Folding chairs? They're way more than just something to sit on. They show how humans are good at making useful stuff that changes with the times. People have been using them for ages, and they're part of our history.

Where They Started
Folding chairs are one of the oldest kinds of furniture you could move easily. Way back in Ancient Egypt, they had them! Rich people like kings used wooden ones with fancy carvings. They showed how important someone was.
The Greeks and Romans used them too, especially soldiers and politicians on the move. Roman big shots had special folding chairs that showed they were in charge but could still pack up and go. These chairs paved the way for new ideas later on.
In the Middle Ages, you mostly saw folding chairs in churches. Important religious guys used folding chairs they could carry around. When things started to change in the Renaissance, more regular people started using them because they were easy to use.
Over time, folding chairs started popping up in homes, schools, etc. They got made with metal, which made them last longer. In the 1900s, they blew up! Factories could pump them out super fast and cheap. Now, folding chairs are comfy, strong, and easy to take anywhere.
