Nexos Trading pack of two, 40 cm seat height, 15 mm steel tube vs CALIYO 120 kg stated, steel frame, 600D polyester, 2.5 kg

Same steel, same 600D, same stated load — and only one of the two tells you how high the seat sits.

By

On the headline figures these two are the same chair: steel tube, 600D polyester, a stated 120 kg. The separation is in what gets published underneath. Nexos gives a 40 cm seat height and a 15 mm tube — the only seat height in nine chairs reviewed here, and the only tube diameter — while CALIYO gives the folded length that Nexos leaves out. Note that the Nexos reference is sold as a pack of two, so the weight in the table is per chair and the two products are not the same purchase.

Each tick belongs to its own line and nothing more. The row of ticks is not a score: the two verdicts underneath settle the page, because these two answer different questions on the trail.

Which one, for whom

Buy the Nexos Trading pack of two, 40 cm seat height, 15 mm steel tube

The listing that answers the question people actually ask: 40 cm to the seat, on a 53 × 45 cm seat area, with a 15 mm tube named. Nothing else in this hub publishes either. It comes as a pack of two at about 2 kg per chair, which makes it a different purchase from a single chair — and it publishes no folded length at all, so the boot space is guesswork.

Buy the CALIYO 120 kg stated, steel frame, 600D polyester, 2.5 kg

The one to choose when the chair has to slide down the side of a full boot: 80 × 10 cm folded is published, and the Nexos listing gives no folded figure. It is 0.5 kg heavier on the published figures, names stainless steel screws in a steel frame, and puts a mesh pocket where the Nexos puts a holder in the armrest.

What people ask before buying

Both state 120 kg. Does that make them equivalent?

It makes the published claims equivalent, and nothing more. Neither listing says how the figure was established or how the load was applied, and seven of the nine chairs reviewed here publish a load figure the same way. The line is a draw because both makers printed the same number.

Is the Nexos really a pack of two?

Yes, and it changes what you are comparing. The listing publishes about 2 kg per chair and a single 40 cm seat height for a product supplied as two chairs, so the CALIYO is a single chair against a pair. That is a difference of purchase, not of specification, and it should decide as much as the table does.

Why does the seat height matter more than the rest?

Because it is the one dimension you feel every time you sit down, and it is the one this shelf almost never publishes. Eight of the nine chairs reviewed here give overall dimensions with no seat figure among them. The Nexos is the exception, at 40 cm.

The full reviews

  • Camping chairs

    Nexos Trading pack of two, 40 cm seat height, 15 mm steel tube

    Folding camp chairs, pack of two · 120 kg stated · 40 cm seat height · 53 × 45 cm seat · 15 mm steel tube · 600D polyester · about 2 kg per chair

    Sold as a pair, and the only listing in this hub that publishes both a seat height and a tube diameter — the two figures the rest of the shelf leaves to guesswork.

    Best for: Two people at one pitch who want a published seat height and a published tube section rather than a colour and an adjective.

    CALIYO 120 kg stated, steel frame, 600D polyester, 2.5 kg

    Folding camp chair · 120 kg stated · 80 × 50 × 50 cm · folds to 80 × 10 cm · 2.5 kg · 600D polyester on steel · four anti-slip pads

    A steel-framed folding chair that publishes a load figure, a fabric denier and a packed size, and still never says how high the seat sits.

    Best for: A campsite or bank-side chair bought on published numbers rather than on adjectives, where the seat height can be checked in a shop first.
