Comparison with picnic chair

I ended up having both chairs and liked both, but there are differences to consider when making your decision. I already had a picnic time portable exercise chair that I really liked and wanted a different one, but it showed up in my search app on my phone instead. Thinking there weren't any others available I bought this one as it was very similar. Then a delivery problem meant I wouldn't receive it in time for my event. Luckily, I was able to find and order another picnic chair on my computer, which arrived on time. Unfortunately it was too late to cancel this order so now I have both. I have decided to keep this chair as well as I can always use another one of the same kind. It's a little different in a lot of ways and I prefer the picnic chair but I'll let you decide which one works best for you. People always try to request my picnic chair at sporting events because having a tray and extra pockets for programs, price lists and gadgets is very convenient and really convenient. This chair has a tray and pockets. The pockets on this chair vary, including a large one that's especially handy for an extra sling and bulkier items. The tray of this chair also has a drink holder. As I have used the PT chair in my shed to relax on projects I would prefer this chair for that purpose as the larger pocket would be good for gloves, gardening tools or bug spray. This chair's tube is square instead of round and brushed aluminum instead of polished, but is still very light, making it easy to transport. The PT chair has a riser, but I don't use one, so I don't care that it doesn't have one. The armrests are slightly higher on this chair and the lower supports are lower. With both chairs, it's good to have a stretch along the bottom to prevent the chair from sinking into soft ground, but since the legs on this chair are at floor level, it doesn't level as much as the other chair. I felt less stable in this chair as the bottom supports rested squarely on the uneven ground near my shed. Another difference between the two chairs is the seat/backrest. On the PT chair, the backrest is completely separate and although it is attached with a screw on each side, it can be removed if you wish to have your name, team or farm name embroidered on it. This obviously cannot be removed as it is in one piece. While I found the seat and back to be comfortable on both chairs, this chair has slightly less padding and more suspension, meaning you recline a little more and sit a little lower. It's not a huge difference from arm height, but there is a difference. I prefer the other way, and I like the opening between the seat and backrest, but I have to admit that having a closed backrest is probably better for the viewer. Both are perfect for my tall size. In the end, both chairs are good and comfortable. This one has a cup holder, smaller but more pockets, a closed back and allows you to kick back a bit if you like it. The Picnic Time chair is sturdier and better built, with more padding, slightly better proportions and a shoulder strap.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
