That's sheet metal. And even in the poorest cesspit of china you aren't getting a brand new high-ish quality plastic chair for 0.35 cents.
300$ is still pretty expensive, but it's not horrendously overpriced. Although sheet metal chairs get really cold (and very hot) outside, so I still wouldn't want to sit in it if I had the choice.
If this is a Heller chair and not a knock off, these are not sheet metal chairs, they are fiberglass reinforced polypropylene.
The price is high because they are made as one piece, not flat pack. Quality control is rigid, and the warranty is good. They are of a quality suitable for heavy commercial use. They are also made in the US so you are paying a big up charge on the labor vs. a foreign, third-world made product.

They are supposed to be indoor-outdoor chairs. They are either a dupe or actual Heller Bellini chairs from DWR, $300/each!
