I'm drinking a cup of coffee while sitting in this chair in my living room, it's that comfortable! I'm tall, 5'10" and I fit perfectly in it. Outside, I've primarily used the chair at the beach and it was sturdy and stable in the wet sand. The aluminum construction, the chair padding/fabric, and the wooden armrests are of high quality. The color combination of the pale aqua blue and pale light wood is unique and very beautiful. I closed my eyes when I spent the money for this beachchair because it was pricey yet I knew I'd use it for many, many years, a good investment! The chair still looks new, and I take great care with it when I travel. The back straps are an added plus!
Comfortable and light chair. The handle and straps to carry on back on nice. However, the screws ripped out of the arm. There are a few other reviews that state this can happen. I leaned to one side and this occurred. If you're outside the return window, you can fix this yourself by drilling through and using bolts instead. Ultimately, this shouldn't happen to a product like this. It's design flaw.
Purchased this chair a few weeks ago during the Labor Day sale. Went with the padded vs standard outward low lawn chair. Very glad I did as this chair is comfy and very versatile. I have already taken it camping and to and to an outdoor concert, and it worked perfect. Compactly folds like a standard lawn chair. Easy to pack up and tear down and and carry on your back to free up your hands. The only thing that I’m not pleased with is the shoulder straps aren’t padded, they are just simple straps. Not a huge issue, but would be nice to have some padding especially it you have to carry the chair some distance. Overall great chair. Well worth the value.
Bought two of these in October 2022 for $23/each. Great little chairs but how are they on sale now for $65?. They are nice, but not $60/ea nice. Pricing on Co-Op stuff like this has gotten a bit crazy. Would buy again for under $30.
We’ve had these chairs for three years now (two low, two high). We love them for the beach and always get compliments on them. They’ve held up well and we’ll be getting another one to accommodate our expanding family. Highly recommend! If you have kids, and take the chairs camping where it can get muddy, the dirt obviously shows on the lighter fabric. But they look like new when we only use them for the beach and easily cleaned them off from our one kid camping excursion (non-issue if it’s just adults because you’re not climbing all over them with dirty feet!).
This chair is awesome and I did love it until the screws pulled out of the wooden arm rest. Bummer I wasn't able to get it replaced due to the fact that I had bought it 2 years ago. Time to MacGyver it.
Bought these for 23$ in 2022. The only complaint I'd have is the price for anyone buying them now. Very comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and stylish.
Really like this chair, but not the right size for me. Arm rest is too high, the bar under under my legs is uncomfortable, and overall a bit bulky for what I'm looking for. Love the color and material though. Great quality.
I recently moved and my furniture delivery was delayed by a week. I bought an air mattress, this chair, and the REI Co-op Outward Side Table and “camped” in my new home for a week. My plan was to put this chair on my patio after my furniture was delivered but this chair is so comfortable that I might just keep it in my house!
I got these a few years ago on sale. I like how sturdy it is. I bought it with the idea of being close to the fire. It is now in our living room for an extra chair. Aside from camping we are a big family and use it once we run out of couch space. Fast forward to today, and now my one year old uses the chair to sit next to us in the couch. We keep it folded in a little corner next to our dogs kennel. I love this chair and I am even happier it’s sturdy enough for my toddler to stand up on it.
