40cm (H) Large Collapsible Camping Stool, Outdoor Folding Backpack Stool for Adults, Lightweight Portable Fishing Seat, Black

A very elegant little bundle that easily unfolds into a sturdy camp stool. Tbh it is trickier to deconstruct into its puzzle form so if you are at a demonstration in a field and it starts raining, for example, plan on taking it home in stool form (it does fold flat).

This review is for the large stool, it should be simple to assemble and disassemble, but in reality its fiddly and annoying to use. The main problem is the elastic is too long, its not tight enough to keep the poles joined during assembly or when moving the stool. As soon as you turn it over, or move it during sitting, part of the legs will detach and risk the person falling off, as I nearly did during the video! Another niggle is the pivots will not allow the legs to open up until you rotate them to the correct orientation. Finally, breaking it down is simply a job of detaching all the poles, spinning the feet 180 degrees and dumping it back into the case. However, despite the loose elastic, the poles will keep re-joining themselves so you have to use your 3rd hand (a knee) and then you have one hand to hold it apart and the other hand to free the remaining joints! If you shorten the elastic by adding a knot it does fix the falling apart issue but the other niggles remain! In use it feels fairly sturdy if you don't move it.

Dreadful. Socket is so loose that the chair falls apart when moved and collapses when people sit on it.

not easy assemble or dissemble

Neat little stool - easy too carry very compact

A great item. Folds up small and is solid! I keep it in my car if I'm in need of a stool.

Whilst easy to carry and convenient there are 2 fundamental flaws. 1) it's uncomfy to sit on for long and you need to sit with the bars in front and behind your butt, not to the sides. This makes it unstable if you lean forward or back. Very worrying near a camp fire. 2) after a few uses the elastic that holds it all together becomes weak and it doesn't hold it together so well. This means whilst sitting if you try to make small adjustments to your position there is a good chance the chair comes apart and you fall off very ungracefully in front of around 200 people. It happened to one of my kids too. I fixed it by drilling holes and bolting the legs on permanently, but that doesn't solve problem 1.
