Review on Kijaro Dual Lock Portable Camping Chairs - Enjoy The Outdoors With A Versatile Folding Chair, Sports Chair, Outdoor Chair & Lawn Chair - Dual Lock Feature Locks Sitting Or Packaged Position by Dave Phobia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome chair, with comparison to other similar chairs

I needed four chairs, so I ordered four different chairs with similar styles and with similarly high ratings because I just couldn't tell which one I wanted. In addition to this Kijaro chair ($40), I ordered (all from revain):(1) Browning Camping Strutter Hunting Chair ($55)(2) ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Chair ($60)(3) Coleman Portable Camping Quad Chair with 4-Can Cooler ($35)They were all fine, but each one had a small demerit except this one. This one was my favorite overall for two main reasons: It was the most comfortable and it has TWO sizes of cup holders. One is smaller for cans and beer bottles, and one is larger for bigger cups/mugs. It was the only chair with a cup holder big wide enough for my plastic, stemless wine glasses. Bravo to the designer for the attention to detail. I'm smaller so it felt plenty sturdy to me, but my 200-lb husband also thought it was plenty sturdy, especially for the chair's light weight. Another great feature is the breathable mesh backing. I live in Texas so this was really important for summer use. I love the push button release to collapse the chair to pack it up. This feature was unique to this chair. It was super easy to pack it back into its carrier. And at $40, I think this one was a deal. We haven't used any of the chairs yet but I'll provide an update if anything goes wrong.Comments on the other chairs relative to this one:(1) Browning Camping Strutter Hunting Chair ($55) -- no cup holders; of course this is obvious when you buy it so no surprise; positive is that it was very comfortable to me (5'6, 140 lbs); also, it was the only other chair out of the 4 with a breathable mesh backing; it was also lightweight (7lbs) and easy to repack; this was the only low-to-the-ground chair I bought and I liked it, but I think the price is a little too high considering it is no where near as substantial as the King Kong one which was almost the same price.(2) ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Chair ($60) -- extraordinarily sturdy and wider than the other three but you "pay" for for the extra tough engineering and extra space in terms of weight; it's heavy (13 lbs); the seat padding was also double thick compared to the others; the thick material was very comfortable and would be great in cold weather but probably not on a hot summer day; overall this chair is very comfortable and very nice, but it is more than I need; I think someone who was 275+ lbs would really like/need this chair; the price was excellent considering it's quality; one last thing; because the seating fabric is so robust, this one was the hardest to put back into the carrying bag. Still, I like the chair a lot.(3) Coleman Portable Camping Quad Chair with 4-Can Cooler ($35) -- I found this one to be the least comfortable; I wouldn't call it uncomfortable but it wasn't as comfortable as the other three; there's just something different about the angle, or weight distribution or something; the zip-up armrest cooler, which looks like it could hold 3-4 cans, is a nice touch, especially if you're in very hot weather, but I just don't see why anyone would take drinks out of the actual cooler to put them in the armrest cooler. Also, once you've opened up a can, you're not likely to put it down into the armrest cooler bc it could tip over inside, unless maybe you fill the armrest cooler with ice or other unopened cans?; also, this one was a little heavier than the others at 8.42 lbs (except for the ultra-sturdy King Kong); it felt sturdy, but not really sturdier than it's lighter weight counterparts; the polyester fabric felt nice and I think it will be very durable.
