Coleman Portable Aluminum Camp Chair with Side Table & Cup Holder, Lightweight Folding Chair for Outdoor Seating

This review is for the aluminum version of the Coleman camp chair with side table, which is lighter, more expensive, and has a lower weight capacity than the steel version.I'm too old for those camp chairs that fold up to fit in a canvas bag. I just don't find them comfortable any more. This looked promising and it has delivered far more even than I'd hoped. It is sturdy, and doesn't wobble around. It is relatively easy to deploy, though it takes a bit of effort to snap it in place against the tension of the fabric. This tension helps to keep the chair rigid. It is really comfortable and remarkably light. The side table is perfectly functional.I bought two of these and one of the steel version. They have the same features and work the same way. Both versions are comfortable to sit in. However the steel one is 4 or so lbs heavier than the aluminum (this) version. It also has a higher weight capacity. I would not have thought that 4 or so lbs would make much of a difference in loading and carrying a chair, but it does to me.The aluminum one is about $20 more expensive and has a considerably lower weight capacity, but it is worth it.

Fabulous price and very easy to carry set up and comfortable to sit in for a while. My previous chair was more of a deep seat and reclined back, fairly comfortable but this design factored in making it more difficult to stand up again- sort of like a soft low sofa with squishy arms(except one tiny place to use fr support)This chair is a vast improvement- I can sit and stand gracefully and safely, much lighter to carry from the parking area, wider for comfort, supportive back and seat(instead of falling into and sinking into that low bottom with no support). The arms are sturdy, the entire length making it so much easier to stand or lift up slightly to move the chair. A strip of from padding makes it comfortable to rest on the chair arms as well when seated.Oh- THE TRAY!!! I am so happy with the tray as I always have a commuter cup os water or coffee and I have been known to spill them when getting up or sitting in the previous style chair, which can tip and spill the cup even in the cup holder on the arms. I have had my mug/cup in the cup holder on the tray and have not had that happen with this chairYAY, clean clothes! Many times we eat lunch at the site, or get together and grill dinner. I dislike eating from a paper plate balance in m lap and this is the perfect solution to be able to place the plate on the tray.The whole chair folds up easily and even has a carrying strap if you want to use it, though it is just as easy to hold the arm and carry it that way. I can add it to the pile of pens crates and table in my cargo area and it first very nicely.

This is a high quality chair. It is not heavy to carry. Easy to fold down when not using. I like the side tray you can use for a drink or other items.

Coleman Deck Chair With Table.This folding chair is lightweight and easy to open and close. The chair has an open height of 31"H, closed height of 30 1/2"H, and a seat height of about 17"W. With use, the front edge of the fabric may stretch out and droop a bit to 16 3/4"H or possibly a little less than that. The overall seating width between the arms is 20 3/4". The closed width of the chair is about 6"W. The open width of the chair with the table folded is 24 3/8"W. The overall width of the chair with the table open is 34 1/2"W. A tiny drop of oil on each of the hinge points will make it easier to open and close, being careful not to drip oil onto the fabric, but the table hinges may still require a little manual encouragement to lock open. The silver painted flat tube construction is heavy aluminum that will not tear through like the usual cheap interwoven-seat folding chairs with round tubes that are sold in drugstores. The folding table has a cup holder with a cutout for a coffee cup handle. The padded sack style cloth seat is comfortable, as is the padded back rest. The chair arms have wrap-around pads for comfort. The weight of the chair is seven pounds, making it a bit of a bulky and heavy nuisance to carry around for a few hours on a fair grounds or golf course, but it is great for long term use like watching a parade or just reading in the yard. The weight limit is listed as 225 pounds, but it holds my 280 pounds without a problem. The only problem I have had, is with one of the black plastic end caps falling off. I solved this by using silicone glue to glue all four of the end caps in place. I bought another one of these chairs two years ago, and other than the color of the fabric, the only difference I can see is that the metal on the old chair was not painted, just bare aluminum. This chair is very well made and should last you for years, provided that you don't leave it outside permanently, where the table top and fabric could rot away, or your family members don't borrow it and either leave it someplace, or just forget to return it. Use a permanent marker to put your name or initials on it, someplace where it is visible when the chair is either open or closed.
