A solid but basic chair for casual use.
The Quechua Comfortable Folding Chair is a comfortable and easy-to-transport chair, taking up little space when folded. While it’s affordable, simple, functional, offers decent comfort and portability, it also has a few limitations that might not suit everyone, such as not being the most stable and having no drink holder.

First Impressions
The chair has a clean, minimalistic design with a basic color scheme that appeals to those looking for simplicity. Its compact, foldable nature is immediately noticeable, making it attractive for campers and outdoor enthusiasts. The build quality seems decent at first glance, with a steel frame and polyester fabric that add weight and durability, but it lacks advanced features like cup holders or proper arm rests, which are common in more expensive chairs.
Transportability
With the chair being 4.2kg, it’s not the lightest of chairs and can be a bit annoying to move around, but in saying that, it’s easy to transport once condensed down with the carry strap, which is a practical addition for quick transportation. For longer hikes, the chair can be annoying to move due to its lack of a proper carry bag.
Sitting
The chair provides adequate comfort for its price, with a moderately supportive backrest and a standard seat height at 44.5cm. It only supports up to 110kg, making it suitable for average-sized individuals, but since the backrest is almost vertical, for taller individuals, the chair can be quite uncomfortable. Despite the weight rating, the seat fabric may slightly sag after extended use. Stability can also be an issue on uneven terrain, especially on direct sand.
Final Verdict
For a simple but practical chair, the Quechua Comfortable Folding Chair is no-frills option that delivers on portability and affordability. While it may not be the most durable or feature-rich chair, it is a reliable choice for casual outings and light use. Those looking for more comfort or stability on sand may want to consider other options, but for budget-conscious buyers, this chair offers good value for money.
