Big Agnes Big Six Camp Chair - Deluxe Comfort for Your Outdoor Adventures | Lightweight, Packable & Portable Camping Chair | Tall Back, Wide Seat | Easy Setup

My Scenario: 3-Day Canoe float and camping trip in the mountains. Canoe limits weight, space and storage available for camping gear. A cheap folding camp chairs from Wal-mart wasn't going to cut it.My Requirements: (Top Priorities to Mindful Considerations)1. Comfort; Majority of time was sitting around a campfire. Needed to be comfortable for a long sit.2. Heavy-Duty Construction; I'm 6'3, 270 lbs. I wanted a heavy-duty chair that wouldn't buckle under continual sitting, slouching and standing stress. Needed more than a 225 lbs capacity. I required metal legs instead of cheap fiberglass poles held together my a single screw. All poles are tethered together with heavy bungee cords for easy setup. No lost poles or missing pieces.3. Sitting Height; I have long legs. I wanted a chair that didn't make me feel like i had to fully squat up and down to sit and stand. Short height seemed to be the common denominator amongst backpacking chair reviews.4. Compact; I wanted a chair that would collapse down to fit inside a dry-bag, that would fit inside my canoe. Standard camping chairs are too bulky for this and backpacking chairs seemed too weak.5. Weight; This was not a backpacking hike excursion, so I opted for comfort over weight. Reviews stated that it rates one of the heaviest "backpacking" chairs in its category. A taller frame and metal poles wouldn't be ideal for hiking for miles, but I was just needing something small enough for a canoe bag and heavy enough to support my big butt.6. Setup; I wasn't so much concerned with the time it takes to setup a camping chair. A little bit more setup time than a standard pop and sit chair, but nothing terrible. 2-3 extra minutes to get it all fitted together. Nothing that would delay you from anything.Review:Marvelous chair! Debated whether it was worth spending $150 on a chair. Sooooo worth it. I've bought the economy stuff before and paid the price. Buy nice or buy twice! Exceeded all my requirements.- Super comfortable for a big man. Design works like a sling for your butt. High backrest relieves stress on the lower back. Just tall enough to rest your head back without it dangling off the back.- Construction was beyond solid. Aluminum material and non-crossed leg design made it super sturdy. No breakable fiberglass. Even on uneven ground, the design succeeded wonderfully. Rubber foot stoppers kept the chair legs from constantly sinking into the ground when I was seated. Each time I sat in the thing, I liked the feeling of being up off the ground. Extra back support was veeeery nice. The support holes seemed beefier then other chairs. I was worried the stitching wouldn't hold up after continual sitting and standing, but it held up like a champ.- Collapsed small enough to fit inside my canoe dry-bag, but was large enough that I could sit in comfort around a campfire. Probably not the ideal choice for hard backpacking cause of its weight, but it was light enough to use if I had too. Comfort over weight was my personal choice trade-off.- Setup was really easily and intuitive. Everything is held together with strong bungee shock cords, so there's no chance of using a wrong pole someplace. All poles snapped into place very easily. Maaaybe took a few more minutes to setup than your average camping chair, but totally worth it for how small it breaks down.

I'm an avid glamper, spending more than 50 days a year sleeping and hanging out in a tent, often just as the woods at home but also at various campsites in the Northeast. I think I enjoy setting up camp as much as I enjoy camping.This year I decided to upgrade my gear and I've searched for years for a chair that is packable for car camping, comfortable and HIGH enough off the ground that I can eat at a camp table. They make most large tables for prep, not for eating at. This one is finally high enough that I don't feel like a 5 year old at the Thanksgiving table. And it's high enough and stable enough that visitors to my campsite that are larger or have bad knees can push themselves up easily. I also have an issue with chairs that lean back so far, they seem to want to me take a nap. And many seats are slanted back and sunken at the back of the chair. The Big Six leans slightly back and has a horizontal seat that makes it comfy to read or tend to a campfire without almost getting out of the chair.But I'll admit, the selling point was the wood "cookies" (slices) on the chair. I am a woodworker and work at a forestry college so I really like the design. I think they stopped making this design but have some nice trout designs and basic colors. I just ordered the Soul Kitchen table to add to my themed summer tent at home. I live in a tiny house and it becomes my summer office and sleeping quarters during the hot weather to expand my space. Can't go wrong with Big Agnes!

They are worth the extra weight and are very comfortable.

We love how comfortable these chairs are for the Boundary Waters. Super sturdy and lightweight. They are a bit hard to put together but worth it as they are the most comfortable chair we have found.

After having a cheap chair that I broke after a few times out, I decided to splurge on this one with hopes it wouldn't break as easily. This chair is so comfy and well built. Needed to save space for a month long road trip and standard camping chairs just take up too much space. This one packs down to a great size and fits perfectly in my roof top box or inside my car platform.

Very comfortable. And packs great

If you want a chair that just pops open on its own, don't get this one. I haven't had an excuse to use it yet so don't know how frazzled I will be putting it together while everyone else is already sitting and chatting. On the other hand, it is definitely a quality chair and worth the money in that regard. It will require practice putting it together so I can get fast at it.ONE LITTLE TIP. It is hard to get the supports into the pockets (the last step) so I laid the chair on its SIDE and LEANED into it to push the legs into the pockets. That means you're going to have to lay it down in the dirt to do it. But maybe you will never have dirt - just green grass.

I Vaught this to use on wilderness trips. Got tired of the flimsy chairs that sit to close to the ground.
