Comments about ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair - Special Buy:
Hard to decide whether this is aluminum or steel. Certainly has the weight of steel. It is a sturdy very useable chair that suffers from average finish and workmanship. The rubber padding on the handrests started to peel after a couple of uses.This is a heavy chair to lug around for family camping but worth it. Does not exactly fold into a compact bundle. At the [$] price it will certainly outlast the [...] chairs and is very handy for spectator sports.Knowing what I know now I would not purchase this chair again.
Pros
- Comfortable
- Steady
Cons
- Bulky
- Difficult break down
Best Uses
- Campgrounds
- Day Trips

Comments about ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair - Special Buy:
CONS
It weighs more than other chairs.
It folds down but I would not call the result compact.
Cosmetic imperfections begin showing up as soon as it is used.
Attaching/unattaching the back rest to the base is a project as the pieces are very tight. Will try filing and/or greasing the contact areas to see if that helps.
It is a very, very comfortable chair. So comfortable, in fact, that anyone who sits in this chair won't want to go back to their personal chair.
The CONS ensure that this is not a perfect product. That being said, I'm picking up another based on its comfort and price point.

Comments about ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair - Special Buy:
This is a GREAT chair! It is designed for us old retired former backpackers. It is wide for old fat butts, and high for old blown out knees. And built to take the load. Heck, I am a big guy and appreciate that I can RELAX in this chair without worry of it collapsing. And just how far are you going to carry a camp chair anyway?

Comments about ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair - Special Buy:
I have a very similar [...] chair - this one is made of steel - the [...] is aluminum. This one is very heavy to carry (my wife won't carry it, so she gets my[...] chair). However, it is sturdy and very comfortable - way better than the folding chairs.
Pros
- Comfort
- Durable construction
- Stability
Cons
- Large when folded
Best Uses
- Campfire Chillin
Comments about ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair - Special Buy:
I must have purchased 5 different camp chairs over the years in an effort to find one that wouldn't leave my back in pain after a weekend of camping. I have finally found my chair. The director style chair keeps the cross bars from cutting off circulation to your legs as most folding camp chairs do. It also offers a wide, flat seat pan that is easy to get in and out of without tipping over. The only down sides are: the chair does not fold up very small (they make a smaller version but with a lesser weight rating) and I have to kick people out of this chair each time I vacate it. Even the little kids prefer it to their special kid sized chairs. It is well worth the price for the comfy ride!
Pros
- Comfortable
- Wide Seat
Cons
Best Uses
- Backyard
- BBQ

This is a great chair. I can't say enough good things about it. It pulled me from the despair of the uncomfortable folding chairs that I have had to endure. :o)

Comments about ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair - Special Buy:
We bought a pair of these over the summer to replace old fold up chairs for a camping trip up north. They exceeded our expectations. They are so sturdy that when you are sitting in one and your 2 kids jump into your lap, there is no fear that you're going down. We liked them do much that I bought a pair for my Dad for Christmas.
