MOON LENCE High Back Folding Camping Chairs Height-Adjustable Widened Seat for Beach with Anti-Sinking Feet

Unlike all the cheaters who get stuff for free and then write a review- lucky dogs I'm envious- I paid full price for this item and this review is my own opinion. I purchased 2 of these chairs so that my wife can have a comfy place to sit too. These are great chairs. Small, light weight and comfortable. I have seen what I think is the exact same chair for $80-120 on line at REI and in my local backpacking stores. These other chairs may have different logo, different fabric and different colors but the design of the chair and the pouch that it comes in essentially the same so I'm pretty sure these chairs are made by the same manufacturer for various retailers. Given that, the $40 price I paid is very reasonable. I bought these chairs to (a) use on the beach in Hawaii and (b) to carry in a small airplane when going on camping trips or to airplane fly-ins. I have not used this chair for either of those yet but I'll know better how they perform after we get back from Hawaii later this spring. I have set them up a few times and have spent an hour or two (total) sitting in them and they are comfy. Not as comfy as a regular folding camp chair but way better than the sit on the ground-type beach chairs. These chairs are a bit lower that other collapsable camp chairs so if you have really bad knees or back you might need a little help getting out of one of these chairs. There is no headrest but the design of the chair does not make me wish for one. The angle that you sit at keeps your neck in a comfortable angle. I have seen a headrest attachment that is designed for this style of chair but I have not tried it. Aside from comfort, another upside is that this chair weighs a fraction of what the bigger chairs weigh and they pack down to a small size so they are portable enough to drop in a daypack and carry with you and you won't really even notice that it is there. Set up is not super easy. It takes a little bit of strength to flex the frame enough to get the last pole into the little pocket that is sewn into the fabric seat but I would not say that it is "hard" or "difficult"- it just requires a bit of elbow grease. I put the opposite corner on the ground and push down on the last pole so that it bends over enough to fit it into the pocket. I highly recommend this product and the seller did a great job of getting it to me even faster than they said they would. Read more

I chose to compare this ultra-light chair to a similar version I have with a high back/Headrest. These chairs are all over Amazon, so this review will probably be applicable to the entire gamut. When it comes to these ultra-light chairs here is what you should look for: + Mesh in the backing to keep it from acting like a wind scoop. + Strong plastic joints + Well reinforced pole sockets + Wide feet bottoms to keep the feet from sinking into the soil This chair has all of these features, with the small exception of the wide feet. This Moon Lence chair has the same feet that are common among these chairs so it is on par with the average. Compared to the high backed chair, this one is waaay more stable. The mesh backing and lower profile keep it from acting like a windsock. My high backed chair falls over with the slightest breeze unless weighed down. This one seems to stay put without weight. It is also substantially lighter than the high backed chair. That being said, the high backed chair is slightly more comfortable. ~~The Question Everyone is Asking in the Back of Their Minds~~ Can you lean back in it? My answer is Yes, as long as you are under 200lbs. If you weight more than that you should not be leaning back in any chair. The multiple joints and the fact that every rod and joint can move independently actually help the chair conform to uneven surfaces and transfer the forces to the ground when leaning back. ~~How Does it Stack up To Your Standard Cheapo 4-Post Folding Chair from Walmart?~~ Way better! Those chairs that have become the norm at every campsite, while cheap and easy, leave a lot to be desired. I would much rather carry this Moon Lence chair a mile to a campsite than one of those chairs from walmart. The weight, space savings and comfort make this chair a clear winner in my book all day long. ~~Would I but this brand/model over a different one again?~~ Being one of the cheapest ones without adjustable legs, I would say yes. The adjustable leg chairs are only going to add more weight. As far as choosing this one over a high backed chair, I would say yes again, primarily due to the extra weight and the fact that the one I have has no mesh and falls over all the time. Conclusion: Definitely worth it as one of the cheapest one on the market. Lighter than a standard camping chair and easier to haul and carry. I will probably keep all of my camping chairs at home from now on and slowly transition my camping chairs over to this type.

Thick material, sturdy, and easy to assemble. I appreciated the adjustable back legs too. I really like the chair, but unfortunately returned it because of one downside: the built in pillow. It was too hard and is not removable or adjustable from what I could see, and unfortunately, that was a deal breaker for me. It is otherwise a very nice and portable chair. Read more

My friend and I booked our first trip to a small island. Being very mature women, we have trouble getting off the ground. We didn’t want to be stuck at resorts just for a chair. After much research, we bought these. They fit easily in to our luggage . Super easy to set up. Light weight and adjustable. After 2 full weeks of daily use, they are still like new. When it came time to pack, we had bought so much stuff we had no room for the chairs. A few zip ties, bound them together, checked as a bag. We did not know if they could Survive baggage handlers. They did! Set up is easy, however, packing them back in the carry case not so much. YouTube can help. Practice before you go. Read more
