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

After ordering a few different chairs from Walmart and returning them, we finally found the one. So the other chairs even though they said oversized, would dig into our not oversized legs. Extremely uncomfortable. Sadly, the ones we love are no longer being made. Those had a different design so the bar wouldn’t dig. We gave these Members Mark chairs a shot and they were the winner. These have a similar design so the bar doesn’t dig into your leg. I do wish the back was a little higher. You can’t use these chairs at the beach. But for local State parks these are just fine.

So Far this chair has been exactly what I've been looking for in regards to this particular style of chair. The arms are way more sturdier than the plastic ones that you might purchase at Walmart. I was looking for a more sturdier and durable chair that is good for moving. And so far this fits the bill. Hopefully it lasts for a long time; but only time will determine that.

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 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 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.

Bought some of these last year. 2 of them that we use on a somewhat regular basis (a few times a month during the summer) have both broken in the same places. We are nowhere near the weight limit and are not rough on our stuff. The 2 plastic brackets that connect the cross bracing with the front arm supports broke on both. Would not recommend or purchase again.

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.

This is the 4th chair of these i have brought. I really like the constructon and design of chair, but I have one problem. The fabric, material of the chair does not last. If I could reorder material to re-cover my first two, I would highly recommend.

Super comfortable and higher than your normal camping chair. Once you learn the trick of folding it up, it’s great. Even comes with a strap attached to the chair to carry it with so it doesn’t have to be in the bag to get the carrying strap like others.
