This chair is a little heavy and a bit firm to close. Just grab the fabric at the edge of the seat and back, pull up quickly and it closes fine. If you try to close it like a cheaper camp chair, you will have a lot of trouble. It's great for taller people. The sturdy armrests are a step up from all other camp chairs in this price range!

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 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.

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.

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 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

Easy to pack, sturdy, and most importantly, super comfortable.

Nice chair ,I am happy that it has a vented back .

Easy to set up, seems very sturdy, used it for extra company in the yard.
