The Cafe Chair is a perfect height for sitting (I'm 5' 9"). I know that sounds silly but I've found many lightweight camping chairs too low for me - with some chairs so low that I have to sit with my legs out straight / no bending at the knees or my knees will be at my chest height. When seated in the Cafe Chair, I can sit back or forward in the chair and I don't have any sensation of the chair leaning too forward or backward. The only knock I can make against the chair is - it can feel a bit confining in terms of width with your arms inside along your body. Put your arms outside the chair or rest them on the edge of the fabric and it's fine -- it's kind of a hammock feeling (width wise). Setting up the Cafe Chair legs and seat support is simple enough. The fabric seat section requires a little bit of strength to get the end corners stretched over the support poles - it's not too difficult but be aware if you have limited/restricted capacity in one hand or arm, you may find that setup a challenge.
