Portable Stool, Foldable Camping Stool, Zip Packed Stool Convenient for Travel/Hike/Wait in Line

Lightweight and easy to set up and fold after you practice a few times. Great for hikes or watching battlefield tours when you'd like to sit down. Depending on the size of your bottom, you may or may not have issues with the side metal bars digging into your buttocks.

So useful for tent camping. It’s a bedside chair and/or bedside table. It works as a duffle bag stand. Folds up with a pull and twist. It’s tall enough to be comfortable by itself. Pull it out next to your regular chair and now it’s a footrest for reclining. Final cool feature is it fits flat in a backpack and there’s no carrying case to lose or forget.

Utility folding stool that folds and is useful.

You have to decide on how much comfort you want vs. how big and heavy of a stool of chair you're willing to carry. This design leans towards the smaller and lighter, but still has decent comfort. In my case I got the biggest of the three models as I've got long legs and need the extra height. I haven't had any problems with the poles causing discomfort as others have reported. I think it would if I sat on the stool with the poles running parallel to my legs, but since I sit with the poles running side to side I don't feel anything digging into me. Maybe it's a different story depending on your size. In my case this stool work for me.Deploying the stool is easy, just unzip and let the shock corded poles fall and most of them will snap into place. Guide the one or two that didn't and make sure everything is plugged in properly before sitting down.Putting the stool away isn't so easy. When pulling apart the shock corded poles there will be one or two that will remain plugged in and you need a third hand the undo them before you can make the required 180 degree twist. I've tried oil to make the connections slicker, but it's a matter of which of the two sides will unplug first leaving the other side plugged in. I haven't found an easy way to overcome this issue. Methods to try are putting the stool on the ground upside down and holding it down with one foot and pulling apart the poles with one hand while the other hand is free to pull apart what didn't come apart. My usual method is to pull it apart by using my forearm which frees up a hand. Maybe someone will figure out a better way. You'll notice in the video this part of putting the stool away is edited out. ; )

I weigh 145#. The very 1st time I used this, the stitching snapped and I fell to the floor. I hurt my back.

I had originally complained about this product, because it arrived with severe defects. The supplier was amazing. They inquired immediately after I complained. They worked with me to get them the information that they needed (despite the obstacles that Amazon Marketplace put in our way). They took prompt action to send a replacement, and the replacement is just as described. I recommend this supplier. I am very grateful.

Cheap. The worst. Cheap metal parts that don’t fit together the way they should. Absolute garbage. Using it as a uneven footstool now.
