I had been looking for one of these style of chair for a while. The others I'd seen tended to be heavier and more expensive. Or they were cheaper in both price and quality. This chair at the time of buying it, was mid range for price but well up there for quality of construction and one of the lightest to carry. Extra bonus features over the others came in the form of a swing out drink holder on one side and on the other, a little swing out gadget for holding a stemmed wine glass! Very fancy! Overall a great balance of price, quality and features.
