I bought this chair intending to use it for outdoor concerts, picnics, etc and chose this model because of the armrests. While I can't comment on its long term durability having just received it today, I will say that for comfort, practicality, portability and appearance it meets all of my expectations.

The different adjustable positions are a definite plus and folding/unfolding it is actually very simple. The instructions are in fact on the paperboard insert but folding it is intuitive and flattening it simply requires you to fold it all the way in and then back to flat.

The cushion is well padded and there are zippers that allow you to access the padding. I don't intend to mess with this unless I need to at some point down the road but I like that there is an easy way to get to it. I can personally see sitting in this chair for long periods of time and being quite comfortable.
