🏕️ ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Camping Chair Review

The chair looks solid, the material is comfortable and thick. However, when you sit down, your buttocks don't stay level with your hips. This makes it difficult to get out of and puts a lot of pressure on your hips to the point where it's quite painful to use even for short periods of time. I returned it.

This is a sturdy chair that is built to last. The only complaint I had initially was that the center of the seat sags too much and puts pressure on the backs of my legs from the front. In another review I saw a solution that someone came up with using 2" wooden blocks. I came up with a simpler solution that seems to work so far. It relieves the pressure on the backs of my legs and lets me sit a little higher in the chair. .

I had high hopes for this camping chair. I opened it; it came in a nice tote bag. Sitting in a chair with plenty of room and high off the floor, noticed 2 tears - one in the fabric of the chair and one of the fabric straps that attached the armrests was almost torn in half. I uploaded the photos and one star so far. *Update* Tearfully returned the chair for a new one. The replacement came quickly and met all my expectations. This is a quality product, just check the material right away.

This is definitely a brutal chair. I'm taller and heavier than average so finding a safe place is almost impossible. I agree with the other posters but that he sits too far back and only puts him one step further than them. From regular pool noodles, cut a 3.25" section on each side, you will need to trim it to fit. but it fits perfectly. I then wrapped the cut outs with a layer of Gorilla Tape. This keeps them in place so they don't pop out, and still allows the chair to be folded and put back

Received the chair yesterday. Today I tried. Surprised how big it is when folded. Thought it would be too big. It didn't turn out. In short, it was perfect. To me, that's something between a soft chair and a boy. Didn't even notice the side pockets, but the cup holders work as advertised. It is said to be valued at £800. I will say that this is accurate due to the sheer size and amount of material used to make this chair. I would take out my calipers and check everything, but I'm sitting in my…

This is a great chair for tall people. It is very spacious, the material is pleasant and it is very easy to move. It comes with 2 cup holders, 2 pockets on the sides of the arms and another pocket on the back. It's quick and easy to assemble! Thanks to the bag, this chair is very easy to transport. The only issue I had was the front of the chair where the seat ends. The King Kong has great technology to accommodate tall people, especially when they get up from their chair. Unfortunately, this…

This is a great, well built and comfortable chair. Assembled with screws instead of the typical cheap rivets (DO NOT REMOVE those). Good build quality. I read pre-purchase Revain customer reviews (as always) that expressed discomfort with the back of the legs at the front of the chair. I've experienced the same thing. Before ordering, I knew the seat height front and rear is 18 inches, which is what I wanted. I took some measurements and found my butt was only 12 inches off the floor when…

This is a great chair with many positive qualities. First of all, we wanted seating for traveling in a C-Class motorhome, the largest tailgate of which is quite small. This chair is great for that as it folds up really well into a small circular bundle which then fits into a tie-close storage bag. When fully folded the entire package is 9" in diameter, perfect for our small trash can doors which are only 23" in diameter. As for the chair itself, depending on what you're looking for, my husband…

I really like this chair. i'm a big guy Big and big. After destroying so much of my friends and family's outdoor seating over the years, I realized that carrying my own chair to picnics and garden parties was less embarrassing than being pulled out of a tangle of tarp and aluminum, while people are very hot dogs and at the bottom of their cups. I bought this for an out of town job where I had to sit in front of a car 10 hours a day and the only option available to me was unlined metal. folding…
