I purchased this bench to keep my stuff off the tent floor on extended car camping trips. It's amazing! Very sturdy and light weight. Beautifully designed, and you can sit with confidence.
This is a very firm stable seat. I purchased it because I was looking for something I could lay flat on my back but with legs bent at the knee while still remaining light/compact enough to take backpacking. This bench fills that role beautifully. Extremely comfortable to lay or sit on. I especially appreciate that it doesn't lean back like most compact chairs do, so it's far easier to lean forwards near the fire or while performing other tasks. Extremely well designed with great attention to detail, pockets in the seat fabric for the cross beams to seat into so it can't slip out or the cloth slip on the rails, tensioning mechanism is able to achieve a great tautness to the fabric while being easy to attach and lock into place. Fabric feels durable and while it is very tight, still has enough give to be comfortable for seating, very similar to how a cot would feel. While expensive, If this fits your need for something compact and light I do recommend it highly.
This is the type of thing that ruins outdoor experiences. I don’t understand the purpose of this bench when there’s perfectly good logs to sit on. Even base camp setups don’t need stuff like this. Portable? Yes; but a waste of weight and space.
