The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the present disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

Lightweight, foldable stools, desks tables and chairs are used in camping, sporting events and other outdoor uses because they can easily be carried, stored compactly and are quick and easy to setup. Folding chairs have long been popular for their convenience and portability, finding applications in various settings such as outdoor events, picnics, camping, and large indoor gatherings. Traditional folding chairs typically consist of a collapsible frame with a sling seat suspended between it, providing a lightweight and compact seating solution. However, despite their widespread use, traditional folding chairs often face limitations in terms of mobility and stability, especially when used in outdoor environments.

One common issue with traditional outdoor chairs and other furniture is their lack of mobility. While some furniture may be designed to be easily folded and transported, moving them from one location to another can be cumbersome, particularly in crowded or uneven terrains. Users often struggle with lifting and carrying the chairs over long distances, resulting in inconvenience and physical strain. What is needed is a system for transporting a chair or furniture or multiple connected chairs and other outdoor or indoor furniture having wheels that is foldable or collapsible.

Moreover, stability is a significant concern, especially when using folding chairs in outdoor settings exposed to windy conditions. Their lightweight construction makes them susceptible to tipping over or being blown away by strong gusts of wind, posing safety risks to users and potentially causing damage to property. Recognizing these challenges, there has been a continuous effort to innovate and improve the design of folding chairs to enhance their functionality and user experience. One area of focus has been the integration of features aimed at addressing mobility and stability issues.

What is needed is a system for a chair or furniture or multiple connected chairs and other outdoor or indoor furniture having wheels that is foldable or collapsible.
