awesome chair. Iused this at a card table for a temporary desk working from home while recovering from back surgery. Worked fantastic. Very comfortable. Love the heightMy husband bought this because he recently broke his wrist and he needed something that set higher than his recliner so it was easier to get in and out of. This chair did just the trick. It's sturdy (he about 250 lbs) and yet lightweight He loves it. This sits higher than his recliner (which he could not get out of without help).This was the best Father's Day present for my Dad. He has bad knees so this is the perfect height for him to be able to get in and out of it himself.This chair is comfortable and easy to get up from, but the cup holder table is not the quality that should be. It disintegrated after getting wet. It is made of cardboard made to look like plastic. Other than that quite sturdy.As a bigger gal with uncooperative knees, I needed a chair I could just slide on and off. This chair fits the bill. It is so sturdy but not padded otherwise it would have had 5 stars for comfort! It does not open or close up easily but with repeated opening it is supposed to loosen up. It is lighter in weight than other chairs I have and the price was right!Great sturdy chair! Comfortable at son's football games now!First... know this is HEAVY. about 25 lbs. But... if you want sturdy for a 300lb guy, and bar height for us long legged folk.... you have to accept the tradeoff of high weight to make it work. It doesn't fold down as small as a bag chair.... It will take up more room in your trunk or bed of truck. Easy to use, I really like it. Happy with purchase, have had out 5 times so far.Bought this for my husband who has bad knees. He has no problem getting up from this chair. It is sturdy and comfortable. Definitely worth it.
