I was browsing the Royal website (http://www.royal-leisure.co.uk/) and came across this directors chair with an added side table. It's not a big addition and looks like it won't affect the size of the folded chair a great deal but what an excellent idea.

I think this is ideal for when you're sitting outside in the evening with a glass of vino or tankard of ale. No more bending down to find it in the grass, or knocking it over your lap after balancing it in one of those drinks holders built-in to the fabric arms of other camping chairs.

I guess you could also use it for more mundane things like your dinner, a book or a newspaper too.

All-in-all it looks like a simple and effective solution to a subtle problem you don't really appreciate until you've been there. Well done Royal.
