I am a chair freak, because I have kids in travel sports, and do a lot of outdoor activities. With that being said, this is a compact, sturdy chair you can throw in a backpack and always have on hand. I already have Stadium seats and Bag chairs, but adding this to the mix was a no brainer. I can see myself using this fishing and camping with as well. Time will tell
Just how sturdy it is, but for now it appears to be a good buy. My cat approves! Thank you.
