I am over 300 lbs and this baby handles my wide posterior with ease.
This is a big step above wiggling into one of them cheapy lawn chairs.
I like the fact that after a walk over to check the grill, I don't need to worry that the chair is still stuck to my behind. This chair is great for anyone wanting side-to-side room and strength. It's rated up to 300 pounds; I exceed that a bit and the chair seems quite sturdy with me in it. If you are contemptuous of the "thin is in" philosophy and agree that "baby fat is where it's at", then this is the chair for you.

This is a nice chair; easy to get into and out of for larger people. It's light for carrying around, although it only folds flat and so is still large (but no big deal, and part of the reason it's strong is how it folds). Side table is sturdy and easy to set up; pockets are a nice touch. The only real problem: the design of this chair, with the fabric suspended between the left and right bars, is perhaps comfortable for a skinnier person who sits in a narrow space, but for anyone with bigger legs or a wider way of sitting (especially males), your legs are resting on the metal frame, and it is not comfortable, especially if your legs are shorter so your thighs are not angled up. Again, not the manufacturer's fault, it's a design issue. This chair is still far better than those fall-into-the-umbrella chairs.

This chair is wonderful, everyone how sees it wants to know where to get on. The bag type folding chairs hurt my back and were difficult for my Hubby to get up from due to knee trouble.
Just make sure the table is secure in the up position and it will tip if you stand up with too much wieght on the table.

Strong, well made, chair that is perfect for camping. I use it at tailgaiting parties at the Rose Bowl for UCLA football. Go Bruins! Having the little side table is great. The table is big enough for a beverage and a plate of food. Side bag holds a bottle water, keys, other items. Great product if you need a chair for outdoors.

I bought three of these,(black, red and blue) and they have certainly exceded my expectations. They are very sturdy, roomy and comfortable. Easy to fold and unfold, with easy to use handles for transport. The pockets come in handy. The drink holder is a great bonus as it is deep and I haven't had a slosh or spill even when moving the chair.
The back provides great support and I love that the material from the back attaches to the seat bottom-very comfortable and no cold breezes on my lower back!
I anticipate that these will be useful year 'round as they have already been a delight to use on my deck during cold months.

Recently went on a 2-day camping trip with a bunch of other friends and their families and must say, we were the only ones that had trays attached to our chairs. To me, the trays are what set this chair apart from all the others. We noticed no issues with the chair wanting to tip over towards the tray side even if the tray was loaded down and no one was sitting in the chair. We didn't have an heavy weight items sitting on it, but did have what you might expect to find: couple water bottles, bag of chips, and sun screen. No issues what-so-ever. Chairs seem plenty firm yet comfortable too.

The negatives: The chairs seemed a little tricky to fold up at times, particularly the tray. I was worried one of us might get a finger pinched or cut trying to close it. Another thing that seemed a bit odd to me, and made me think maybe I wasn't getting such a great deal, was the packing slip. While I had just paid over $40 dollars each for these chairs, there was an invoice within the package that showed them costing something like $34 or such.

The chair is as advertised. Its EXCELLENT !!!! Holds up well, nice looking, etc. This was probably the least expensive price to pay for this chair from any retailer. Fast service / delivery.

I needed a good sturdy chair for when I take my mom to outdoor events. This is a great chair !!!

I bought one of these about 8 months ago to bring with me when I go to my dog agility trials. It is very sturdy and comfortable to sit in. I love the side table to use at lunch time. My husband hated the last set of chairs we had because they would hurt his legs with the cross bar when he sat on them. He loves these too, so now I am buying another one. I only wish I had bought 2 before because the price went up about 15 dollars.

This chair is well constructed and solid. The flip out table is a good size and also sturdy. There are two handles under the seat that help with carrying the chair when it's folded, but it is fairly tall, so you have to bend your elbow to keep from dragging it on the ground. The chair itself is comfortable and the aluminum arms are great to pushing yourself up out of the chair, unlike many folding chairs I've owned.
