## Description

desertcart.com: Front Runner Expander Camping Chair (Black Portable Outdoor Folding Chair). : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Great chair that is very compact for transportation - This is a great chair that I find very comfortable. I am 6’4” and I find I have plenty of room in this chair which isn’t something I can say for a lot of chairs that are designed to fold up so small. It’s easy to deploy and just as easy to fold back up.
Review: sturdy and lasting, worth the money - i had the original GCI version of this before they discontinued it, now i have this version (only difference i found was its black and not green) for about two years and its awesome. its the the most comfortable of all the camping chairs that ive tried plus very easy to store. i can strap it to my backpack when i walk to the beach very easily. IT IS STURDY. this thing has never even hinted at having too much weight on it, hence the weight of the chair itself, its just solid. all in all just get it, itll last forever and it folds from small to a full chair in seconds once you get the hang of it. my only complaint is the drink holder bottom detached from the mesh. id still get it again and i think i will before summer gets here.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are there any flimsily plastic bracing parts as with a GCI chair I recently purchased through amazon?**
A: These chairs are made by CGI Outdoor in China for Front Runner. (stated on chair's tag) They are solid chairs from my experience of owning a set of 4, plus storage bags (which are excellent as well).  At 9lbs each they have quite a bit of sturdy steel construction to them - and very little plastic. I weigh a little over 200lbs and have never felt any sort of give or flimsiness when using the chairs. Hope that helps.

**Q: Where can i purchase the carrying bag? Can’t find on Amazon**
A: Front runner outfitters-Amazon

**Q: Dimensions folded and unfolded?  Seating height?**
A: Hi! The folded dimensions are:

18 x 17.6 x 3.3 inches

Seating height is 17" tall and the seat is 20" wide when opened.

**Q: Can the fabric pieces be removed for cleaning?**
A: Hi Emma,

The back rest fabric can be removed, but the rest of the fabric is not removable. It can be cleaned with a damp rag with a little soap if needed.
