Hobo Origami, Cardboard Folding Chair

I created this chair with a partner for a manufacturing class.
This video is actually of two different chairs, the alphatype and then the betatype. I designed the chair by folding letter sized paper. The paper proved to be much easier to fold than the cardboard. When we transferred the design from paper to cardboard my partner came through with a workable modification.
This chair was created with no glue, no tape, no fasteners, and contains only one cut. The chair folds and unfolds completely flat. The chair is made of one piece of cardboard.
I weight 190 lb or 86 Kg and I am 6'4" or 193 cm tall. The chair supported my weight with my feet off the ground.
The video was created by one of my class mates. Thanks!

I made the chairs in the video but not the video itself. The first chair was the prototype the last chair was the final. I'm not sure why my partner didn't put the folding up of the second chair in there. I am 200 lb and 6'4". It held my roommate and I but when our neighbor jumped on it was no more.

@bestamerica It only supports 120 pounds. If a sumo wrestler wer to sit on that, it would be no more than a mat.
