Upgraded Portable Folding Stool, 13 Inch Camping Stool for Adults Fishing Hiking Gardening and Beach with Carry Bag, Hold Up to 450lbs[Black]

This stool is seriously tiny but it weighs almost nothing. It unfolds and is ready for sitting in a matter of seconds. This would be good for backpacking and can double as a small table and a chair. It supported all 160# of me when I stood on it with one foot (there really isn't space for two!)

I brought it with me camping. It does its job. Also it folds small enough to where I can take it with me store to store where there are no chairs, and my boyfriend needs to sit. The only thing I don’t like is that the bag, the draw string part rips super easily. Other than that it’s a good little chair.

So, although it's short and heavy, I initially liked this chair. Says it's rated to 400lbs so I assumed that's what the extra weight in the metal was about.I'm a 6ft 300lb guy. I use these types of chairs at work when I'm working low for long periods. My old chair (different brand) lasted about 9months until the fabric started to rip. This chair did not last a week.I sat it in today and it bent and my butt hit the ground. Maybe it wasn't locked in position all the way, but I had been sitting in it fine previously, got up to get a tool and fell when I sat back down.I'm returning it and trying a different brand.No harder to assemble than any other chairs of this type.

It’s small and compact, I used it for sitting at bus stops… the uses are limited by the elastic band inside of it that fell apart after a couple of months.

Later Edit: The elastic strap that is embedded inside one of the metal legs had snapped during regular use. This made the chair unusable until repair. My confidence in this chair has dropped. I ordered a similar design because it's the perfect *kind* of chair, but the new one won't have the metal pipes that are able to slip in and out.Old Review: I needed something small and lightweight. I use it while outside running HVAC service calls. I will sit on it while in front of the condenser unit to save my knees. It's very comfortable for the size and convenience, though I don't think I'd want to sit on it as my only chair if I were camping; I'd probably only use it to rest while also doing some sort of work that doesn't require my full effort, like whittling a stick into something, or doing other stuff by a campfire.

The char is a bit short but . . . when you think about it, having a chair when you are hiking, fishing or in a long line somewhere, super valuable. This chair is so small when you fold it up that you can have several in your backpack

Honestly, I just wanted a little/cheap hassock/footrest for my home office, and this does the job pretty nicely. It doesn't take a lot of space, and I can prop my feet up under a table without really worrying about unnecessary occupied space that "furniture" would take up.It has an interesting mix of puzzle-style collapsibility combined with sturdiness for purpose when (easily) assembled. The puzzle-style is "easy" in the sense that the pieces are guided by elastic bands. One can't get the assembly wrong without effort in opposition. That is, the elastic bands guide the assembly together, and it would take some doing against what the elastic is trying to do to get the assembly wrong. But likewise, the disassembly to fold down isn't hampered by the internal elastic, either. Further, once disassembled, there is yet another permanently attached elastic loop that can be used to help hold the whole stool together. The cloth seat seems really sturdy, and the pocket is a convenient addition.As a chair to sit on, I don't recommend it for long periods, but it does keep your butt off the ground, albeit a few inches lower than a standard chair might, which may increase the difficulty to get up from a seating position. Yes, still better as a foot stool. I suppose one might consider it as a table, but I wouldn't recommend anything requiring a flat, level surface, unless placing say, a cutting board atop the stool. Admittedly, this is also many times a pertinent point (not being flat, level) with regard to chairs.I was considering either this or one of those plastic-expandable chair/stools -- you know, the ones that resemble an upside-down version of one of those collapsible pill cups -- and definitely would have gotten the plastic stool if I wanted a step stool or a table as an option.Overall, if this is the style and feature of stool that appeals to you, there's really nothing functional about the stool I can determine that I, personally, would warn against from purchasing it.

Looking for the perfect field chair!? Don’t buy. Just keep looking. This thing is tiny. Try sitting on it with your kit on and it will break. Portability is nice. Makes a nice field night stand. It is light.
