I haven’t purchased a camping chair in many years. I was pleasantly surprised by this chair’s construction and comfort, as well as the very reasonable price. The blue color is also easy to look at! I’m very pleased with my purchase, and I have already recommended the chair to neighbors.

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.

This chair looks and feel sturdy. It's also very spacious and comfortable to sit in. I like how easily it folds out and closes up. It was a bit heavier than I had expected but I guess its the trade-off of having something sturdy because it's made with good quality strong material. The drinks holder is a real plus. Also, shipping was fast.

Loved the original version of these chairs, and still have a couple. We bought 4 new ones because we loved the ones we already had so much. All 4 are trash...the plastic that holds the front of the seat broke in the same place on all 4 chairs within 6 months.

Lovely, sturdy chair. The hard arms make it awesome. So much easier for these old bones to get up after sitting awhile. A firm arm support is so much better. Higher than usual weight limit allows me to breathe easy when heavier friends and family need to sit. The upper clip to keep the chair closed and the added shoulder strap allow for quick carry and set up at the beach or elsewhere without having to keep up with the storage bag.

I actually like the chairs for how sturdy they are and with the built in carry strap. However, opening and closing the chairs can be very difficult and sometimes requires another person. The design makes it where them trying to close the back slides on the legs want to move in the opposite direction of where it needs to slide. So, you're perpetually fighting against them and the rage this fills you after a long day at the beach is immeasurable. Give these chairs as a gift to someone you despise.

I had a very specific sized space that this chair had to fit into and it DOES. Most camp chairs have those stupid arms that are angled outward, making the chair take up way more room than it actually provides. While this chair was not the top of the food chain in terms of price, it is, in my opinion, a better chair than the price implies. It's comfy, doesn't creak and it folds and unfolds smoothly. I especially like the mesh insert on the chair's back; much more comfortable on hot days than the chairs that have just the solid nylon back instead of the mesh.

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.

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.

I work as a park ranger in Florida and I’ve been having to pick up at least 3 of these off the beach each week to throw away because people can’t fold them back up and just leave them. Something about the way it folds makes it impossible once it’s gotten some sand in it.
