To assemble the chair, you need to insert the two posts in the back rest into the base of the chair. The opening to insert one of the posts into was dented and misshapen and the post would not fit, so the chair could not be assembled. Poor quality control.
I have three of these Alps camp chairs Nice sturdy chairs. On each of the chairs, the seat fabric has torn, thus rendering them useless. Too bad, they were quite comfortable
I’ve used it once, cushioning on armrest of ripping, cup holder plastic is coming off and I haven’t even put a drink in it. I gave it two stars for the durable metal but that’s about it. After 8 days of ownership it’s going back to rei
Ordering my third. Someone stated the foam on the arm wears out. I suppose that’s true, but it doesn’t really bother me. Have given these chairs tons of abuse, and they still work great. I like it for cooking and sitting at a table since it doesn’t slouch down or back like a lot of camp chairs- you don’t sink into it. I usually bring this one for that purpose and a couple other lighter chairs. This one is a bit heavy, but worth it to have a sturdy chair in the mix. Alps mountaineering makes good affordable gear.
Great camp chair. We strap it on to the camper and take it everywhere. Very well made and comfortable, stable.
Chair works really well. Love the sturdy construction and arm breast. I don’t use the cupholder. I feel secure sitting in this unlike many other camping chairs.
These chairs are bullet proof for car camping. Heavy, well built, comfortable, even at 6 ft 2 in.
Great chair but unfortunately I feel guilty as the chair fabric wears out before the metal does. Wish the product was designed to allow a recovering. I have used at least 6 of these over the last 30 years. Price was great given an old model year, I noted the box indicate REI had ordered 1000. It does fold but is not compact . However is is much more comfortable, an easy sell for me.
I really like this chair. Easy to transport and comfortable, but the stitching was damaged out of the box.
Well built and very sturdy, however as a result it is rather heavy .
