Still, we are fans of this model and recommend it to anyone seeking a solid camp chair. If you’re looking to find the best lawn chair, we’ve done extensive testing folding lawn chairs to find what we think works best. We bought 10 top models to test under the hot summer sun to find the most rewarding outdoor seating for a variety of uses.
Nonetheless, we love the cozy and stylish Timber Ridge Zero Gravity, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone who plans on spending hours sitting, reclining, and generally relaxing outside. Costway believes every folding lawn chairs home is versatile ── with multi-style possibilities. We embrace reinvention with the philosophy of going beyond the furniture itself. To delight our home lovers with not only space refreshing but life blooming.
The design, size, and weight is nearly identical, but the nylon fabric has been replaced with polyester. The Ozark Trail Oversized Mesh Chair from Walmart, although similar to our pick in size, was far less comfortable, with rough-feeling material that was obviously of lower quality. We later found, after six months of patio furniture sets frequent use, that the stitching along one arm had come unravelled and that the small straps holding up the back of the armrests had both ripped in half. The GCI Outdoor chair also has a pocket built into the back that can hold a phone or a book. This chair comes in green or blue and is rated to hold up to 250 pounds.
The shade canopy is worth it, though, and we recommend this chair for anyone sensitive to the sun, or any shade-seekers. Some fold flat—and the GCI chairs do so by pulling up as you naturally would on the carry strap. The advantage is the folded dimension is pretty thin (around 4 to 6 inches), but it takes up a very significant 30 x 30 inch square in your car. Carrying it on your back can also be cumbersome, which is why these chairs sometimes come with backpack style straps.
The Quik Shade MAX Shade Chair stands out with its unique canopy to provide shade. It was a little jerky to set up, but we did appreciate our own little shade that kept us from baking in the sun. The one other really unique feature we saw was the cooler in the armrest of the Coleman, which fits four 12-ounce cans and some ice.
