Other than lack of comfort, I have found that the weakest part of a camp chair is the leg rivets. Are they weak and rust easily?

I've had this chair for over a year and I've had some pretty big people sit in it. I haven't found a weak spot yet and nothing is rusted it's all aluminum I believe.

Rhino chair very comfortable, strong rivets and I am 300lbs and love my chair.

I've had the chair just over a year, have left it out in the rain a couple times and no rust.

Not bad. The foot rest seems pretty strong. I haven't used it to sit for hours.

It's just the way the chair is made. I had to return mine for this reason. I have a bad knee and this chair pitched me out several times while I was trying to push the leg rest back down. Terrible design.

Yes. They are like a long bungee-cord material with a toggle on the end. I've re-laced two chairs and well worth the effort!

The chair height is perfect for my six foot husband! His feet have to rest on the foot strap on bottom. It is not low at all. My husband has difficulty with regular folding camp chairs because they are low . This chair is easy for him to get in and out of . He suffers from arthritis and has no problems with this chair.

We have had to remove the chairs and I will be returning them. One of them came in with the leg broken and the second one broke the first time someone sat in it. These chairs have extremely weak areas on them and, at the risk of being sued, we removed them and would like to return them.

I wish I could be of more help in this matter. I bought the Trekker Chair for my 13-year-old grandson, a sturdy lad who does a lot of hiking with his parents in the Pacific Northwest, and who finds the Chair both useful and comfortable. I would suggest going to a store that sells outdoor recreation items, and trying one on.

I preface my reply by saying that we are very pleased with these stools especially at the price we paid. However, the knob that tightens the foot rest will loosen from time to time. Obviously its not difficult to re-tighten, but this design could be improved. I would purchase this chair again in the event I needed another one.

Yes. It's the best chair I've bought in years. I have 4 of them, different models. I'll be using them on a camping trip this weekend. Quality is the best.

These are the best outdoor chairs that I've owned. They recline a good bit. Good enough for me to take comfortable naps. It would be a close call on if my feet are above my heart. Wish I had taken pics. They stay in my travel trailer. That probably dosen't help you too much. I wanna say yes but I'm not 100% on it.

No. The legs are metal and not painted. One of the most comfortable beach chairs I've owned.

It's a little heavy perhaps - we didn't think it was too bad and if you're a seasoned hiker / camper, it won't worry you at all. The size would be the main concern, as it's pretty long, but the legs do fold up nicely to make it far thinner. Hope this helps - we are still using ours, works great, nice quality, we haven't had any issues with it at all.

We have recently contacted the manufacturer about our chairs, which after one season have started to rot on bottom of legs. Lakeland Mills has asked us for pictures of the damage, which we have not yet sent. The chairs were on dirt under pine trees. Not the same situation as yours, but similar. Info with the chairs said that cedar is naturally resistant to rot...and we may "be assured of many years of useful service."

I would say they are strong enough to hold a camper shell, but not strong enough to hold a ladder or lumber rack.

I have both the folding lounge and the folding chairs. The folding lounge chair is listed as 240lbs max, the folding chairs I believe posted as 250 and I'm in that neighborhood and they are sturdy. The metal is very sturdy (not lightweight aluminum like my other set), the webbing is strong... the weak point is probably the way they insert/capture the webbing - it looks to be bonded with a pressed insert - which if that came close to failing I'd just use webbing screws to reinforce it. I've only used mine a few times but I'm happy with them.I would not recommend them (or any webbing patio chairs) for 300# or over but 250 and under is fine.Good luck--Thomas I have both the folding lounge and the folding chairs.

I can't find a weight or max load for these chairs. I was over 550 pounds at the time I brought these chairs and I was hard on them, and the chairs have not bent or show any stress to the metal, or the wood seat. But I had to replace the foot caps on one of the chairs, it had wore away, the rest of the caps look great.
