Petrous Jumbo Unipod Chair - Ultra Light Weight Compact Technical Collapsible Stool - Perfect for Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Mountaineering

This is a really neat idea and a great product! It definitely feels nice and sturdy and it's really lightweight! It's surprisingly more comfortable than I imagined.. My issue is the amount of time it takes to put together. I was somehow under the impression it'd be something easy to just whip out and be seated within a reasonable amount of time (that was my error though). It also involves a bit of strength and maneuvering on the floor or a counter to get it properly opened. The carry bag is also a great feature, even though it is cumbersome to use. I am able to adapt to though, so I do still use it- just not like I intended. Please don't buy this for your elderly Grandma; this requires balance and at least some leg strength! I would also love to see it in more colors!

Very happy with this purchase. Was a little concerned after I first received it; the first time I sat on it in my living room, I felt like I had to struggle to keep my balance. But when I used it trail-side on my lunch break during a 5-hour hike, the seat felt stable and I didn't have to work at all to stay upright. This chair sits much higher than most lightweight tripod style stools, creating less stress on my sore knees. (For reference, I'm 5'11" and around 225 lbs.) It folds up nice and small, doesn't take up a lot of room in my pack. And it's light!

*edit, my original 5* review was for a unileg chair that was discontinued. I still love and use the item but I'm changing my review to 1* because they changed products on the listing and that's deceitful.It just delivered today. I already assembled it and this chair is amazing. I'm looking forward to trying it at Disney this year. At the tallest setting, I can eat at my dinner table with ease even though I have no intentions to do so

It took my multiple attempts and one fall on my butt to finally get it put together the first time. It's not easy assembly and I imagine it will continue to be a pain. This makes it less convenient for me to use this if I'm going to have to struggle every time. Makes me less excited to use it. I will say I like how compact it folds up and the price was reasonable.

I really didn't know what to expect when I bought this chair, but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. I bought this primarily for backpacking purposes, but I haven't gotten to use it in that context yet. So far I have used it camping and for tailgating and it works really well--I will definitely bring it along on my next backpacking trip. It is easy to set up, light weight and packs down pretty small. It is surprisingly stable and sturdy and I like the ability to adjust the height (although there are only two heights to choose from). My only complaint is that it's not as comfortable as I was hoping. The seat is fairly wide towards the front and a bit rigid, so it was mostly just uncomfortable in the inner thigh area. I hope with more use it will break in a bit to become more comfortable.Update: After having used this on a few camping trips, apparently this seat is very comfortable for men and they do not have the same issues with the width of the seat. I'm a woman and the comfort is just okay and have heard the same from other women.

I really like this seat even if it looks kind of silly. Lightweight, compact. Good, quick relief for sciatica or periformis problems. You figure out quickly assembly and balancing. Don't think it'll break by having to push down so hard to lock legs in place. There's enough "give" that it doesn't break or tear through the seat corners, which are very heavily reinforced.

Came bent. Appeared to have been used or already returned and it was sent back out to me. Shameful.

a little harder to balance than i had anticipated. also a little difficult to assemble.
