Love the compact portability and can store them anywhere. Surprisingly comfortable & had lots of camp chairs over the years. The design is quite clever but the quality could be better as far as the plastic and screws go. The screws used in the plastic parts (about 20!) are tiny and not up to the job. Will have to watch them carefully so they don't come loose, or rust. Also need to watch that the telescopic rails are clean before collapsing the chair after use. Any dirt or grit sticking to them will get into the mechanism. Wouldn't use these chairs on sand.
