Got my original two uncomfortable camp chairs for $10 total on sale. Having a hard time getting used to running with the classy chair crowd.

I've got both the cheap Director's chairs (comfy but bulky) and the Kermit (setup's not too bad, once you get the hang of it).

 

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm still in search of the 'perfect' picking and grinnin chair for guitar... one with no arms (sort of a Venus d'Milo chair ; )

Tried the REI Hang Time chair, but it had a hard time staying assembled when I sat in it. The guitar chair I seek needs to have a reasonable height, be strong and have no (or real low) arms...

I love our REI Flex Lite Chairs. Small enough to take with you anywhere

Hey Gussie, you might try the Quik-Fold chair made by Adams Manufacturing (https://www.amazon.c...r/dp/B000NV0OJI).  I have four that I pack whenever I'll be camping with a bunch of musicians.  They're light, inexpensive, and moderately strong (rated for 250 lbs).   Their best attribute is that they hold you in a good upright posture that's comfortable for playing guitar (or banjo, mando, etc).   The main downside is that they don't nest together very well when folded up, so they take a fair amount of space when packed.

 

I notice that the reviews on amazon are mixed, particularly with regards to strength.  I've had mine about fifteen years and had no problems, but maybe the newer ones have changed.

Thanks for the tip, NRVhawk. After looking for a one-chair solution, maybe I'll try this one and bring a comfy arm chair too.

has anyone tried the GCI Freestyle Rocker?  A friend had one last weekend and it seemed pretty comfortable and well built.  Prices seem to be all over the place based on a quick search of the Googles $50-$70/each.

I have 4 chairs that are extremely similar without the rocking part.  Awesome design.  Extremely strong.

I've had them for 5+ years now and have used them many 100's of times.  They are just as good as day 1.

 

BTW, I'm a solid 300# and my GF is 140# and she's climbed on top/sat on my leg etc. many times.  Often, she will sit side to side and lounge and the solid design has no issue with that either.

 

If you can get one for $50, I'd say go for it.  If you don't need the rocking portion, you could get a similar style directors chair for $20.

 

Edit: BTW did you notice on your Amazon link all the reviews.  84% are 5 star.  looks like a winner to me.  That's way too many reviews to be fake.

I have the Odyssey Trek chairs which are well built, comfortable, and pack up nicely.  They are a knock-off of the Helinox Beach chairs that REI sells, but at a much more affordable price.

I have a Helinox that I like but I just got an Eno lounger that I think I'm going to really like.
