Verskeie opgevoude panele kan opmekaar gestapel en saam gestoor word. Om die stoel oop te maak, word die onderste dwarsbalk afgetrek sodat die sitplek en die pote uitkom. Die sitplek word dan 90 grade opgevou, en die pote word 90 grade afgevou. Pad word van kiaathout gemaak, 'n houtsoort wat stabiel en slytvas is, en beskerm is teen verrotting en insekte.
