GCI Outdoor Pico Arm Chair, Folding Director's Chair with Carry Bag

So... It is 'challenging' to open and close, but only at first. A little practice and it is a breeze. Trickiest bit is opening. Follow the directions and be sure you pull it all the way up before you spread it apart. Keep upward tension so the telescoping legs don't slide back down. You can't spread the seat if the legs aren't fully extended. Even with this I think they are easier to operate than the standard folding camp chairs and much easier to put in the bag. Comfort - That is such a personal thing it is hard to say for everyone. But do be advised that the seat height is fairly low so not great for anyone over about 6 feet or who has problems rising. No real place to rest your arms so that could be a negative if that is important to you.

I use mine for canoe camping, and van traveling. The carry case is excellent for camping, but otherwise a nuisance. The chair itself is very comfortable, and is roomy enough for me. There is a bit of a learning curve to opening and closing it, but once you get it, it's fine. I held off buying this for a long time, beacuse it seems very expensive for a folding outdoor chair. That said, it offers good value given its comfort and sturdiness.

Great chair for overlanding and camping if space is at a premium, and you like a sturdy, full size and height chair. Comfortable to sit in, the setup and takedown is uncomplicated and easy. I’ve been using mine for frequent camping and overlanding trips since purchasing and have been really happy with it. I’ve gone through several less expensive chairs over the years, this one is well worth the price.

These aren’t cheap. That said all my boating friends have them and they are very comfortable and pack small. Even the big guys can sit in them and they hold up. They best part is that they fold up small and fit in a carry pouch. The pouch can be used to keep things off the ground as it hangs on the back. It’s a very clever bit of engineering. Worth $100. I let you know if it doesn’t last.

I wish I had this chair for all my son’s sporting events and Class B RV. Ridiculous compact, super comfortable, shoulder strap carry bag, under 10 lbs, (sturdy with metal arms for pushing yourself up rated for 250 lbs), and most important, my YETI fits in the cup holder!!! I previously had the GCI folding rocker camp chair, and appreciate GCI quality and attention to detail. It was my primary seating throughout 18-months of vanlife. It wasn’t practical to keep it in my car or carry distance. I think the Pico chair is well worth its hefty price tag at 109, and will be in my life for many years. This carry bag is ideal for shorter people!!! Pictured next to 17” laptop

LOVE this chair! Can't believe how comfortable it is given how small it folds up! I've had four different styles of camp chairs over the years, and this is my favorite. The only issue is sometimes it's hard/awkward to unfold because the legs must be *perfectly* extended in order for the chair to open up. Two of my friends have this chair (which is why I got it) and they struggle with the unfolding the same way I do. It's still worth it if compactness+comfort is the priority.

These chairs were highly recommended but were a huge disappointment . We bought 2 of them last August and stored them in our van last winter. I took them out to use a few weeks ago to use and one opened well and was useable but wouldn't fold up again and the other wouldn't open all the way and looked to have pry marks on it like someone had tried to fix it before. NOT COOL and of course the return time has past so I am stuck with 400 dollars worth of unusable chairs. They look nice and do fold up to a nice size to store away and are quite comfy to sit in.

We bought these to use while at car shows. First of all, they fold up into a really small size, which, for our needs, is important. They are cleverly designed and seem quite sturdy (I'm 220 lbs), providing plenty of storage. We've had a number of people come up and ask about them. While they are straight forward and easy to set up, a certain procedure must be followed. Yep, I consider these puppies are a winner.

got 2 of them. super quality. easy to store and transport

Very clever telescopic folding system. Strong and comfortable.

Adquirí la silla para emplearla ocasionalmente en un consultorio cuando se exceden las sillas fijas del lugar, por lo que requería un producto de buena calidad, sencillo de armar y almacenar; justamente esas características encontré en la silla; asimismo, se percibe tanto muy cómoda, como de resistencia suficiente para moverse sin temer romperla. El precio corresponde con la calidad del producto.

I have used this very few times, because of a pretty terrible summer here in the UK. It's not especially comfortable so be cautious of the over-enthusiastic reviews, but it is passable. So, after no more than 5 or 6 outings (in the garden and once camping), one of the telescopic legs no longer stays fixed in position when it's opened up - it just collapses when used . I am well under the maximum capacity for this thing. There does not appear to be any way to remedy this. Or, indeed, to get customer services contact details to ask for a solution. Can anyone help? Bottom line - it does not deliver. Be wary.

So I love pretty much everything about this chair. It's very compact, extremely solid, VERY comfortable, great selection of pockets and a cupholder. I was excited to get it, and couldn't believe how comfortable it was. However, it collapsed after 30 seconds. I'm way under the maximum weight, so I know it wasn't that. I sat down carefully, so it wasn't that. The pistons pulled out until they locked, and I tried it 4 more times, so I know it wasn't that. The back legs lasted 30 seconds and then retracted, and wouldn't last 1 seconds on each of the next 4 tries. I'm reasonably sure that it was just a faulty lock on the legs, and if I was going to be here long enough I would have just exchanged it. Unfortunately my plan was to use it while in Singapore and then take it home with me, if I exchanged it I wouldn't have gotten the new one back in time before I left. I really wish I could have, if it worked this would have been the best folding chair I've ever purchased.
