plastic chair whereupon a the seat split in two. Courtesy of gravity, his ballsack falls down the crack that has been formed.
As anyone would have done noticing that the chair is collapsing, he got on his feet. The chair, relieved of the excessive weight immediately reversed to its original shape trapping the poor man’s balls on one side of the seat, and the rest of the body on the other. Fire brigade ambulance are called in and laughter ensues.
Luckily for the man with now very swollen balls, this occurred before the time of the smart phones.

If you want it, then you’ll have to take it.

So powerful that it can even withstand approaching storms

Whether they’re left out in the sun or not makes the difference.
That shit will collapse on you and THEN stab you in your liver

My somewhat large cousin sat on one of those when a group of us was at an airBnb. It absolutely exploded with one of the legs completely missing. The whole week he would randomly bend over, spread his butt cheeks and ask…anyone see anything in there?
(We did eventually find the missing leg under a shrub at the opposite end of the property).

The strength is in the structure, like those weird curves in the legs, not the plastic.

I always have to lean back onto two legs in my chairs. It’s in my nature. But it’s like Russian roulette with these plastic chairs. Some are plenty strong. Some fold quickly. Always a bit of a gamble.

We had three on the lanai when we bought our current home. I broke all of them. Not a huge guy – about 185 and I didn’t plop down on them either. The last one I was talking on my phone and then looking up at the pool cage on my back. They were NOT replaced with the same crap!

Shit designed to bend instead of break is really effing cool

funny story. my brother was tasked with taking some stuff from the kitchen to the bin, but my mother also pointed at a chair like this which was in the kitchen and said take that outside. He takes a while, so I go to investigate, he’s left the rubbish outside and he’s trying to chop up the chair to put it in the bin.

Vergil’s favorite chair.
Edit- “I am the storm that is approaching.”
We had a bench style one for 40 years. Until it finally broke.

Second at best. The first is 3310 for sure.
Flexible but not breakable. A good goal for life.
