★☆☆☆☆
Broke after 6 uses. 2 for 2. 2 chairs, both broke
Ive used this chair on several outdoor trips and the following are my observations:
The Good:
-- Reasonably comfortable.
-- Plenty big and wide for a big guy.
-- The arms slide up and down to customize the fit a bit.
-- It just squeezes together, long and narrow, makes it easy to tuck the back of the vehicle to transport.
-- The cup holder may hold a can but it really not large enough for most cups.
THE VERY VERY BAD!!!!!!!
-- After about 6 uses the chair broke at the arm and leg intersection and a short time after that a 2nd chair I purchased shortly thereafter also broke....in an identical way..
-- There is a hole drilled through the tube to allow a joint to swivel and the metal tube snapped at that weak spot.
-- A very poor design and that type of joint by its nature removes the integrity of the metal tube significantly reducing the strength and integrity of the chair.
-- There was no reinforcement integrated at that joint to account for the loss of strength caused by punching hole through the tube.
-- Luckily the failure did not cause me to tumble off the chair into the campfire.
CONCLUSION:
Due the poor design and resulting structural failure I can only give this chair the lowest rating and would not recommend to buy. Purchased through Amazon they did provide a refund and also offered a replacement but I choose the refund.
