A Chair I Don't Have To Crawl Out Of!!!

Rating:*****
We needed extra chairs on our patio for occasional guests that could also be used at outdoor events. This chair is perfect. I have arthritis and most chairs are difficult to get out of without assistance. No problem with these. They are a bit heavy but we don't plan on carrying them any distance. They certainly won't crumple up like flimsy aluminum chairs. We love that they are easy to store and easy to pack in the car. We're extremely pleased and are thinking of buying two more.

Very sturdy

Rating:****
This chair is really comfortable and easy to set up. Solid and sturdy. Only folds to the side though so not very compact, and you trade the sturdy for light so it isn't a chair you'd want to have to carry very far from the car - even though there is a nice shoulder strap on the carrying case. Unless you're a very big person (and I'm the opposite), it isn't very comfortable to carry it that way.

A good excuse to sit more

Rating:*****

This chair is great. Solidly built, easy to carry, easy to pack. I am a big man, and am not squeamish about plumping down into this chair around the fire, at the game, or just shooting the breeze with neighbors. Other chairs I feel comfortable with only one cheek on while I keep a hand on the ground ready for a collapse, not the ALPS chair. Buy it, you won't be disappointed for the price point.

NO more sagging seat

Rating:*****
We were looking for a fold up chair that did not become a saggy, hammock seat. This is it. My husband has back trouble and the firmer seat is great. He still uses a lumbar pillow, but the chair does sit upright and more or less like an old fashioned webbed lawn chair. It is heavy as other reviews noted, but that is clearly a result of the sturdy construction.

This is a great chair!!!!

Rating:****
After having back surgery it was difficult to find a comfortable chair that was easy to get out of and portable. These are great chairs around the camp fire after a long day of trail riding. The supports that cross behind the seat do NOT hit your back as do many chairs of the same type. The only change I would like to see,would be a higher back.

Good Deal

Rating:****
I bought two of these chairs for my sons to take to college and could not be more pleased. They are sturdy and fold for neatly storage. My sons love them. They use them in the dorm room when additional seating is needed and easily carry them to outdoor events. I found them a wee bit heavy to carry, but my boys disagreed.

Very Nice Chair

Rating:*****
Very nice chair. Solid construction. Looks like it will hold up well. I purchased one and I liked it so much I ordered two more. The price is great also. Be careful with the drink holder, it tends to rotate and pour out your beverage. The feet of the chair are a little small in diameter and can sink in soft ground.

Great value, very comfy chair!

Rating:****
I love this chair! We liked our first one so much, we bought two more. It's an excellent value and truly comfortable and supportive to sit in. Easy to fold up and put away for storage too. The only request I'd make is the ability to replace covers when they wear out.

Most comfortable of the type

Rating:****
The chair is a little heavier than some of its' kind, but is MUCH more comfortable. Extra weight is worth it and it's well balanced in the bag over your shoulder. Cup holder is fairly useless. Feet are a bit small & I'm concerned that they'll sink into a wet lawn ;-{

Heavy duty portable chair

Rating:****
I've gone through many portable chairs, all of which bent and broke pretty easily through weekly use by kids. This one is well designed, well built and made of steel. Seems durable, but only time will tell. Very comfortable, too. Only drawback is that its heavy.
