I saw them on the website for 17.84. Seem nice. When I got to the store they were $24.98. Why do I pay more for taking the time to drive to the store and load them up to take home? Irritating.

Very comfortable chairs

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

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.

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 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.

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

I’d like to say I am a loyal Sam’s Club member and I have been buying these Hard Arm Chairs for the last fifteen or twenty years. I was buying these Hard Arm Chairs when they were being made by a different company. I assumed these members mark chairs were just as reliable. I am very disappointed in the last six chairs because they open just like all the others but no matter how hard I tried, I could not get these chairs to close. The plastic slides on the front legs would not slide up the leg to fold the chair back to store. I plan to bring all six chairs back to Sam’s for full refund. Thank you for hearing me vent.

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.

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.
