I have no personal knowledge of this item, but do know their other products are well made and MI made too. :thumbup   (You need to Login or Register Loads of features and reasonably priced. I have looked at these in person and there are several good aspects about them. They seem very well made (tubular steel legs vs aluminum) and if your a big fella these might meet your need for a fairly compact chair that is sturdy. It also has a backrest which is an attractive feature. However, there is one drawback, and its a big one (or should we say a weighty one)......the thing weighs a ton. 3.5 lbs.....wow......that's a lot and is why I don't own one. But if your primarily a base camper or want a good seat for deer/turkey hunting these would be pretty good choice.

You think 3.5 lbs is a ton?  I carry a 5-pound GCi Quik-E-Seat and have loved it   - so far.  I just ordered the Shappell chair you linked above - thankyouverymuch - and look forward to using it.
