    Too big to fit in your pocket and too small to comfortably sit on. Effective!

    Sitting that low is painful for the knees and I hate chairs without backs. I'd rather sit on the ground.

  • @sarahj6795
    @sarahj6795 7 років тому +8

    As someone who can't stand for long periods of time because of a back injury, this looks completely useless as a solution. It's very low, has zero support for the back, and is very unsteady. It looks like it would hurt more than standing. The same would go for most people who really need some sort of chair, like the elderly. I imagine there would be a fairly small group of people for whom this would actually be helpful.

    I hate it when they pad out the infomercial with stupid examples instead of just giving us information on the product and leaving the possibilities to the customer. That is usually a sure sign that the infomercial is full of it.

    My family has a boat and we always bring the chairs that woman had to the beach and the only thing that makes it difficult to unfold is when sand gets in it or it gets rusty.
    Also why is that one guy carrying all those chairs with no help whatsoever?

    Definitely not a new product. My uncle got one from a military surplus store some decades ago, and it's a fair bit sturdier than this one (it had chains instead of cloth straps for the sides). Still works fairly well, although the canvas probably needs replacing sometime soon…

    You know when something claims to be "Lightweight yet heavy duty" and also doesn't cost a lot, they're lying. There is no such thing as "Lightweight" as well as being "Heavy duty". Those are two contradicting words. You can have it light and flimsy or heavy and durable. Not both at the same time.

    Nothing new if you go to a high end camping store...again it's a product that is only so so at what it does. A LOT less then the other compact chairs that work a lot better and are as small and made of material that wont break. Sitting on the ground works for me, and if I am at any normal camp site bringing a long a real camp chair is not hard to do and you can relax. Hell I have one that has rocking legs...LOL

    @supernova743 9 років тому +1

    This chair isn't supposed to replace actual chairs. You're not actually supposed to sit for a long time or expect it to hold all your weight if you fall on it. It's mostly there to remove some of the stress on your knees in cases where you would be squatting. This "chair" provides some added movement at the cost of support. Obviously if you're going to be sitting a while you'll want an actual chair. So it works but it's not a chair, more like a smaller more portable stool.
