Hello Everyone. My director's chair (after 15 years of long hard shows), has finally ripped beyond repair. I would like to purchase one of those wonderful 'Totally Bamboo' or 'Hollywood' chairs-with the fold out, or larger footrest. But, I don't want to pay the $290 + $60 (for the footrest), if I don't have to. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

Did you find a chair? If you have the frame take the old fabric ( if it can be removed) to and upholstery place and they will make a new seat and back for you out of canvas way cheaper than buying a new one.
I concur with Michelle. I bucked up and bought a Hollywood chair with all the attachments. I LOVE it. It has a fold up footrest, a swivel table thingee, a cup holder, a bag under the seat in which I hide my money and snacks...it's the bomb. Yes, it was more expensive than any of the chairs in my home. And worth every penny.
I have good solid one. It is black painted wood. The canvas is maroon. It has the footrest. I would let you have it for $ 150.00. You can find cheaper ones on line, also.

The Hollywood chair is worth the money. Just spent last weekend using one and loved it. It's a little tall for short people but extremely comfy! Get the underseat bag and the cup holder in the armrest for added pleasure.
Bonnie-Did you order from 'Totally Bamboo', Amazon, or the crafter that sells them, or 'The Hollywood Chair' company itself? I'm thinking that I also want the side tray. I usually drink those walmart flavored water bottles, so, the cup holder might not fit? Thanks for confirming that I just need to spend the money.....and, with all the shows we do.....I would like some pampering ;-)

Totally Bamboo is the company, but they have several distributors that sell at a lesser price. Interestingly TB has come down a bit in price from when I bought it but they are still being undercut by their distributors.
I have the elm version and not the bamboo. It is excellent! No regrets and you save an extra $100 not going with bamboo.
BTW, you'll save more if you go through StudentMarket.com. http://tinyurl.com/6f6hvr They charge less and give you free shipping.
This is the same chair as sold on the Totallybamboo.com site
http://tinyurl.com/6x95c6 in addition to a higher price you also have to pay for shipping
Granted, it is still a pricey chair, but very, very well built and designed.
I too am a beadweaver and demo at shows. I have a chair very similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Warranty-OASIS-HEAVY-DUTY-Chair-HIGH-PRODUCT-... I've had it for 3 or 4 years and really like it. It's super light weight and I find it comfortable. It also works well with my higher display setup. The rung/footrest pegs work well for me (I'm about 5'9"). I need to look into getting new rubber caps for the base and they've broken through.
Some photographer friends of mine have the same chairs Megan. The foot rest is desgined different on yours and looks like it works better then the chair I have. They prefer my chair, and I prefer their foot rest.
I decided to get a step n stool, which is a tool box that is also a step stool. It will fit under my chair and I can store my paints in it. Something extra to try and fit in the minivan. They come in all colors, but I got one in black. I saw one at Lowes but ordered it on amazon so I could get the color I wanted.
I know the Hollywood chairs are expensive, but after a few years with a director's chair I was never comfortable with, I finally broke down and ordered a Hollywood chair. Best purchase I've made all year. I wish I could get one for my husband, but he gets the old chair. He's just glad I can actually relieve my pain in that chair, which I couldn't in the old one. I did a lot of research on chairs before purchasing this one and have no regrets.
