Nice size, but…

From the Backcountry side of things, a good purchase; online representative was awesome, shipping very quick. However, from a product quality standpoint, not so much. Bought these for a trip to Florida, and the first time I unfolded it, a bolt and rivetsheared off, rendering the chair un-useable. Given that it was brand new and purchased primarily for this vacation, I expected it to function correctly for at least the initial use….not to mention my wife tumbling backward into the sand when she first sat into it…. Ok, I may have laughed briefly in tgat moment, but then she looked at me like Jada looked at Will that night at the Oscars, so it wasn’t funny any more.

Great Chairs for the Park

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

We live in a city and got 2 of these for picnics in the park - they're wonderful! They have been great for supporting our backs and we no longer have to wash the blankets we were bringing into the park before. They are sturdy and compact, easy to carry with the bag/strap. A little heavier than expected, but worth it!

Great chair for day at the beach!

Love this chair. Very solid feeling construction and the low profile is much nicer to sit in than a bucket chair.

Great Chair

I bought this chair for the long days sitting in the deer woods. This chair is built like a tank and it sits you with a low profile to the ground. Very comfortable chair.

I bought 2 of these primarily for use at the beach or for spectating at soccer games. The chairs unfold easily and fold up by standing behind the chair and lifting the front corners up toward you. They fit easily into the included carry bag. Very comfortable to sit in with a few caveats: These chairs sit super low to the ground which may be difficult for some and the back only comes to the shoulders so this is not the type of chair that you are going to nap in at the beach. There also are no pockets / holders for keys or water bottles. But you get a sturdy chair with a nice mesh and fabric seating material, padded armrests, and everything seems to be very good quality considering the reasonable price!
