Rugged, well built, comfortable chair.
This is an awesome, well built, comfortable chair. Assembled with screws instead of the typical cheap rivets (that WILL pull loose). A nice quality build. I read Amazon customer reviews before purchase (as always) that expressed discomfort in the back of their legs at the front of the chair. I experienced the same thing. I knew before ordering the seat height was 18 inches front and back, which is what I wanted. I took some measurements and discovered that when seated, my butt was only 12 inches off the ground. No wonder the discomfort! I fixed that problem after brain storming a while. I installed a 2 inch thick wooden block on top of the rear seat supports. I cut the blocks to the same outer dimensions as the original parts, drilled a 3/4 inch hole for the frame to pass thru, and attached with one screw per piece. Not real pretty, but functional. Now I can easily get up from my chair in spite of arthritic knees, and no undue pressure on the back of my legs. The only other downside with this King Kong chair is the odor. Smells like new carpet. Just left it out on the porch for a few days and it outgassed to an odorless state. I would recommend this chair to anyone who is looking for a rugged and comfortable alternative to the average camp chair. I feel sure this chair will last many years. Long live King Kong.
