I have had my Strongback Elite since summer of 2015 and it may be my favorite chair. For reference I'm 6' 200 lbs.
I originally got it for camping but it quickly became the chair along with a lapdesk for my computer from which I do my work. I still take it on trips of course, and it sets up well in sand and dirt. Packs up easy and is not overly bulky or heavy.
It is starting to show visible wear, and I've had to lube the frame once or twice, but it is as comfortable and sturdy as when I got it.
I have sat in this thing for HUNDREDS of hours and I cannot recommend the Strongback Elite highly enough. It is built to last!
We love the chair. It sits higher than most so it is easier for us 85 year olds to get up and down. Very sturdy and the carry case is made well enough so it holds up to being in and our of the trunk.
We have been using Strongback chairs ever since they first came out, the lumbar support is exceptions, they last a long time. Enjoy them...
This is the most comfortable folding chair I’ve used. They are similar to Adirondack chairs in that the angle takes pressure off my lower back and pelvis injuries. I purchased the lime green chairs bc they were the only ones with mesh and I thought they would be cooler in the sun. The green is even more neon/uglier in person. I couldn’t exchange them bc of the cost of return shipping.
This is my 2nd chair but it won’t be my last. We camp a lot. Almost every weekend and 2-3 weeks out of the year. Before when I wound sit in another chair I would go in to lay down and toss and turn because my back hurt so much that I couldn’t sleep.
After doing some research I found Strongback and what a relief. No more back ache, no more tossing and turning, no more cramping muscle pain.
Ever time someone comes to my campsite and sits in it I sell another one. They are far superior to other folding chairs.
