I have one just like that, except mine does have a folding backrest - a Coleman I think it was

I have a folding Coleman directors type chair that I bought at a garage sale just because.
It's extremely light compared to the newer steel tubing versions, I'd guess under #5 as it sits in case.
I plan on doing some work on it this winter, going to skeletonize the tubing as much as possible and cut the legs a bit shorter too.
I figure without case and reworked it should come in at #4 or less.
For the comfort it provides, I'll cut that weight somewhere else.
Some of those uber expensive lightweight chairs look a little flimsy to me and many have the type of legs that sink into the dirt.
The Coleman has durable plastic pads that make it sturdy on any terrain. :thumbup
Why they discontinued chairs like that is hard to understand. :-?
