Good bench

4 years ago

It can be used to put luggage or sit down. With moderate cushioning, children can sit and sleep. Useful for camping and barbecue.

Great for our camper van

3 years ago

This bench is wonderful. If you have children under age 9 this bench is a good sleeping surface for children. My 5 year old son sleeps here when we minivan camp. We have a 2011 Sienna. The bench is also pretty level with the third row bench seat from the inside. If you don’t have littles this bench could serve you well as an additional trunk organization level.

Awesome Bench

3 years ago

This has oddly been one of my favorite purchases. I kind of mostly use it as a foot rest and a table for random things when sitting near the camp fire. It is also comfortable to sit on. My GF rolled her eyes when I brought this home, but I told her to sit on this and when she did she said 'oh thats kind of nice' The roll of this item isn't a camp necessity, it's more of a luxury item. I won't bring this if my car is too packed with stuff. It is kind of bulky.

Comfortable, Sturdy, Convenient

3 years ago

This is perfect for taking to kids sporting events, car camping, and more. It holds up fine for 2-3 people (~450 lbs.) and is really easy to fold and go. It doesn't pack down super small, but there is enough space inside it to pack some smaller items there when folded.

Outdoor seating for two

3 years ago

Foldup bench with padded seats, sturdy enough for two adults. Has built in handles for carrying, but I am going to get a sling for carrying it. Folds up in to a 24"x18" rectangle. Great for sitting around the fire or out watching fireworks.

Great bench for outdoor outings

Love this bench! Great for bleacher-less baseball games and tailgating. Easy to cary and the material is cooler (temperature-wise) than I thought it would be.

great purchase!

3 years ago

Love this bench! It’s compact to fit anywhere & sturdy enough to have 4 adults sit on it! It’s a great addition to my car camping gear! I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because I wished it was longer. It’s only about ft 4’10 long? So you can’t really lay on it.

Super comfy

3 years ago

I bought this on a whim for my skoolie on sale and so glad i did! Its really comfortable. Im almost short enough to lie on it too ha ha. 4 and not 5 stars as it could fold flatter. Its much chunkier folded than appears (yes i checked the folded meausurements) and i have nowhere to store it on the bus, but i love it enough im going to make it work somehow ha ha. Great last min purchase!
