We've Owned These Chairs for Over a Year and Still Love Them!
September 4, 2017
Towards the end of last summer, my husband and I needed to get some new chairs for when we sit outside or go somewhere since our old ones were worn out. I did some searching on here and these were the first ones that stuck out to me. I've known for awhile that the Coleman brand has a good reputation and I was pretty interested in these chairs since they have a lot of features and didn't cost a ton of money. We ended up purchasing the blue chair and the black chair.
These oversized chairs are amazing and so comfortable! They are made in China of 100% polyethylene foam. The chairs measure approximately 24 inches wide when set up and 18 inches from the bottom of the legs to where the seat is. They can hold up to 325 pounds and feel very durable. My husband weighs about 350 pounds and he's sat in these with no problems although we bought him a chair that can hold a bit more weight, just in case.
Some really cool features of these chairs are: a built-in cooler that can hold 4 cans (I can fit 3 comfortably and I think you could fit one lying on top of the other cans), a mesh cup holder which holds my water bottle, and side pockets which are GREAT for books, phones, and other small accessories like keys, wallets and sunscreen. There is one big pocket and two smaller pockets. These chairs are well-cushioned and so comfortable to relax in. The seat and back are cushioned and the arm rests are wide. The product tag also says the arm heights are adjustable although I've never tried it and the frame is made of strong steel which I definitely believe. The chairs come in a bag with a strap which makes them easy to carry.
We've had these chairs for over a year and they are some of my favorite chairs that we've ever owned! I use them a lot during the summer and I've never had a problem with either of the chairs. One of the bags tore a little bit when I was putting a chair back in but that's not a huge deal to me. The tear didn't get any worse over time. Oftentimes I will sit in one chair and set up the other to use as a footrest..wow, is it so comfortable! I could sit in these chairs for hours because they are so comfortable! I don't really use the cooler as a cooler; instead, I just put my water bottle in it since it's a stainless steel one and somewhat heavy. It sticks out of the cooler but that's fine with me since I am just using it for a cup holder. I love the mesh pockets too and always stick my phone, Kindle or book in there when I'm not using them.
Overall, I'm so happy I found these chairs because they are some of the best I've found! I feel the price is great for what you get and I like that there are a few different colors to choose from. We've never had a problem with the chairs themselves (only one of the bags) and several of our family members and friends have used them too. If you are looking at purchasing these for outdoor activities, I highly recommend them! They have been a great purchase and I would buy more of them in the future if we need to get more!

Disappointed
July 17, 2018
I don't recall being as disappointed with a purchase in a long time. I've had two $5 camping chairs (NWT) that I bought at Kmart about 8 to 9 years ago. They have been through hell: camping, concerts, t-ball games, the beach, parks, etc. They're still in one piece. Looks like they'll easily last another 10 years. I vainly admit that it bothered me that they're not a better known brand. I booked a glamping trip at state park Jonathan Dickinson April 5th through the 8th, 2018. South Florida. Great weather. Flat surface, mostly grass or sand. I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade my camping chairs. I have MANY Coleman products: coolers, lights, stakes, chairs, etc. All have been 100% excellent quality. Naturally I thought these chairs would be a nice upgrade. First, I did not like the quality of the carry case they come in. I've seen better, and they didn't meet my expectation. Felt thin. Not confident it would last. Also, the pockets that the chairs bring make the chair a bit bulky, and it's a tight fit getting them in the case. They could've been a tiny bit larger. But the worst part is the picture I attached. When the 3 day glamping trip came to an end, I realized the leg was already broken/out of place. I don't think I sat on the chair for more than 3 hours in the entire trip. It was the first and only time I used the chair. I don't know if it came like that, or if it happened in the trip. The chairs were not mistreated. I almost feel like Coleman just slapped their name on an inferior product. Now they're just their taking up space. Definitely the worst product I've bought on Amazon. TERRIBLE QUALITY. Especially for a Coleman.

You would think these would be good chairs and last a long time with occasional use. Not so. The "achilles heel" of this chair is the metal arm design. When you stand up (you're sitting low because of the design), you grab the arms for support. The curved arm, from the armrest cover to just below where the seat is attached, is the weak link in this chair. It will bend and there is no way to straighten it back without the metal arm breaking. There MUST be better designed chairs out there.

Desired features, like the cooler and side pocket , do exist on this folding chair from Coleman and the features is what really made me justify the purchase.
MY REVIEW:
Upon settling into the chair, finding the perfectly comfortable spot was challenging.
I'm about 6ft and my legs stick out making my calves rest on the edge. There are two pokey plastic pieces on either side , but I think I can smooth them out with a dremmel.
There's no headrest , which is expected for folding chairs. But this has absolutely no tension in the head rest area. But it's what's I expected at this price. Just letting you know.
The arm rests seem a little high to me compared to the other camping chairs that I own (in this price range). The elbow placement on the arm rests isn't ideal but it works. I do like the placement of the hand rest. No padding though .
The cooler, cup holder, and side storage are what you would expect . I have not used the cooler very long so I don't know about mold or capacity , etc. the material throughout seems decent enough but I would have expected different from the Coleman brand . This chair will not have a long 'shelf-life'.
My advice: for the money (it was on sale $16.5), it's not a bad chair. ..Buy it (when it's on sale). It's a chair for someone who's out camping and wants to drink and needs a place to sit by his tent and campfire. And thinks everything is comfortable soon after .

Loved this chair, but like others had mentioned the 3rd time it was used it broke. The metal just snapped at seat/arm location. We've had for one year, but only used 3 times. My husband is a body builder and this was extremely comfortable for him to sit in due to his large legs. He weighs 200lbs. Really had hoped with the Coleman name it would've lasted longer.
I've attached pictures showing the chair looks new, no wear except where it came apart from the arm.

Chair looked good and was comfortable. I love the cooler in the armrest. I wish there was more I liked about the armrest... on my second use, while at the beach, I went to get up out of the chair, and I suppose I pressed to hard on the armrest, and the entire arm rest gave way, and basically snapped the chair bar. I know I am a strong guy, but that wasn't what I was expecting. I am 226 lbs, 5'10" just to give you a visual. It does hold more than my weight, which I was concerned about, I guess the armrests aren't build the same as the body of the chair. Buy this chair if you are more delicate than I am.

I bought 2 of these and one of them is defective after just 2 uses. The under side of the arm rest has a small grommet and rivet that hold the fabric to the bar and the 2nd time we used one, that came right out. It's an easy fix with a washer and screw but for chairs that are supposed to be better than off brand no name discount store chairs, this is terrible QC and build quality.
I've attached a photo where you can see the underside of the arm on the right in the photo the hole in the fabric where it should be fastened to the chair bar and for comparison, the arm on the left in the photo still properly attached.

These chairs are very nice with two exceptions. First, the rivets that hold the back stationary legs to the bases shear off (it happened to all 3 that I ordered immediately as I was setting them up). This can be fixed with a short, stubby, wide threaded taper screw. Second, there is an O-ring that allows the back of the arm rest to slide up and down the back stationary leg. This ring is supposed to stay in place once set where you want it, but after about a week, the weight of my arm began to cause the ring to slip, making the back of the arm rest way too low. I haven't found a fix for this get, but I'm working on it.
That said, even though the chairs are nice, these are two major design flaws, hence the two-star rating.

PROS: Large so someone 200+lbs can sit in it okay.
Has a nice arm wrest cooler - holds 2 full bottles of water.
Side pocket to hold phone during soccer games.
CONS: Not as comfortable as I had hoped at all. It sort of digs into my thighs a little when I sit down. Most quad chairs do though.
VERY difficult to put into the sleeve holder. We tried once, and then tossed the sleeve holder because there was no way it was worth the fight! You have to empty the cooler and the pockets every time if you wanted to put it back into the sleeve.
When you put your headback - there is not support. The back of the chair isn't stiff.
Arm wrests do not offer support either.. they sink in.
Hard to carry - bulky.
All in all, for the price I would not recommend this product to a friend. There was another chair that I was looking at that I really wish I had purchased instead. I'm going to purchase the other one, and give this one to my 10 year old son.

** Edited down to 2 stars from FIVE stars: It was still comfortable, but after using 3 or 4 times, one of the arm bars BROKE. I stood up, slightly leaning on the arms for a bit of support.. no more than any normal use... and the "steel" (aluminum?) bar just bent at the joint, and snapped. I can no longer use the chair. It looks brand new, it was cozy.. and now it's USELESS. This isn't even close to being as strong of construction as it claims. Maybe I just got a bum chair off of an assembly line with little quality control. I duno. I'm so disappointed.
I'm a big girl, and the chair I had before this did work, but I was always self conscious and a bit scared that maybe I would be highly embarrassed by it just "failing" (you know what I mean).
This is SUPER comfortable, feels incredibly sturdy, I don't fear sitting in it, and that little cooler bag is nifty. It's very well built from everything I have experienced thus far. The chair is just perfect for me.
I think you will be very happy. I looked and compared, and finally decided to listen to everyone else, and bought this. I don't regret it. If I ever do, I'll update my review, but I highly doubt I'll need to.

Arms are too short and uncomfortable with the cup holder in the wrong place. The cheap little plastic holders for the arm rests just slide down the pole and make the arm rest usless. The seat is not padded and uncomfortable where your legs hit the bars. The stitching is typical China Cheap and pulls out from the plastic gromets that hold the fabric to the bars. The arm rests are too weak to put Any weight on while getting up. The construction is more for a 200 pound person rather than the stated 325 pounder. Recommend a cushion.
UPDATE: 8/27/14
Arm rests will not stay up. Construction below standard as described by seller. Unusable low comfort design. Below standard construction quality in all areas. ITEM RETURNED.

I was excited about receiving this chair after trying to look for a comfortable one for a long time, and was really disappointed. I saw the thousands of reviews but did not bother to read them. When I got the chairs I found that they were oversized. I’m 55 165 and I was swimming in this chair. I had to put a pillow for back support. Definitely would not be able to sit in this chair for more than 30 minutes as someone that currently suffers from back pain. I decided to return it. Also the smell really bothered me (like chemicals). I did not even see there was a California prop 65 warning on these chairs.
