I’ve been using my new camp chair just about everywhere, from the parking lot at Squaw in snow, to my garage and backyard. It’s a lot sturdier than other camp chairs I’ve used, but still super lightweight and compact when folded up. The added bonus for me was the built in “soft” cooler...plenty of space for ice packs and anything you plan on drinking after a day on the mountain! Cans, bottles, whatever. I tried to think about something I’d change about it, and all I can come up with is the drink holders could be moved forward a bit....I know....who cares.
I found this chair to be comfortable to sit in (I'm 5'6") and it folds up easily for storage. The table is made of flexible plastic that is sturdy enough to hold light weight items and will dissuade you from placing anything heavy on it which is great. One cup holder is standard size and the other is much larger. After a lot of trial and error, I realized that a standard Nalgene fits in the large cup nicely but if you don't use a Nalgene it's kind of a waste of space. I was really excited about the cooler, but it may only be practical in situations where you don't have to carry the chair too far. You could load the cooler, fold the chair and then carry it to your destination, but that might make the chair heavy and awkward to carry depending on the distance. The cooler is held to the frame by velcro, so you could carry it separately and then strap it to the chair once you set it up. The cooler holds about 8 standard cans and a couple of ice packs and stays cold. The zipper doesn't feel very durable and may not hold up over time. Overall, I think it's a great, stable chair and I look forward to setting it up lakeside this summer with my cold bevvies at my side.
These chairs arrived today in perfect condition. They are exactly what we were hoping for. They are easy to carry and to fold and unfold. The seat height is much better for us with sturdy armrest as well. With a side table and compact cooler we are set for adventure!
I've used the chair on a few car camping trips and have been quite happy with it's durability. The chair seat hasn't started to sag. The material seems to be well built and capable of handling adult weight. The back rest has a nice mesh that kept me cool in the heat. I love the side cooler. My drinks stay nice and cold and being removable it makes it's easy to empty the ice and water. The cup holders on the other arm have a small hole in the bottom of each so water didn't pool when it rained during one trip. The chair is easy to carry when folded. No telescoping sliding parts that break after one weekend!
We camp a lot and have went through quite a few chairs. I think this one will last a long time. It has a nice powder coating and the fabric seems to be good quality as well. My favorite thing about the chair is the table with the cup holders. The larger one fits my 32oz thermoflask. It has a handy cooler that works for a few extra beverages. I can fit 5+ along with an ice pack. It’s not one that you would use for your main cooler as it’s not big enough and is more light duty. There is venting in the back of the chair which will be nice for a bit of cooling on a hot day.
I loved the idea of this chair and even tried it out in the store before buying. But the first time I actually used it, I found it incredibly uncomfortable. The seat isn't very deep and the back is hard and inflexible - so you feel like you're perched on a board leaning against a board. The side tray is huge and I love the cooler, but ultimately the most important thing in a camp chair is comfort, and this is NOT comfortable. Also, I found it so hard to snap into place when opening it that I thought it was broken (or that I would break it trying to pry it open). Maybe this gets better with time, but I'm not going to give it time to find out. Hard pass.
Sturdy chair that keeps one sitting upright during rest periods. Back of chair is tall enough to support a short person's shoulders. Smaller hole on the tray is sized for paper coffee cup. Larger hole is wider than my insulated bottle, but not wide enough to anchor a paper bowl. When not being used as a lunchbag, the insulated pouch has room for a book, insulated bottle, sunglasses, & flashlight, holding things pretty well when the chair is folded & transported as long as one is mindful of the contents. The top of the insulated pouch is capable of supporting a large paper plate full of food. The chair is lightweight enough to lift easily into a truck bed, yet sturdy enough to sit in at the destination.
Absolutely love this chair! Definitely recommend! Very sturdy! Vibrant color. (Purple)
Out of the 4 feet of the chair, one rubber tip was missing and 2 others damaged. Item was also late to arrive.
Before I purchased this chair, I was so annoyed with having to get up to grab a beverage out of the cooler. Not anymore!!! With this cooler chair I can have my favorite beverages ice cold right where I want them, within an arms reach! Talk about convenient. Alongside the cooler feature of this amazing chair, it is also very comfortable. It promotes good posture while sitting, which I am all about having 3 back surgeries in my lifetime. What an outstanding way to maintain a social distance with friends while also staying hydrated! All in all, i have never to this day had such a cool chair. Promotes hydration, good posture, and social distance. You will NOT find a chair COOLER than this one. I can almost guarantee it.
