Like the height of seat. Seems well made and sturdy.
Much easier to get out of. Using it on the beach I made a heavy cloth for it to sit on and did not sink into sand.

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2024

The media could not be loaded.
 In theory, it’s a very comfortable chair. However, the first one I purchased broke after the first use and they were kind enough to send me a replacement. I hoped that it was a one-off but the replacement is showing signs it is about to break as well. The bars on the back side of the chair are both visibly bent. I brought it to the beach yesterday and it took the assistance of FOUR ADULTS to get the chair to properly close. Very disappointed with the quality for an expensive beach chair. And will have to buy an alternative elsewhere since I can no longer open or close it properly.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022
Style: Sunshade CaptainColor: SaybrookVerified Purchase
I’ve only used this once and I’m ready to buy another one. Seems like it will be long lasting, and being able to super-easily change the angle of the canopy according to the sun is great. It might not be great for someone tall, because the seat length is short—does not reach the back of one’s knees. It is larger and weighs more than plain folding chairs, but not too much.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023
Style: Sunshade CaptainColor: SaybrookVerified Purchase
Beautiful quality, amazing that it folds back into carry bag. Not too heavy for me to carry on shoulder from car to outdoor concert. Only concern is that sunshade will block view of anyone sitting behind me at a concert. But I am keeping it as I can easily fold the shade when sun goes down and seat is very comfortable and not too heavy. A bit difficult to fold and unfold but I expect that will improve with time.
