I originally ordered a second chair with the shade that flips up to cover from the sun, but they were out of them and sent this one instead. I was going to send it back when my roommate sat in it, and said she would like it for the beach, so we kept it. The material is very strong and supportive as the larger chair.Love how light weight it is. Also liked the height of the chair in the sand.....doesn't sink in too low. Also greaton grass....but not as high off the ground as the chair with the Shade. It doesn't have the book holder or drink holder in the arms either. Which is okay for being a small light weight chair.Would like to see a zippered pouch put on the back, and possibly a strap to carry the chair over a shoulder. Many times we just drive to the beach for a quick Ice Teabreak, or to sit in the sun for about an hour or so, and don't want to have to pack up a cooler, and another bag for that short of time. Other than that it's a great chair. The price is very good too.
The chairs are perfect for my days at the beach, great quality
