Spotted a review here https://www.promobil.de/zubehoer/ca...P_JtxVfO7xDpCmE1sQ_aem_aJtwGpMVFSMw6LHLR-We2Q & thought it may be of interest for anyone considering the expensive Helinox chairs - the Decathlon Quechua MH500 https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/folding-camping-chair-mh500-grey/_/R-p-173601?mc=8492643 has the same 5 year warranty but much cheaper at £34.99 but has a lower weight limit so may be a good budget option for lighter Funsters :)

I've got an XL tall one. It's comfortable and robust. I've used it at festivals and I've even sat at it all day while working at the laptop in the awning (at a low table) without issue. The pockets are useful for putting a phone or even a small tablet in. But it is very much a camping chair. It flexes like a hammock, it's low, and there's no arm rests. And nowhere to put your beer/tea/wine! It unfolds from an incredibly small pouch... but it's a bit of a pain to squeeze back in again because all the bungee chords in the frame sections means it likes to spontaneously reassemble itself. Once we've stuffed two Bromptons, a BBQ, my wife's massive moon seat folding chair and a table, there's not a lot of room left in our outside lockers, so it's ideal for me. Probably not great if you're much over 100kg or can't bend your knees that far.
