I designed a fast setup, no-tools-required, Santa Chair, based on the notched Christmas tree decoration of centuries ago. It can be carried in one hand and set up in about 2 minutes.
So simple, your assistant can quickly get it to the room and set it up while you greet guests.
So nice you can use it just like it is! If you don’t want to paint it, the chair can be set up and used immediately out of the box.
Shown is the new design, everything the same except now with deeper front making for easier assembly and larger area for more graphics. And of course, now using beautiful cabinet grade plywood!
(See this page for finishing suggestions)
Very comfortable 17″ seat height. Still room to gather the family
Check out this quick video to see how quick and easy it is to set up!
Watch this video which shows how quickly the use of a fabric cover can change the chair to be three in one!
Ready to travel
I designed a simple slide together chair that does not require box, rollers or wheels.
it is a one-hand carry, takes less than two minutes to set up and a bit longer to ready again for travel, and it fits in the back seat of my Toyota Camry.
No truck required.
Put it in the car at the start of the season and have it ready for any event.
Paint it to suit your personal taste.
These chairs are CNC machine cut for precise fit every time, made from cabinet quality 1/2″ plywood.
With a pint of stain or clear finish, or your favorite colors, you can have it complete and ready to use in as little as one weekend.
Available as shown here with all edges eased with slight radius, no paint.
$495 includes shipping from Kingman, Arizona if purchased from my Etsy shop or my eBay shop
And with a little imagination and some fabric, you can turn the chair into a true Santa throne!
Santa Bob received his chair, all bare wood mind you, Saturday morning. By late afternoon, it was painted, had cushion seat, fabric back and ready to go!
What do you think of his decorating?
Here is how Santa Tim and Mrs. Claus Linda fixed this one.
Here is what Santa Tim Lorang had to say:
Jerry’s Santa Chair is quick and easy to assemble and set up anywhere. It just takes a moment to take it apart and is very easy to carry around. With a little paint and imagination you can make a unique chair custom made for you. The chair also adds a lot to my special Santa offerings. No more squeaky fold out metal chairs for this Santa.
Santa Steve Fletcher has come up with a way to change the chair to fit any occasion in seconds. Instead of painting it, he made a two-sided fabric chair covers. The ones shown are for Santa, but it can just as easily be made to look Victorian, Renaissance Faire, Kings throne, or anything you can imagine.
To change the side seen, just turn the slip cover around and flip over the cushion.
All this and the chair can still be stacked and transported with one hand!

Santa Bob and Mrs Claus Beth did some very nice cushion and embroidery work to create matching chairs that can be set up as red or green to match any set.
Here is how Santa Russell Campbell describes his finishing touches:
‘The back piece is mounted with upholstery tacks and has about 1 inch of padding under the vinyl. The seat piece is a custom fit cushion. The flip side of the back is the same stain finish but with a medium gloss poly over top instead of low gloss. Next year I plan to make a cloth slip over cover that will fit over to give it a different look that can be used on the other side.’
Load test.
I have been asked what the capacity is and I figured out a way to show what it will hold.
Went to Home Depot and set up the chair, putting a piece of flexible plastic under the seat support to show deflection and sagging of the seat.
Then added 50# sacks of cement.
12 sacks equals 600 pounds. The flexible plastic is exactly the same curve to it with or without the 600# in the seat.
The deflection of the plastic is virtually nothing as compared to the chair with no load on it.
