This is the best portable chair out there. It has a rigid frame, so you are not sitting in a "hammock". It's comfortable and light weight for carrying it to events. Liked ours so well, bought this one as a gift for my brother. There are 4 other "knock offs" of this chair out there that are cheaper, but not as good. Down side: Put your name on it so it doesn't walk off, everyone that sits in it wants it!
