Overview

Amazon Basics sells this camping chair with a mesh back, track-style arms and a cross-leg frame that folds down for the bag. It comes ready to use with no assembly.

The reason to look at it is a simple, bagged folding chair with a stated weight rating and seat measurements. The limitation is conflicting overall dimensions in the data, and no cup holder or storage pocket is listed.

Who it's for

Campers, sideline parents and anyone who wants a transportable seat for the yard or campsite can use it. Heavier users, or buyers who want accessories built in, should look at higher-rated chairs.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Ready to use, no assembly
  • Carry bag included
  • Wipe clean care
  • Alloy steel frame
Cons
  • Overall dimensions fields disagree
  • No cup holder listed
  • One recline position
  • Weight rating is moderate

Performance notes

A cross-leg frame folds the chair flat by scissoring the legs together, and the stretched polyester seat spreads weight across the frame. Mesh behind the back lets air through, and the foam fill cushions the seat.
