The stool is nice looking and it feels sturdy and pretty lightweight. It is compact, and easily opens up as a chair and easily folds back up for storage or transporting. It comes fully assembled and is packed well so it arrived in perfect condition. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five stars is because it is advertised as a “backpack“ chair and it is not. It has a handle for carrying it, but the handle is way too short to even use it as a shoulder strap, so all you can do is carry it with the strap. I really wanted to use it as a backpack chair so I am disappointed.
