Key features & benefits

What type of chair is this

This is a folding chair, one of those that remain relatively large in two dimensions when packed. The packed size is 32.6 x 18.5 x 6 inches (83 x 47 x 15 cm) and the picture below shows how it looks form two sides; as you realize it is rather thin and flat when folded so it will fit into narrow spaces.

The chair comes ready to use, no assembly is needed. There are no locking mechanisms, so to fold it completely, just fold the side table and then pull the seat up. Note that you have solid and padded armrests.

Who is it for

Capacity-wise, the chair is rather moderate and it supports the weight of up to 350 lb (159 kg). But you will see from the comparison table below that this is similar to other chairs of this type.

Size-wise, the seat is around (W x D) 20 x 19.5 inches (51 x 50 cm) so this is a good size. The seat height is 18 inches (46 cm) which is a bit low for tall people, but this is typical. The solid armrests help when you get up or when you want to sit.

Weight-wise, this is a surprisingly lightweight chair, it weighs only 6.13 lb (2.78 kg) and I find this really extraordinary.

The construction & materials

As you might expect from such a weight, this is an aluminum structure and the fabric is 600D polyester.

The legs’ system is very similar to the Kamp-Rite Director’s Chair and the Timber Ridge Director’s Chair. On a hard surface, you have the stability just like any other 4-leg chair and you have some protective cups. But on a sand and on a soft grass, such legs will partly sink until the bars come in contact with the ground. At this moment the chair becomes very stable and the sunk feet just anchor it even more and make stable while the bars prevent further sinking.

The width of the chair with the open side table is around 35 inches (89 cm), just to know if you plan to use it in narrow spaces. But you can also use this chair with the side table folded, this you might do when you use it at a camping table like any other ordinary chair.

People have been asking about the back design, so it is 15 inches (38 cm) from the seat to the top, not particularly high but quite similar to other chairs of this type. This is a full-back type, the fabric continues to the seat area. It is also straight but because this is a fabric, it gives some flex but this is not the type which would allow you to lean back a lot.

A frequent question is if the fabric can be removed, so the answer is no, it is fixed.

To carry the chair around, there are two carry handles on the sides, they are under the seat when the chair is open. You do not have a carry bag or a shoulder strap.

The side table & storage elements

This is a retractable design, and the table is built from aluminum. The dimensions are roughly (L x W) 15.5 x 10.5 inches (40 x 27 cm), see the picture. I have seen people asking if it can be moved to the other side, and the answer is no, it is riveted.

On the opposite side, you have a storage system with several accessory pockets, see the picture below, and this is an obvious bonus here.

My rating, pros & cons

They did not give enough information about this chair and it is surprising in view of its popularity, and some numbers they provide are also contradictory.

The current price on Amazon is in the link below so you can see this is a very affordable chair.

There are hundreds of reports by customers and this tells you about the popularity of the chair. Though it has been around for years already. The average rating is very high. See how I rate it:
