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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this a month ago and i am dissatified with this chair. Recommending to stay away. When it was time to pack up, this partical fllding chair wouldn't fold at all. I even watched a youtube videos to see if there was some special technique but apparantly you need a hammer to take it apart! Since i didnt have one with me i ended up leaving the chairs at the beach

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.

These are really comfy and sturdy.

Very comfortable and supports your lower back compared to other less expensive fold up chairs

Very nice, sturdy, comfortable chair
