| While at an Airstream rally in New York, we suffered the loss of two of our four "bag chairs". We had two "Extra Large" ones and two regular ones. We broke one of each. At the rally, Camping World of Syracuse had brought two new Airstreams to display along with various door prizes. Outside one of the trailers, they had some chairs set up. I decided to sit down in one and it was love at first sit! I had found our new chairs. I really don't like bag chairs at all and I find them to be very uncomfortable. We use them because they are convenient. Well, that all changed with this chair. It's convenient, light weight AND very comfortable. It weighs about half as much as most other bag chairs, is extremely strong, yet folds up to the same size as our older large bag chairs. The chair is rated to hold 225 lbs., but I weigh 315 lbs. and it has no problem at all, even when my 65 lb. daughter sits on my lap. I love the fact that the chair has rigid arms instead of fabric arms which makes exiting the chair much easier. The attached cup holder is suitable for a water bottle or a beer, even in a bottle cozy. This chair does not cut into the back of my knees like most bag chairs. It has a slightly reclined seating position, which makes it very relaxing to sit in. We rave about this chair to our friends and they all agree the chair is extemely comfortable. We sprung for the two year replacement plan for only $4.99. It seemed worthwhile to us given that we were replacing two (other brand) chairs that broke.
