Camping Chairs

Post by JEBar » Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:12 pm

the camping chairs we purchased 6 years ago have reached retirement age and condition .... we prefer what is known as director's chairs .... the price has more than doubled in the 9 years since we purchased our first set .... this time we purchased King Camp Folding Director's Chairs ===> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BN ... UTF8&psc=1 .... they are, without any doubt, the heaviest duty chairs we have bought .... they weigh just under 10 lbs and are rated for 300 lbs .... the biggest advantage is they fold into a small suitcase type shape that makes them easier to carry and takes up less storage space .... we tried them out tonight for the first time at our youngest grandson's T-ball game .... they aren't anywhere near broken in and I suspect that it will take some time to do so

that is a standard feature on Director's Chairs .... a feature we have come to value .... our chairs are heavily used so we have to replace them every few years

we found a 30 second video that shows how to setup and take down our new chairs .... wish I'd of watched this first, the way I was doing it ain't nowhere near that easy .. :?

OK, the steps to setup and take down the chairs shown in the video will work but they ain't nowhere near as easy as shown in the video .... a few hundred (if not thousand) times from now when the chair action is well broken in, it probably will be as easy .... :? .... the more I work with these chairs the stronger appreciation I have for just how well built they are
