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.

These are awesome chairs. They have their own built in tables. They do not sag. They are built well, made of durable material and they carry the famed Coleman name and quality. They are very comfortable and so sturdy you can grip the arms and easily stand up. A simply beautiful camp chair!

I went out to the firing range with my sons. I set my coffee on the table an arms length away and began firing the AK-47. After a few shots my son stopped me as every time I fired a shot, coffee would spatter out of my coffee cup. Not just spill out, but splash in a three foot radius. I cleaned up the mess and then went home and ordered this chair.The chair is solid, comfortable and lighter than expected. It's aluminum and not steel as the description states. How heavy would this thing be if it were made of steel? It’s much easier to get up and out of than sling chairs that store in a bag. That’s good for old knees. Folding and unfolding is so easy that I want to meet and shake the hand of the engineer that designed it. The table is just as solid as the rest of the chair and my coffee has it’s own spot away from my weapons. Be aware, however, that you must remember to push in the supports beneath the table so they are straight and strong to keep the table from collapsing - like most folding tables. If you don't then once you put some weight on the table, it will fold down dumping your food, drink or whatever on to the ground.I spent more than I wanted to spend, but at least it was on sale. I got the chair I wanted and don’t regret it. Sometimes you have to pay for quality. I needed a chair for the range anyway and you can't go wrong with Coleman.

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 chair is solidly built and comfortable. The table is very useful for holding the various bits and bobs you're trying to manage when you're camping – much nicer than having to reach into a pocket for your knife, phone, or whatever.I wish the drink holder was deeper. If I put a can or bottle in there, I'm afraid that a jostle from a child or a wagging tail of a dog might knock my drink out of the holder. If you don't have to worry about that stuff, it's fine.Compared to chairs that fold into a tube-like shape and can be stuffed into a long, thin bag with a shoulder strap, this chair isn't that portable. It folds flat, so carrying it means you're carrying a folded folding chair. It's heavier than chairs made for portability (which makes it feel so sturdy when sitting) so that makes it less portable. I own both types of chairs, and I'll never choose this Coleman if I know that I'll be walking with it e.g. outdoor concerts, tailgating, lounging at the beach/river. On the other hand, I'll always choose it if I'm hanging out in the yard with my kids or anywhere I don't have to go far; it's much easier to deploy it than taking a chair out of a bag.When I'm trying to maximize storage in my car for a trip, I find its shape to be an awkward storage outlier for the back of my car or my rooftop pod. Again, I'm comparing it to the type of chair that goes into a bag, which can be jammed into whatever space you have.It's great chair for what it is, and especially if you're not the one that has to get it to where you're going.
