Those are the same as the one I just ordered, only cheaper due to the blemishes.

I do know though that my coworker and his wife are very happy with them.

Hey

Norshor,

The approximate size of the chair bag is approx: 7" thick x 10 1/2" wide x 42" Long. the chair has a slight arch to the bag so width and thickness is approximate. I'm 5' 11" and 275lbs and it fits good with nice hight in the backrest.

Thanks Pete. I am trying to find out if they will fit in my roof basket. Gotta grab the tape measure.

My Cabelas lounger came today, it is HUGE.
May have trouble packing it for a trip :D

But...it is so comfortable.
I set it up in the living room today after work, and I watched Lost in it, very relaxing.

I have this one an really like it. I almost bought the telescoping model but convinced my self that it didn't look as durable side by side. This chair is easy to get out of, you don't feel like you ae sitting in a hole when you stand up

Received my MAC chairs from Sportsmans Guide yesterday. Very light. Kinda of bulky, but to be expected from this type of folding chair.
Set them up in the living room. Pretty comfortable. NIce seat height(for me)and lets you sit in an upright position, no slouch or sinking feeling. Took them out by the firepit in the yard to check on stabiliy. Didin't feel like I was going to fall over when on the lawn. I get a real situation feeling next weekend while clamping in Sonora. No drink holder, only draw-back.
Not bad for 25 bucks.

I spent quite a bit of time loking into camping chairs lasgt month... internet searching, forum boards and opinions, etc... then I went about MMM-testing many different options. I have reasonably wide shoulders and have 2 different types of chairs already that both bite me just inside the shoulders after a while. The Big Bubbas were comfy - and have the optional foot rest - but I ready more negative reviews than positive ones - mainly dealing with durability. After appropriate MMM-testing I finally boiled it doen to the Kelty Basecamp Deluxe Lounge Chair and the REI Recliner. Both have near identical frames and features, both fit the same, both have the identical adjustments with 3 position reclining feature - basically the same chair. The MMM-testing rated them identical.

The Kelty has better cup holders, as well as side pockets hanging off the seat fabric. The REI uses it's bag to create a lumbar support that actually works - though it is not too thick.

The Kelty won out on the features... but if it had a problem how long would it take for warranty repair or replacement? After much deliberation I went with the REI for no other reason that how well they back their products - and I live relatively close to their store.

I am in the market for a few new chairs.
I have an old one that is a "copy" of a very famous RV chair, and the name escapes me, but they were popular back in the early 90s


I think the name is Zip Dee. Nicely made chair.

You hit the nail on the head :D
That is it.
I will have to see if they are still in business.

When I bought those two copies at Camping World long ago, they were about 1/2 the price I think, but very well built.
My only one I have left now still looks new after all of these years.

You just do not see this design much anymore, and they really do not take up much space since they fold flat.

My, Zips on Ebay are getting a high price.

But after seeing one again, it is pretty much identical to my blue copy in this thread.

Wow, over $100.

After seeing them again, there really is no difference between them and my the copy I bought at Camping World long ago.
