I love the idea of stand-by furniture that actually looks nice. The idea behind "break down" furniture came from the need to travel during political campaigns...all the comforts of home would be neatly folded up, packed, and unpacked at various locations. Portable furniture broke down fast and it was the easiest and best way to transport everything along the trail. Now that we have hotels, "fold-able" furniture usually makes its debut when we go to the beach or the lake, throw a Bar-B-Q...or when we host unusual amounts of holiday company (think cold aluminum chair with a cushion the thickness of a pancake). Now there is no excuse. Find the entire line of British Campaign Furniture here, and visit this site for other fold-able options.
