Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to folding furniture, and more specifically, to folding chairs with the ability to support their own weight and stand while in a folded position. In an embodiment, a folding chair configurable in an unfolded position and a folded position comprises a first leg assembly, a second leg assembly, a seat, and a chair back fixed between the first and second leg assemblies. The first and second leg assemblies each comprise an outer leg pivotally coupled with an inner leg, such that in the folded or unfolded positions, the first and second leg assemblies support the folding chair. The seat comprises a support bar and is pivotally coupled with each inner leg of the first and second leg assemblies, such that in the unfolded position, the seat provides support for a person when the support bar contacts a portion of the first outer leg and a portion of the second outer leg preventing overextension of the seat. In the folded position, the seat lies perpendicularly with the ground and provides a counterweight to allow the folding chair to stand on the first leg assembly and second leg assembly.
