What type of a camping chair is this
As its name suggests, this is a folding chair and one of those that when folded remain quite large in two dimensions, but relatively thin, so you can store it in narrow spaces. The packed size is 20.5 x 18 x 7 inches (52 x 46 x 18 cm).
It comes with solid and padded armrests, so it is easy to get in and out. The chair is with padding on the seat and on the upper backrest.
Who is it for
Capacity-wise, the chair supports up to 225 lb (102 kg), so this is not bad but it is not among the strongest chairs on the market. If you need something stronger, check my list with chairs for heavy people.
Size-wise, the dimensions are good (see below in the specifications), the seat is 18.5 inches (47 cm) above the ground, and in view of its solid armrests, it is suitable for anybody.
Weight-wise, it is a bit heavy with its 11 lb (5 kg), but this is quite a normal weight for such a type, you will realize this from the comparison table below. This is a chair for places with motorized access, you have seen its packed size already.
They describe it as a chair for camping, car traveling, fishing, tailgating, and any other similar activity.
Materials & construction
The frame is steel and the fabric is 600D Oxford cloth/striated heather in its bigger part, and you have a breathable and moisture-wicking nylon mesh on the backrest.
The setup is quick and you have the chair ready in a couple of seconds, and equally fast you fold it away, this is shown in the pictures below and you will see more in the video.
The legs design is such that it can be used indoor and outdoor, this is a floor-friendly design with plastic caps. As you see from the pictures, the legs are bars, so they will not sink even if you use the chair on the sand, and they will not damage the floor if you use it in a large floored family camping tent.
The backrest is around 16 inches (41 cm) from the seat to the top, so the chair is not designed to offer a headrest. If this is what you need, please this list of chairs with headrest.
Bonuses
You have a cup holder, and a storage pouch on the side, you will see them in the video below.
My rating, pros & cons
I have seen people asking about the carry bag, so you do not have it here. In fact, such chairs with solid armrests usually do not come with a stuff bag. But you have two straps to carry it short distances.
As a new item on the market, it has received a limited number of customers’ reports, but the average rating is perfect 5.0/5.
My rating is quite different, but I use several criteria and apply them consistently to all chairs presented here in the site, so you can easily make a comparison instead of focusing on the rating absolute value. Have a look:

Final thoughts
In the summary of this Zenree Folding Camping Director’s Chair review, I would stress again that this chair is well-built, with a pleasant padding combined with mesh where it is needed for ventilation, and with a fair price tag. The packed size is much better than in the other chairs of this type with solid armrests. This is a quality product.
