Key features & benefits

What this is about

So here you have a folding chair, one of those that close like a book, and when packed it is quite large in two dimensions but very thin. This is useful because it can fit in narrow spaces. The picture below shows how it looks when folded. From this state, you can have it ready in seconds, just spread and press the seat down.

The chair has a side table shown below, and from the picture above you realize that it folds together with the chair. The packed size of the chair is 38 x 22 x 5 inches (97 x 56 x  13 cm).

Observe the solid armrests with some padding to avoid touching cold metal. Below you can see how stable the frame looks, and such a type of folding chair is always with two long bars on the ground. With this, you can use it on any surface and it will not easily sink no matter where you use it. They have added some plastic feet for the floor protection.

Materials

The frame which you see above is a powder-coated steel tubing. The X-shaped support bars on the front and on the back stabilize the chair so it is not surprising that it is stronger than many chairs on the market.

The fabric is to much such a frame, so you have a rugged polyester. There is a bit of padding on the seat and the backrest.

Who is it for

Capacity-wise, you have a chair that supports up to 600 lb (272 kg), so this is huge and I have added it to my list of camping chairs for heavy people.

Size-wise, with the overall dimensions (W x D x H) 42 x 20 x 36 inches (107 x 51 x 91 cm), and with the seat that measures (W x D) 25 x 16 inches (64 x 41 cm) this chair is almost for everybody. I have included it in my list of camping chairs with a wide seat.

Note that the seat height is 17 inches (43 cm) so it is not very high. But the solid armrests will help to get in and out of this chair.

Weight-wise, it is heavy with its 16.5 lb (7.5 kg), but this is normal in view of its size and capacity. You have seen already that it is bulky when folded so all in all this is a camping chair for places with a car access.

The lags are such that you can use it even in floored family camping tents. The backrest is not particularly high, just to know that you do not have a headrest here.
