Nothing could be simpler–or more comfortable–than a folding wooden deck chair. They know this in the South of France. They know this on the beach at Brighton. And we know this at my house, where we keep a pair of striped canvas chairs stashed away in the shed in anticipation of sunny July afternoons just like today. Here are ten of our favorite folding canvas deck chairs. See you on the sand:
