Mesh Lounge Reclining Folding Camp Chair with Footrest

I was looking for a lightweight and easily transportable chair that would still be sturdy and comfortable. I got exactly that with this chair. It sits lower to the ground than a normal folding chair you would take to a soccer game or camping. It sits you semi-upright rather than military bolt upright at a 90 degree angle. The footrest is very well engineered to swing out as the chair unfolds and makes for a very comfortable reclining position. Do not get this chair if you want to sit upright at a table or around a group of others. Do get this chair if you want to relax by yourself or with another person in the same chair as if you were at the beach or by the pool.

This is a very comfortable chair which really does recline, and which allows me to keep my feet up. It's easy to set up and take down, and fits back into the carry sack reasonably easily. It doesn't feel flimsy, which I was afraid it might. Just be careful getting in and out, which can be a tad clumsy, since the footrest can't be removed, or swung out of the way. I found that out the hard way, when my husband said something to me as I was sitting down, I missed placing my hand on the (supported end of the) far armrest, but continued my downward trajectory, and took a tumble, which left me with the chair both underneath and on top of me.

I’ve had this chair for over a year now and decided to write a review. Overall I like it, but the one negative is the foot rest actually slopes upward toward the foot end and makes your legs feel like they’re bending backwards at the knee. I recently tore cartlidge in my knee, and it is very uncomfortable to put pressure on them this way so I have to keep a pillow under my legs at the knee when I sit in this chair. Other than that, I really like it. It’s comfortable and functional. Recline angle is perfect for my lower back.

Seriously do NOT pay attention to the bad reviews. A trained monkey could fold them up properly and back into the original bag. They are very sturdy well stitched and extremely comfortable! Not only that but having a vented back rest & chair makes it great for having a bathing suit dry or a enduring a hot summer day. I almost didn’t buy this chair because all the bad reviews and I would have really been missing out. Honestly the red & black matched my boat so I figured I had to at least give it a try and I’m happy I did.

I bought this chair so I can use it to relax and sleep a few hours a night and for what it is, it's very practical and comfortable. It collapses to a point that you can store this chair in a locker!! The frame looks flimsy but I had this chair for over a month of using it almost every night and no problems what so ever! I highly recommend it!!!

I was very happy at first when I took it out of the box and liked how light weight it was. And once we got to the beach and took it out of it's storage bag it opened up very easily. It was also very comfortable to sit in. But then the trouble began - I wanted to recline it, and viewed the instructions on how, and found they were not very clear. And I could not get the chair to recline at all. So I just accepted this and used it in the upright position, which was still comfortable. All seemed fine except for the inability to recline, but when we were ready to leave the beach, again I tried to follow the unclear instructions to fold the chair back up for storing it in the bag it came with, and no matter what we did we could not get the chair to close back up. This was so very frustrating since I liked the chair otherwise. We tried many times to close the chair to no avail, and had to carry it up a very steep staircase up a dune to get it off the beach. As this was my only chair for the beach, the next day I had to cart it back to the beach fully open down the steep staircase to the beach. At the end of our day we had to abandon this chair at the beach since it would never fit in our car in its stuck open position for the trip home. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed and felt I had totally wasted my $60.00. I did read the many other negative reviews here on Amazon too late, and they said the same thing about being unable to close the chair after its first use. I would not recommend anyone buy this chair!!

So yes the frame and the canvas material are super tough however, the elastic strap that hold the leg bars broke first day (not hard to use something else to hold up when folding to store. And when reclining you can only go all the way back or all the way up. I had the impression it could lock on multiple positions. Overall though it’s pretty hard to manipulate into either setting so yes I could be a smoother action to transition between the two.

I am currently using this on a Boy Scouts Camping trip and everyone else is jealous! It is so comfortable we want to order a bunch with the BSA logo and have it be our official chair for the troop.My only caution is that I just got this chair so I can't speak to durability.Update: 3 years later.This chair saved me at that camp. I spent most of my nights in this chair on top of a picnic table under a rain fly. It was heaven.I have read a bunch of reviews relating to getting jammed open. I have never had this issue and I own 2 of these. Maybe a bad production run?From my side I cannot give this chair enough praise. I'm a very happy customer.
