What type of camping chair is this
This is a folding and collapsible type, one of those that remains large in one dimension only when packed. There is no assembly, you close it or set up in one move. It has an ergonomic and high back and it offers a very good support.
The chair is with very good solid and padded armrests. You have a cup holder on the side, its dimensions are roughly 3 inches across and 4 inches deep, and it can rotate to push it under the chair.
Note that the chair comes with a very useful stuff sack to carry short distances and to keep it clean when you store it at home.
Who is it for
Capacity-wise, the chair supports the weight of up to 300 lb (136 kg). This is good enough for most of the users. But if you need something with a much bigger capacity, please check this list where the chairs are ordered by the capacity.
Weight-wise, the chair is on the heavy side when you compare it with its competitors. It weighs 13 lb (5.9 kg) and this is partly due to its solid armrests.
Size-wise, the dimensions are good, the back is high, some 20 inches (51 cm) above the seat. But you do not have headrest here, if you need such a chair please check my list of chairs with headrests.
The seat is not particularly high, it is at 18.5 inches (47 cm) above the ground. This might be a bit low for very tall people, but with such armrests getting in and out of the chair is easy.
The packed size is what you might expect from such a type, 39 x 9.4 x 6.5 inches (99 x 24 x 17 cm), so you need a car for transportation.
Materials & construction
The frame is steel and the tubes are really thick and strong. The fabric is polyester with a breathable back material. Its feet are such that they will not sink easily regardless of where you use it. This is a floor-friendly design, see the picture, and you can use it even in a large floored family camping tent.
The carry bag is quite large and you can pack it easily, you realize this from the picture below:
The price & rating
The price on Amazon for this chair is given in the link, and this is quite a typical price for such a type.
