As I have said a couple times, I don't usually write reviews but I had to put a lot of work in to find the right chair for my wife and I. I'm a big guy, 6'7" 305lbs and when my wife asked me to get a couple of these for going to our R/C Flight club or down to the river, I knew I had my work cut out for me. She wanted to get these $34 cooler chairs and while those are nice, they're not super sturdy at the best of times, especially not with someone my size sitting in them. I did some research and after going through several "heavy duty" chairs and trying a bunch at the local stores, we decided to get a set of these. They showed up and after unboxing, they were in a really nice storage bag. Not one of those super thin ones either. It's got some kind of lining on the inside material or so it looked to me. Nice and durable. Set up is easy, just unfold and have a seat! The blue version from the company comes with a nice bag for your magazine or phone, and a swing out cup holder (the black did not, important to note...it was $10 cheaper). The metal is nicely coated tube design and very firm feeling. Not that flimsy aluminum stuff, this is a steel frame chair. Material feels thick and sturdy, something that is going to hold up pretty well with some simple care. The arms are a solid tube so you can rest on them with ease, again, not a floppy piece of cloth. Use them to get up and sit down, they can take it. Feet are on a rocker design so they'll adapt to weird ground but have little treads so they don't slide around once you set it up. The seat doesn't have weird plastic rivets on the side (Like the $34 dollar one did) and it doesn't have a metal bar under the front of the cloth digging into your thighs. Speaking of the seat, did I mention it was roomy? My tookus fit with room to spare and relax and spread out in. You're not going to get pinched here if you know what I mean. Folding it up took about 5 seconds to figure out. Stand in back of the chair and pull the arms towards you and inwards. It DID fit back into the bag too which was nice because if you've done camping gear before, you know that's usually impossible. Overall I couldn't be more pleased with these (so far) and I figured, since I had to work my butt off to find something that would fit me, be sturdy and be comfortable, I'd leave a review so someone else doesn't have to work as hard as I did to find something good. If I had to give it a con, it weighs like 16 pounds in the bag. Heavy? Meh...it's heavier than the $34 one than came in at 8 pounds but it's a *steel* framed chair, it's going to weigh more. Maybe if you're looking for a chair to haul up a mountain or go hiking with, this isn't it. If you're going to go somewhere, haul them out of your car, 16 pounds is nothing and I'd have some really serious problems if I couldn't handle that LOL. Long story short, if you're looking for a great big guy chair, this is it. It costs more but you're getting solid quality that is comfortable. I'd rather pay more for something I can use season after season instead of it breaking at the end of the summer and I have to get another. Read more
This lives up to as it is advertised and was a great gift for the person I got it for. Worth the price and great quality. Very easy to set up and fold to put away. The insulated cup holder is nice, as is the one on the side that slides in and out. Wide seat is comfortable. Seems pretty stable and durable since it was bought. No complaints here! Read more
My husband and I bought a matching set of these chairs in 2023! We have used them for 2 summers and they have held up so well! Every time we bring them somewhere, we are asked about the chairs and where we got them. They sit up so well, no sagging! They hold a lot of weight, so we are never worried about letting someone try them out and sitting on them! I would pay the price of these again in the future to be able to have such good quality and comfortable chairs. The only downside for me is they are a bit heavy, thankfully I have a big, beefy husband is always insisting that he carry the chairs when we are together! Read more
I'm a big girl, 5'9" 300+, and I needed a chair for an outdoor concert I was attending. This turned out to be perfect. It checked all three of my boxes. I wanted to: 1) not feel like I was sitting on the ground 2) not feel like the chair could give way under me at any point and 3) not feel like I was spilling out of the chair and looking like a fat lady in a little chair. (It's okay if you laugh at that :) This chair sits nice at tall. My feet sit flat on the ground, and if I was a little shorter they wouldn't quite touch the ground. It feels incredibly sturdy and it has a good width. I have room to move around comfortably in the chair, rather than feeling sort of stuffed into it. If you're not a bigger person, you may not know what I mean. The chair opens/closes in one easy motion. It's a little heavier than most tailgate chairs (because of the size and sturdy materials), but when you carry it on your back via the case, it's not bad at all. I carried it about a quarter mile each way to and from my car with no problem. The cup holder is convenient, as well as the hanging pouch on the side. This was money well spent! Forgot to take a picture, but will post one soon! Read more
I truly wanted to give this chair a full 5 stars because it has been a great product overall. The TIMBER RIDGE Oversized Folding Camping Chair is extremely comfortable and thoughtfully designed. I chose this chair specifically for the 500 lb weight capacity, the high back support, and the added features such as the cup holder and cooler side pocket. From the first use, it felt sturdy, supportive, and very comfortable for extended periods of sitting. It has quickly become my favorite camping and outdoor chair. Unfortunately, less than one month after purchasing the chair, I noticed that the seam in the seat area began to rip. This was disappointing to see, especially since the chair has been used lightly and exactly as intended. The issue appears to be related to the seam itself rather than any misuse. That said, I still have a very positive impression of this chair and the TIMBER RIDGE brand. I understand that manufacturing defects can occasionally happen, and I truly believe this may be an isolated issue. Everything else about the chair has exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely continue purchasing from TIMBER RIDGE in the future. I am hopeful the company will stand behind their product and offer a replacement at no charge. If this issue is resolved, I would be more than happy to update this review to 5 stars and continue recommending this chair and brand to others. Thank you for creating such a comfortable and well made chair. I look forward to being a long term TIMBER RIDGE customer. Read more
