Canopied folding chair assembly

A canopied folding chair assembly comprising:

• a base positionable on a ground surface and including a plurality of supports being pivotally coupled to each other, the base being positionable in a deployed position with the supports being angled outwardly with respect to each other and in a stored position with the supports being collapsed against each other;
• a pod mounted to the base, the pod comprising:
• a plurality of ribs each having a first end and a second end, the first ends being pivotally coupled to each other and the second ends being pivotally coupled to each other such that the ribs are positionable in an arrayed position wherein the ribs are spaced from each other and in a stowed position wherein the ribs are nested and the plurality of ribs is nestable with the plurality of supports in the stored position;
• and
• a panel being attached to the plurality ribs, the panel comprising flexible material and forming a shell when the ribs are in the arrayed position, the shell having an open front side to access the shell, the panel defining a top wall, a rear wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of lateral walls of the shell, wherein respective ribs are pivotable to move the top wall toward the rear wall such that the shell has an open top side;
• and
• wherein the plurality of supports comprises:
• a front member having opposite ends, the front member having a flattened C-shape;
• and
• a rear member having opposed ends, the rear member having a flattened C-shape, each of the opposed ends being pivotally attached to a respective opposite end of the front member such that the base is selectively deployable by pivoting of the rear member relative to the front member.
