Great beach chairs!
These are slightly heavier than a regular beach chair, as you've got a little extra weight from the shade. But they're not super heavy. They set up easy & feel pretty stable. The levers on the shade click into place and can raised or lowered to preference. The levers themselves don't feel like they'll withstand a lot, so be careful when setting up. Even the pillow can be adjusted to your preference, very handy! Over all very pleased with these chairs!

This chair was great for my recent beach trip and very easy to use. It won't shade your entire body unless you angle it during early morning or late afternoon hours. Middle of the day, the chair cover is good for your head and chest only. That was all I was looking for anyway. The only real negative was the price. I waited until the last minute so I reluctantly forked over the $70 plus tax but it really should have cost no more than $40.

I bought one of these chairs for my kids, as they were a cheaper option as compared to the more expensive options offered by better known brands - I have one of the major brand name chairs and it’s matching shade attachment, and it is not as good as this chair. One reason why is the size of the shade - it is really big and not only does it provide great shade you can kind of hide yourself in it - perfect for reading. Really comfortable chair, nice positions options, comfortable to carry with the backpack straps. I wish I had given my kids the name brand expensive ones and taken these for myself.

*Light weight. *Easy to carry - padded straps to wear like a backback *Easy open and close *Back "pocket" holds a lot of stuff and has a drawstring closure so nothing falls out * LARGE cup holder easily holds over-sized cups *VERY sturdy canopy - holds up extremely well, even in steady and gusty beach winds *Comfortable seat - no bar under the legs *Firm, sturdy, comfy arm rests and the back adjusts easily.

We experience some pretty significant winds on our recent trip to the beach. The canopy handled it with ease. I was amazed! That being said............ if the canopy is up on a really windy day, somebody needs to be sitting in it or it will blow away. I tried to move the chair when the wind was blowing really hard and it almost knock me (a 160 lb woman) over. It pushed me backwards for several feet before i could stop it. I had to fall forward in the chair just to make it stop. It was actually hilarious. I wish I had a video of that to share........

trying to come up with a negative, but there just are none. Best beach chair hands down.

I write a fair amount of reviews and I try to be as fair and informative as I can. I've never been paid or offered discounts for any of them. Somebody sign me up for that!

Reviewed in Canada on July 21, 2022
Size: Sunshade BackpackColor: Royal BlueVerified Purchase
Pros and cons. Cons: 1) Unlike my previous beach chair this had no insulated cooler for drink cans, though the drawstring bag attached to the frame is large enough to take one. 2) The drawstring does not completely close the bag so loose objects - sunglasses, keys, sunscreen etc fall out if the chair is upended - as it will be when you open it on the beach or stow it in the trunk. 3) Again unlikely previous model, the chair frame cuts painfully and awkwardly across the lower back when the loaded chair is carried as a backpack. Pros: 1) Very effective sunshade. 2) Sturdy, light frame.

It broke the second time I used it. I'm not overweight or that large either. The concept is good; reclining, with shade, lightweight and built in backpack straps make easy transport.
However, the lightweight materials make it really flimsy and breakable.
