“Good Camping Chair”

“I was surprised when I saw the low ratings on this chair as we bought this chair in the brown/green/white & the matching lounge chair a month+ back for our camping trip. This smaller chair was for me & the lounger (he wanted arm rests) for my husband. Yes, it does weigh something as it is sturdy steel, but I being of average size, could easily pack it in the car, set it up, etc. My husband (over 200 lbs) also used this by the campfire & felt comfortable in it. What I like about this chair is it has more class/style/character to it than the usual camp chairs. Also, I read all the instructions and you need to ensure the chairs are properly set up (legs fully out, etc)or it may not work as well for comfort & so forth. I noticed as I was slipping on the cloth cover that it would be rather simple to sew a new cover if it ever needed to be replaced. The frame is sturdy, so I feel this was a very good investment for the long haul. The compact size was appreciated as we packed all our gear in a small car & every inch mattered it seemed. I could easily move the chair up closer to the fire & it is a good height for sitting. We placed a log on each chair at night to ensure they wouldn't fall into the fire pit or blow into the next campsite just in case high Sierra winds kicked up during the night or a bear came prowling around. So, if you are looking for something nice, compact & sturdy like I was, this is what worked. Really like these chairs!”
