PORTAL Director Chairs, Foldable, Alloy Steel, Blue/Grey

Several years ago, I bought a similar folding Director's chair at Bass Pro (Cabellas) for my wife and she loves it. I tried to get one for myself but Bass Pro no longer carries it so a word search led me to this Timber Ridge chair. This chair is not a wimpy knock off; it has a very sturdy, coated, steel tube frame that will last a long time. The Bass Pro chair has a slightly bigger back rest but it makes very little difference; this is a comfortable chair and the little side table is a real blessing. Best of all, this chair goes for $40. If you note the "similar items," they're all $69 to over $100. If there's a negative to this chair, it's that folding up it is a little tricky but once you figure out the right technique, it's not a problem.

Bought two of these to keep in the car for whenever the need arises, which would nice weather during my lunch breaks for example.Pulling it out of the box is simple, comes fully assembled.At first it seemed a little stiff and uncooperative. But not for long. :)To unfold it, from the front, grab the seat by the frame on each side and push down. Helps to use your body weight.Turns out that to collapse / fold it is dead easy. See video, you can do it with one hand and one foot.The hinges of the tray were a little tricky to get moving, gotta watch your fingers for potential pinching hazards. So I put some WD-40 on them and bazinga, no problemo. :)The chair seems sturdy and of good quality. Metal frame, canvas lining (that can't be removed except for the armrest lining), plastic tray insert. I love that it's more than just a chinzy cup holder in your arm rest. This one will hold a phone, a tablet and maybe even a small laptop along with your drink.I got these for a steal as "new and used" - they appear brand new but cost under 25 bucks each. So I'm ssuming people return them because they don't know how easy it is to fold them...Time will tell how these hold up. :)

Great chairs!!! I have been looking for replacement chairs for a couple of months since my more expensive models are losing their fabric after numerous years of use. These Portal chairs are even more comfortable than the other brand AND even have a handy tray on the side which is a great bonus! Very durable and fold very thin. I am extremely pleased. I am going to add a little more padding underneath the arm covers to make them even softer but that is the only thing I would change about these chairs.

Seems to be a well built and somewhat comfortable. The main concern is it is made of steel not Aluminum so it's heavy compared to the Aluminum style. If you will be carrying chair for some distance may want to consider an Aluminum style Chair, otherwise its a good chair.Cheers

Very nice directors chair. I have been sitting in a camp chair and hate that your body sags in those so was looking for something with some heft to it that didn't make me slouch. Very pleased. Easy set up and easy fold down. LOVE the little side table with a drink holder. Light enough weight that can carry with my hands full of other stuff. Definitely would purchase again.

My young adult sons got these chairs for camping, and they like them so much that they are using them for gaming as well. Only a gamer would understand. But they’re incredibly comfortable really sturdy and the little table doesn’t move at all. They are excited to take them on a camping trip!

I liked it, will work well at campsite

After reading the reviews—most of them positive, but not all—I was not sure what to expect. The reasonable price convinced me to take a chance, and I was not disappointed. The chair arrived quickly and in good condition. As others had pointed out, it was stiff to open and close the first few times, but I followed another reviewer’s advice and used WD40 a couple of times, wiping it off carefully afterward.Another thing I had worried about was the stability of the folding side table. Worries gone! The table support bars have clicked securely into place every time.Finally, the chair is sturdy and comfortable, so I have no complaints.

Buenos materiales. Es resistente.

This was a gift and the recipient loved it.

I have a previous version from 20 years ago that is still going strong. This latest iteration has a slightly different design using thinner wall tubing. The folding tray is useful, I guess, but adds to the weight compared to the more robust older version without the tray. The padded arm rests on older version are fixed which I find preferable to the current ones. Prefer the older one over this one.

They are very sturdy, but Found them to heavy to carry

S'assoi très bien
