Camping chairs

Compare its seat height with the tabletop and available legroom. A deep, reclining chair is often intended for lounging. Eating and preparing food generally work better with a more upright position at a suitable distance from the table.

An assembly chair usually has a frame inserted into its fabric seat and packs into a small bag. A folding chair can open quickly but may stay bulkier. In either case, check that all parts are properly engaged before sitting down.

A kit must suit the mat's width and construction and is used differently from a freestanding chair. Read the instructions for both before combining them, and keep the mat away from pointed stones that could damage it.

Dry damp fabric before packing and follow its care instructions. Prolonged weather exposure and strong sun can affect fabric and frame. Use a stable position and keep a suitable distance from fires and hot cooking equipment.
