Seat height, not packed weight, decides who can stand up again · review
The only chair here with a cooler built into the armrest, on a steel quad frame at an 18.1-inch seat height — and the heaviest chair in this group for the lowest stated load.
A portable camping chair with a four-can cooler, a cushioned seat and back, side pockets, a cup holder and a carry bag.
Coleman states a built-in four-can cooler in the armrest; a mesh cup holder; a fully cushioned seat and back; side pockets; a strong steel frame; adjustable arm heights; a roomy 24-inch seat; a sitting height of 18.1 inches; support up to 325 lbs; and a carry bag included.
No denier. No tube diameter. No foot design. No packed length.
The inversion this group publishes without naming it.
Coleman: about 8.3 pounds of chair, rated 325. MOON LENCE: 2.7 pounds, rated 330. Canpsky: 4.4 pounds, rated 400.
The heaviest chair carries the least, and the lightest carries more. The introduction above opens on exactly that — the packed weight everyone shops on is not the number that decides a chair — and the three listings here make the point between them.
What the weight buys on this one is a steel quad frame, a cooler and two layers of cushion. That is comfort, not capacity.
Dining height, published.
This shelf’s introduction measures seat height from the ground to the front edge of the seat, and sets out the trade: a low chair packs small and sits you in the smoke with your knees above your hips; a dining-height chair weighs more, works at a table, and lets you stand up without using your hands.
Forty-six centimeters is the second of those. Two of the three chairs here publish the figure; the third publishes three open dimensions and none of them is the seat.
And the weight that comes with it.
A cooler in an armrest is mass carried whether it is full or not, and it rules out a stuff sack. On a chair that already weighs 8.3 pounds and travels in a boot, that is a smaller change than it would be on a backpacking chair.
The adjustable arm heights are the other thing nothing else here has.
The cloth, undescribed.
This shelf’s introduction names 600D and 1000D polyester as the grades this catalog is built from, and says the higher figure resists the grit and gravel that eventually cut a seat.
“Fully cushioned” is about the feel. The two other chairs in this group publish 900D and 600D.
Coleman’s instructions carry the assembly and the load rating. Nothing here replaces them, and nothing on this page describes any product as safe.
The American Amazon store was listing it at about $40 at the time of writing.

It is the lowest of the three American chairs in this group, and that is the finding worth carrying away. This shelf's introduction calls the stated maximum user weight a design figure for the frame rather than a challenge, and the three listings here publish 325, 330 and 400 pounds — in rising order of load and falling order of chair weight. This is the heaviest chair of the three, at about 3.77 kilograms, and it carries the least. A steel quad frame with a cooler and cushions spends its mass on comfort rather than on load.
It makes one armrest a container for four cans, which no other chair in this group does. The practical cost is weight and bulk: the chair does not pack into a stuff sack, and the cooler is mass carried whether or not it is full. The practical gain is the one the listing claims — not getting up — and on a quad chair that is already too heavy for a backpack, adding a cooler changes the carry less than it would on a 2.7-pound chair.
Four of the ten figures this shelf compares: the fabric denier, the tube diameter, the foot design and the packed length. The denier is the one that matters most over time — this shelf's introduction says the 600D and 1000D polyester grades are what the catalog is built from, and that the higher figure resists the grit that eventually cuts a seat. "Fully cushioned" describes the feel, not the cloth. And bare tube ends sink into sand and soft grass, which is why the foot design is on the list at all.
