         2 . The glass holder of  claim 1 , wherein said first perimeter is different from said second perimeter. 
     
     
         3 . The glass holder of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one flexible connector further comprises a plurality of flexible connectors spaced around said first and second perimeters. 
     
     
         4 . The glass holder of  claim 3 , wherein said at least one flexible connector comprises a single piece of continuous material. 
     
     
         5 . The glass holder of  claim 1 , wherein said mounting member comprises a pivot mechanism. 
     
     
         6 . The glass holder of  claim 1 , further comprising a layer of cushioning material attached to the interior perimeter of said first cavity. 
     
     
         7 . The glass holder of  claim 6 , wherein said cushioning material comprises foam. 
     
     
         8 . A folding chair, comprising:
 a support frame further comprising a back frame and a seat frame;   at least one arm member pivotally attached to said support frame;   at least one leg member pivotally attached to said support frame; and   a glass holder attached to said folding chair.   
     
     
         9 . The folding chair of  claim 8 , wherein said glass holder is permanently attached to said folding chair. 
     
     
         10 . The folding chair of  claim 8 , wherein said glass holder is attached to said folding chair along one of said at least one leg members. 
     
     
         11 . The glass holder of  claim 8 , wherein said glass holder is attached to said folding chair along one of said at least one arm members. 
     
     
         12 . The glass holder of  claim 8 , wherein said glass holder is attached to said folding chair along said back frame. 
     
     
         13 . The glass holder of  claim 8 , wherein said glass holder is attached to said folding chair along said seat frame. 
     
     
         14 . The folding chair of  claim 8 , wherein said glass holder comprises:
 a first support having a first perimeter defining a first cavity therein;   a second support located in a spaced relation underneath said first support, said second support having a second perimeter defining a second cavity therein which is smaller in diameter than said first cavity;   said first and second supports connected by at least one flexible connector;   wherein said first support further comprises a first aperture in said first perimeter and said second support further comprises a second aperture in said second perimeter, said first aperture and said second aperture being aligned; and   a mounting member for connecting said first support to said folding chair.   
     
     
         15 . A folding chair, comprising:
 a support frame further comprising a back frame and a seat frame;   at least one arm member pivotally attached to said support frame;   at least one leg member pivotally attached to said support frame; and   said at least one arm member comprising flexible fabric and further comprising a glass holder permanently formed within said arm member, said glass holder comprising a first support having a first perimeter defining a first cavity therein; a second support located in a spaced relation underneath said first support, said second support having a second perimeter defining a second cavity therein which is smaller in diameter than said first cavity; said first and second supports connected by at least one flexible connector; wherein said first support further comprises a first aperture in said first perimeter and said second support further comprises a second aperture in said second perimeter, said first aperture and said second aperture being aligned.
