As mentioned in another post I have just picked one up.
I have sat on it but have yet to use it in anger.
It is certainly light. Lighter than any other chair I have owned. Whether the aluminium frame is a strong as the steel heavier ones I cannot say but if it lasts a year or two that will be OK.
It has large mud feet.
It is lower than my previous Chubb chair and at 6 foot 2 I would have preferred it a little higher but that is an acceptable compromise for the lightness for those longer walks for which it was bought.
With just about any other chair I have owned I find the back a leans a little too far backwards but I always modify my chairs to sit a little more upright anyway.
I do this by adding a shim of curved aluminium fastened by a jubilee clip where the back comes to rest against the frame.
Works a treat and doesn't compromise the structure.
Conclusion. A good light chair for carting off to those swims down the river.
