We purchased three of these chairs one year ago. This is only second time using them. The first time was at a cookout this time was at the beach. BOTH times were an absolute nightmare to fold up. I am so upset with myself for purchasing these chairs. Do not waste your money. It is a true struggle. We even tried pulling up the center of the seat and nothing. Multiple family members tried.

If all else fails, read the instructions. I own several of these chairs, probably a dozen fir tailgating. Simply pick upwards on the front cloth of the seat and the chair folds itself closed........Dont listen to these reviews from filks who dont read the instructions. They are strudy. Very comfortable and built to last.

I bought two more of these chairs because I have four older ones of this style that I really like. Unfortunately since I own the older version I immediately saw the differences when I opened these new ones. The first thing I noticed was the bottom of the feet are now smooth plastic with no tread. It opens easier than my old ones but that’s not a good thing, the whole chair seemed more wobbly as I opened it compared to the old ones, I think it opens easier as a side effect of being less sturdy. But the detail that bothers me the most is the closure. They took away the nice thick piece of plastic that latched the chair shut and replaced it with a thin, cheap plastic snap. We carry our chairs around a lot and when that little clip breaks it’s going to be so annoying to try and keep the chair shut while moving it. Idc about the carry case or the random little strap that was wrapped around the chair, those pieces will immediately get lost a chair that can’t stay closed on its own is annoying and boo on members mark for cutting corners on such an important feature. I would’ve rather paid a few dollars more to get the same quality chair. Instead I spent more than my old ones (that I only bought a year or two ago I’m not comparing these to super old chairs) and got inferior products. This is the type of sneaky stuff that makes me start shopping other places. I understand everything costs more these days, but can it at least be the same quality? I was under the impression I was buying a solid product I was familiar with, not an inferior knockoff sold under the same name

If you plan to take to the beach with sand. DO NOT BUY. They open fine, Price is great but the plastic guides are to tight and when sand gets in them near impossible to close. Have to flush and clean guides as they are to tight around leg rails Ex struggle

Very comfortable chairs

Have 2 of these. Had no problem till going to the beach for the 1st time. Had to leave my husbands chair behind at the garbage can because it would not fold back up. My husband is pretty strong but when ur standing on a hot beach trying and trying to fold up a chair it becomes a problem when it was just sat on prior to walking to the beach. Mine was even hard to close but luckily it closed. Very unhappy with these chairs.

This is a great chair and best price I've found for a chair that supports 325 lbs. Cup holder is huge. Straps secure chair when folded up and there is a carry strap on the chair so you don't need to put it in the bag to carry it. Over 18" tall from ground to seat, so easy to get in and out of. Two colors in my store. The Periwinkle color is very pretty. The back of the chair puts you slightly reclined when sitting in it. Nice quality.

Purchased this chair and loved sitting in it. Unfortunately I couldn't close it. Put it in the car opened and took it home. Spent a half hour trying to close it. Went on website to see if anyone eles was experiencing the same problem. I was surprised that their was quite a few that had the same problem. Taking it back today.

If I too had reviewed these chairs within the first month of buying them I would have given them a much higher rating. Unfortunately, after owning these chairs for 2 years and 3 months with very little use (approximately 20 times over that period) the plastic brackets just under the front corners of the seats were broken. The chairs say they are rated for 325lbs and I only weigh 215lbs so I thought they would be well built to handle my weight. Apparently not! I have the older version that has the sewn-on buckle closure on the back. I believe they should have been more durably built without the plastic pieces in such a vulnerable location. I have two chairs, one blue and one teal model HA2849. See photos from another reviewer; mine split in the same places.

If I had reviewed these chairs within the first month of buying them I would have given them a much higher rating. Unfortunately, after owning these chairs for about 2 years with somewhat regular use the plastic brackets just under the front corners of the seats are breaking. I have the version that's actually pictured in the 3D model and not the ones people seem to be getting recently that don't have the sewn-on buckle closure on the back. Maybe if you treat the chairs super delicately they might not break, but they're meant to be used for camping and such and should be built more durably.
