This chair is extremely comfortable and one of the most unique I've ever found in camp chairs. I would NOT recommend leaving it outside in the weather due to the padding and even the fabric of the chair. At this price, you'll want to keep it either inside a tent or RV, or at the very least inside a screened gazebo of some sort. This chair is well padded, quite wide/roomy, soft, and well constructed. We were very pleased with this purchase, especially at our club member's price. Nothing like this to be found on almost any other site including ebay and believe me, we've looked!!
