There are thousands of reasons for having a stool that is portable.
You and your normal chair do not get along. You are continually on the move and it permanently stands still. Think for a minute; you like to play golf, hunt, fish and you would also like to sit down for a while. You go to concerts, wait in ticket queues, go for a long walk, go camping and would also like to sit down for a while. You travel, or feel the effects of an injury that hasn’t healed, you carry out service work at other workplaces and would like to sit down for a while. There are thousands of reasons for having a stool that is portable.

Top Bewertung fr ein Top Produkt
Der Preis sehr angemessen,
79 fr die 65er Gre
Easy Peasy works as advertise. I am 250lbs and I can sit comfortably.
Ich verwende den Walkstool um beim Malen im Freien immer einen Sitz an der richtigen” Stelle zu haben. Dazu ist wichtig: klein zusammenzuschieben, bequeme Sitzhhe (man muss nur das fr die eigene Gre richtige Modell aussuchen) und leicht!
So kann man den Walkstool in einem kleinen Rucksack verstauen und hat beim Wandern beideHnde frei!
Very good quality product. Sturdy, light, good design, I am a heavier person with arthritis and I got the medium tall one for standing in lines and do. Just what I was looking for not cheap and heavy ones.
We spent 4 days at Star Wars Celebration. A good portion of it in lines. These chairs saved our butts, literally! Lightweight, yet durable. No problem holding my husband’s weight (he’s a bit fluffy!). These chairs will be in our con kits forever!
Teuer wie Sau, aber auch auf unebenem Gelnde unverwstlich. Leicht und klein zusammenschiebbar. Ich mchte den Stuhl nicht mehr missen.
Gut zu transportieren und auf Wanderungen und auf Reitturnieren eingesetz
Tres solide, tres utilis lors de longues visites de sites archologiques sur tous les terrains, vraiment tres pratique
While I love the telescoping legs and light weight of this stool, it’s a couple inches too tall for me, making sitting down difficult. I’m sorry I didn’t exchange it before using it because it’s a good stool just too tall.
Not too heavy and straps on your back like a backpack. Pretty cool.
Bought this to rest on during disc golf leagues and tournaments. This folds up nice and small, yet opens and extends easily. I am 6’3″ and 230 pounds. This stool is comfortable and sturdy feeling. It is a great height with the legs extended. Bought the feet webbing accessory to keep from sinking into the ground. Worth it!
My scouts are working on the hiking merit badge. The walkstool fits nicely in a day pack and was great for tired muscles during lunch and at the end of the 15 mile section. The walkstool supports my my weight without any complaints.
Exactly what I was looking for. Tall seat height and supports my 280lbs. I’ve used it ice fishing, wine tastings, hiking. Works indoors and out. You need to make sure you are on sturdy ground, but it’s a tri-pod and that should be expected.
Je suis une personne mobilit rduite et j’ai peu d’autonomie. Ce petit sige est vraiment trs bien. Il est toujours dans la voiture.
I use for wildlife photography seat. Stable, handles my weight at 240 lbs nicely. Just be sure when extending legs are locked in place before sitting down. Yes I would buy again and in fact plan on buying the next size up.
I have foot, ankle, and knee problems causing me difficulty standing for any amount of time. I took this stool on vacation and was able to participate in nature walks, tours, waiting for transportation, etc. This stool is so easy to unpack and pack that I could use it anywhere. I’m a sports coach and I’m looking forward to the flexibility this stool will give me on the field – greater movement and visibility positioning.
Absolutely a superb stool. Well made, lightweight and extremely comfortable
The only reason I gave 4 stars is I’d like to carry it (attached) to my rucksack/tripod without the included bag but the legs when shortened tend to constantly creep and end up extended which you don’t want, so it looks like I’ll have to keep it in bag whilst transporting it but other than this a tremendous stool
I like the quality of it.
My recommendation is to use 65cm/26 inches of the size, super comfortable ( I’m 5′-11″ tall).
Die Sitzhhe vorher ausprobieren/ausmessen. Die Sitzflche ist dann sehr schn breit stabil und bequem, der Stuhl steht stabil auf dem Untergrund. Hat mir sehr gut gefalle
Achet pour faire un peu de marche et ayant des soucis de dos et aux jambes pour pouvoir faire des pauses.
Dommage que l’tui de rangement ne soit pas en toile non grillag pour le rangement.
Peut-tre amliorer le confort de l’assise.
Des pieds rglables pour tre judicieux.
Bon produi
Very sturdy well-made stool that we got for my husband when we go on walks so he can rest and continue. It’s serves the purpose very well and he really likes it.
Llevo poco tiempo usndolo pero tengo que decir que es sorprendentemente cmodo ya que te obliga a mantener una postura erguida. Muy buena calidad de materiales y acabados
Ich benutze den Stuhl, wenn ich Sportereignisse verfolge und nicht ber Stunden stehen will. Zusammengefaltet passt der Stuhl in jeden Rucksack. Der Stuhl ist qualitativ hochwertig und “ertrgt” auch schwerere Personen. Die Sitzflche ist angenehm gross. Die meisten Personen werden mit einer Beinlnge von 55 cm gut zurechtkommen.Ob der Stuhl in weiches Erdreich einsinken wrde, bleibt abzuwarten.
I was looking for a stool like the Walkstool for some time. The stool is very sturdy and the telescoping legs make it easy to fit in a back pack. I also like that it comes in different sizes. I purchased the 65/26 and it’s just the right height. You’re not so low to the ground that it is difficult to stand up. This size puts you in a semi-sitting position which is comfortable.
Merci de me rembourser sur ce produit car je ne suis pas satisfait de la qualit je suis client chez vous j’ai jamais eu de soucis jusqu’ aujourd’hui
I love it, I have a disability and cannot stand for long periods. It great when waiting in lines, or waiting for a taxi or just when I am tired and need to sit for a few mins
Schner hocker.man sieht schon die Verarbeitung ist qualitt.schnell aufzubauen.leicht zum mitnehmen.stundenlang wrde ich jetzt nicht drauf sitzen.aber zum ausruhen beim wandern usw. Gut geeignet. Ein Stern Abzug der etwas hohe preis.
J’utilise ce tabouret tlescopique lorsque je photographie les matches de foot de haut niveau. Il est lger, facilement transportable. Un mousqueton au niveau des vtements ou du sac photo et le tour est jou. Il respire la qualit et la solidit et permet une assise trs confortable. Un article de quali
Ich bin sehr zufrieden, eine sehr gute Qualitt!
Punktabzug nur, da es nur eine fixe Hhe gibt eine oder zwei weitere 5cm Zwischenstufen wren super.
Naja und der Netz-Beutel nervt etwas, ein Tragegurt wre m.E. sinnvolle
Expensive but very light and comfortable. Looks like it will last so expense should justified.
Qualitt und Verarbeitung sehr gut. Ich wiege ca 88kg und bin ca 183 gro. Ich verwende den Hocker beim Fotografieren und frs Handpanspielen. Fr mich sehr bequem. Aufgrund des kleinen Packmaes ein idealer Begleiter im Rucksack.
I used one from 2012 to 2020. I flat wore it out since I used it every day to put on my shoes. It’s a very solid and durable product. This is my 2nd one. I travel OCONUS with it and it works great in a transit tent with the 18″ height for bunks. I wouldn’t travel without it.
– yes its a tad more expensive than other brands – but its top quality and made in Sweden .. highly recommended
Dont buy this for great comfort or for rock like stability. This is a very portable stool that is light and well made with an incredible weight load rating. It has no back so long sitting session will not be supported as in normal camp seats. But it requires some form ground as a sinking leg can cause you to loose balance quickly with only three legs. Kind of pricey, but I have found no real competition for it. But, I plan to get some additional ones when my budget allows these purchases as they fold up small and can be carried in a car trunk and not be in the way. I would get the walkstool comfort over the bargain version as it is buch more comfortable and has some leg options to make the seat height match you sitting posture. Long legs vs short legs.
Although I have only tried out the chair for a few hours and not able to comment on how it will stand the test of time, I am very impressed.
The stool feels very secure and you can tell it is well made. I have the 65 which is a perfect height for normal activities and I may even look at buying a lower one for hunting, etc. My only criticism is that the carrying bag is partially mesh so when you remove the chair it gets caught and not sure how long before starts to rip or give out. Would be better to have a solid material bag.
The Walkstool is the answer to the walks, and rock hunts I wanted to do with my grandchildren but didn’t do because I knew I’d need to sit and rest. Just used it on my vacation and it really opened up the possibilities to me once again. It is dependable and safe for us “big” people — I’m thrilled to own one. 5 stars plus, plus, plus.
I really wish the taller one was available, but we needed these immediately for a golf tournament. The were so convenient. Although you cant take the carry pouch into golf events, i was able to fashion a separate strap for them. We walked with them for 7+ miles each day. They are AMAZINGLY lightweight for as sturdy as they are, particularly for ground that is not 100% flat. And I am no delicate flower. They deploy in seconds (or carry them with a fashioned strap and dont deploy at all. Just pick up, and sling across your body with the legs extended). I would not sit in one of these all day, but they are the perfect rest stool for a hear-and-there need. They are way more expensive than others you might see, but i would not hesitate to recommend – you *do* get what you pay for here.
Wow! Absolutely amazing and worth every penny!
Looked through so many diferrent foldable chairs, but none looked right, reviews were rubbish, just cheap and looks it’s going to break once you sit on it.
But this one really caught my eye! You can buy this chair in many different heights, I bought one that is 45cm height, as that will go with my portable manicure table, now I will be able to use two heights of the same chair which is awesome!! One for doing manicures, another one doing pedicures.
It is lightweight, high quality, comfortable and stylish.
I bought my Walkstool Comfort 18″ in 2/2016. I used it, but not as much as when I retired in 8/2019 and then COVID hit. There were line everywhere and because of my knees I can’t stand for long periods of time. I took my stool everywhere and every time I was asked I told them the name of the product, that it was made in Sweden, the weight capacity and where I found it on line. Little did I know that not only the product was great, but so were the people associated with it?
Recently the rubber booties at that end of the legs wore out and broke apart. Probably my fault because I live in Florida and kept it in my trunk. I could not find this part and finally as a last result I sent an email to the company in Sweden. Within 24 hours Lars, the owner of the company, sent me an email letting me know why it would be quicker to deal with their US distributor and forwarded my email to them. Now a days, who does this! Turns out his US based business partner is as nice and concerned about customers as Lars. I will be getting my replacements in a few days.
If you are hesitating about buying, don’t. The product is great and the customer service is fantastic! All business is about relationships, then comes the product. I’m sold! Thank you, Lars.
Ich wurde auf diesen Hocker aufmerksam durch einen Beitrag in einem Fotoforum. Mittlerweile ein fixer auch ein fixer Bestandteil meines Wanderrucksacks, weil sehr bequem, stabil und leicht!
Mein vorheriger No-Name-Hocker zerfranste nach 2 Jahren irreparabel, daher absolute Empfehlung!
Great product, sturdy, light, simple, effective and most of all comfortable
It’s lightweight, compact, and supports my weight. It folds up in seconds and has a sturdy velco strap to keep it wrapped. I have used it 2 or 3 times for fishing on the beach. Yes, the sand can affect the ease at which the legs retract, so I just make sure I wipe off all the sand before I retract the legs. Then when I get home, I rinse it thoroughly with the garden hose. Seat dries quickly. Performs as designed and is comfortable, seems like a quality piece. I hope it lasts as long or longer than a quality beach chair.
Etant chasseur j’ai achet ce tabouret pour faire des battues et j’en suis trs content. Etant grand (1,87m) La hauteur (75cm) correspond vraiment ce que je cherchais: Cela permet d’tre trs vite debout lorsque le gibier passe en peu d’effort, et iI est confortable. Les deux petites choses qui m’auraient manques sont:
-une base pivotante pour faire tourner le trpied une fois assis. J’ai cris Walkstool pour savoir s’il comptait un jour fabriquer des trpieds base pivotante mais je n’ai pas eu de rponse de leur part (si un jour Walkstool en fabriquait j’en achterai un).
-Pouvoir rgler le trpied diffrentes hauteurs (pas exemple au niveau des diffrents points rouges pour faire rentrer les pieds dans les tubes
En bref, je suis quand mme trs content de ce trpied.
I’ve a number of stools and now have two of these (45 and a 55) and find these to be great! Light strong and comfortable to a degreenothing is perfect over 5 hours but these are the best I’ve used.
I photograph sports events a lot and have to be sitting for long periods.
j’ai opt pour le modle 55 et je pse 130Kg. achet pour la chasse, il semble trs solide mais il faut prendre l’option avec la sangle prfrable sur terrain mou. le tarif de cet ensemble reste trs lev.
Love this chair.
I take it with me while playing Disc golf and it works wonders.
As a large guy (6 foot 5, 270 pounds) I wanted a sturdy stool, and man is this it. Doesn’t even make a sound when i sit on it. Folds smooth as butter, and tucks away small. Really no complaints.
One gripe would be the feet are a pain to remove (I have to pop them on and off for storage fitment) other than that, perfect.
Not very comfortable after 20 or 30 minutes. You need to stand up and walk around for about 20 minutes before sitting back down. But, better than nothing when there is nowhere to rest your knees and back.
This stool is great! It collapses into a small form factor, making it easy for travel, whether in a backpack, carry-on, or just slung over your shoulder in the included case. This feels super solid and and comfortable. The locking mechanism on the legs feels very secure and there is no play or stress noises when in use by heavier individuals. The rubber feet keep it stable on most surfaces. 22 inch height is perfect if an 18 – 19 in chair height is normal for you. The sag in the fabric between the top of the posts and the center, works out to between 18 – 19 inches.
Stabile gute Sitzgelegenheit
Leichte und stabile Sitzgelegenheit allerdings kann man die Fe nur ausgefahren arretieren wenn man sie verkleinert rutschen Sie von allein wieder in die lange Lnge das ist etwas unpraktisch wenn man’s auf Reisen mitnimmt Und nicht immer in die beigefgte Tasche tun mchte das wre verbesserungswrdig
Ich wiege ca 90 kg und sitze auf dem Klappstuhl perfekt. Nutze es als Sitz bei der Vogelbeobachtung. Nimmt nicht viel Platz weg, ist leicht und schnell aufgebaut. Nach einigen Wochen ist der Stuhl immer noch ohne Verschleisspuren. Vorsicht ist geboten, wenn man die Beine nicht ausfhrt. Dann kann man zwar auch sitzen, in einer Art tiefen Hocke, ist aber kippelig. Dennoch: Von mir gibt eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Der ist sein Geld wert.
Although you can’t stretch out and put your feet up to take a nap, it doesn’t matter because that wasn’t it’s purpose. This is a portable, light weight and sturdy stool for hiking, camping, etc. for temporary use. Outstanding aluminum constructed stool that carries easily and provides a nice, temporary rest period.
I tried it out on the 4th of July for viewing fireworks, carrying it for a mile or so in its lightweight case. Setup takes less than a minute and gave me a comfortable resting place. Comes in a few sizes. Stows in a small space.
This is a game changer. Neuropathy and reduction of physical activity weakens what was once a very strong husband. He can now participate and both of us have more patience in long lines and at events. Got the tall 30 ” he is 6’4″. Its a lean-to stepping stool until we have arrived. He wouldn’t say it was a chair replacement.
… I carry it, got a long solid material bag from amazon (20″x6″ 11L tall), better carry-all …still lightweight.
Great stool, I know it’s expensive but honestly it’s one of the few things on Amazon I’ve bought that lived up to its price.
Some may find it a bit heavy or even bulky for a stool but it folds up nice and compact and as a bigger guy 270~ pounds it has done an amazing job when I’m out fishing. Couldn’t stand for hours so I bought this, best investment in fishing/camping gear I’ve made in a while.
Great little chair, but to be honest I wouldn’t want to spend a long length of time on it.
It’s lightweight & transportable, but, & it’s just my opinion, I’d want something a little more comfortable & sturdy if I was doing long periods in a hide.
Also, check out the different sizes & specs of which there are a few & you may find the right size that would do the trick for what you would use it for.
I’ve just had a new knee so this aids my occasional rest when walking! Very light and compact to carry.
Ordered as I cannot stand or walk for a long period of time…but wanted portable and light. No need for a cane – yet. Pay attention to the height when ordering. Will fit in a medium suitcase, or larger backpack. Very sturdy, seems to be durable, but haven’t tried it out and about yet.
Ich habe mir den Hocker gekauft, um bei lngeren Wanderungen mit dem Hund auch mal eine entspannte Pause einlegen zu knnen. ffentliche Bnke stehen nicht immer an schnen Stellen und bei einem bisher genutzten Isokissen sass man auf dem Boden unbequem niedrig.
Der Hocker ist robust, stabil und standfest, man sitzt bequem und hat zu keiner Zeit die Befrchtung zu kippen. Der Hocker ist angenehm leicht, zusammengeschoben in der mitgelieferten Tasche, oder im Rucksack gut zu tragen.
Vorab habe ich auf die Kante meines Brostuhls gesetzt und verschiedene Hhen ausprobiert.
Ich habe mich fr die 45 cm Variante entschieden, bei 174 Krpergrsse sitzt man hnlich hoch wie auf einem Standardstuhl und hat mit den Fssen bei rechtwinkelig gebeugten Knien mit den Fssen vollen Bodenkontakt, bei hheren Modellen wrde ich eher wie auf einem Barhocker sitzen.
I originally ordered the 75cm thinking taller was better but I am only 5’6″ and so 75cm stool is too tall. The 55cm stool puts the height at a normal chair height so perfect for me – returned the 75 and ordered the 55 and stool is fantastic. Very sturdy and lightweight. The only thing I would say is that the only way to sit on the seat is for one of the tripod legs between your legs which is not very elegant but fine for the purpose of sitting outside.
I’ve tried numerous chairs but most are simply too bulky. This tripod legged chair is convenient, sturdy and easy to travel with while in the field. The lower position that the show requires excellent balance but it can work even for someone with limited balance at an older age. This has been a great tool to sit in the forest while waiting for animals and birds to photograph. When you are ready to move just rebag it and throw it across your back. Beware though that the bag it comes with (nylon) begins to tear within days of use. That is a big detractor for me.
Very comfortable and lightweight stool which is easy to erect and small to carry.
This is an aluminium, light weight tripod stool with extendable legs and it is highly recommended as a quick pop up chair. I have a foot condition that prevents me from standing for long periods of time so I take this stool everywhere I go. I also use it when fishing as there are many locations without seating. This stool at 55inches in height and prevents joint pain in the legs, particularly the knees when seated and casting with a rod for a long period of time. It comes in a netted bag and shoulder strap, so really easy to carry around, plus this stool will hold a person up to 250kg and with a durable triangular seat, it’s a high quality product that is compact for hiking and camping trips or to take to concerts. A great product indeed.
I had been looking at this chair for a long time. I am happy that I bought it. The first thing you realize is that it is very well made. It is not a chair that will need to be replaced n a year. The best thing for me is the fit. I am 6’1″ with long legs. Other chairs were becoming a struggle to get out. This chair is the perfect height. I have been using it to sit and study nature. I am sure it will get lots of use for many years to come. Yes it is pricy. Buy once, not often.
I’m a big dude 5’6 260 lbs, hands down the best tri stool you can purchase. I’ve bought similar stools in the past. Nothing can compare. Most stools are rated to hold up to 250-275 lbs at 20-30 dollars. Those stools still feel flimsy to me. This version of the walkstool (walkstool 22) holds 400+ lbs. Their website shows these stools holding up a Volvo! The sturdiness of this stool is unmatched while STILL compact and lightweight! They also have different sizes. At 5’6, the 22″ model fits me just fine. They also offer accessories and replacement parts (doubt youll need them unless you really beat this stool). Mostly use it for conventions and opening day releases. The perfect “waiting in line” stool.
Had this since 2019 and wanted others to know the main advantages are this will go in a cabin size suitcase/average rucksack and light weight. The other advantage is if you’re tall. I’m average at 5’6″ so the 45″ is perfect for me. I felt some reviews that said it was uncomfortable probably got the 55″ in err.
I’ve tried 90% of other portable stools on the market atm and some are equally comfortable and definitely cheaper but will not fit into an average rucksack/or if they do are quite fiddling to assemble compared to this. The price has increased by a. 10 but it is my favourite for international travel. For normal pleinair use in London I prefer the fisherman type rucksack stool. Hope this help.
As a wildlife cameraman this is a must have bit of kit, light weight strong , and well made
PERFECT !
You can get much the same product for 1/4 of the price. But that would have smaller feet which would sink into grass, or fall off altogether. And wouldn’t have legs which slide in to a single point, making it easy for a photographer to swivel. And would probably be heavier. And wouldn’t last a lifetime.
Ich trage den Walkstool im Rucksack mit, wenn ich mit den Hund unterwegs bin. Er ist leicht, schnell auf- und abgebaut, bequem und steht im jedem Gelnde sicher (natrlich nicht am Hang). Er Ist auch fr groe Menschen, solchen mit Hftarthrose oder anderen schmerzhaften Bewegungseinschrnkungen der Beine geeignet. Bin 1,83 und kann erholsam sitzen und leicht aufstehen.
One other design issue is the feet. The rubber feet are flat on the bottom, and are not angled to fit the angle of the stool. So, when the stool is open, only a portion of the foot touches the floor. Ours are new, so we haven’t had issues yet, but it’s easy to tell that just one small area of the foot will wear out and be under stress, rather than the whole base of the foot being on the floor. This actually would have been an easy issue to avoid when the product was being designed, since it’s very obvious that the ‘feet’ don’t fit the ‘floor’. Even round ball feet would have worked better.
Mine is the 45cm high deluxe version. The height is perfect for my use wild camping though the height with the legs retracted are quite useless. If you are cooking on the ground you need a lower seat height to be comfortable and not fall over, if you have to reach for equipment of food etc the stool falls over. It will not stand up on this setting.
Considering how much these stools cost I would have expected a second set of lock pins for securing a lower position to cater for a proper dual height. I would say that they are a reasonable quality but nothing exceptional, fairly comfortable unless you’re cooking on the floor while camping. Would I buy another probably not unless they improve the design to make them more practical.
I bought this for use at my bus stops. It gets me off my feet. If the wait is long I put it near the bus stop sign or building so I can lean my back against it. I have already had difficulty pushing the red buttons in to collapse the legs all I had to do was move the red button to the middle of the hole and push the button in it would then collapse the legs. it is expensive I actually chickened out and tried to cancel the order. But it had already shipped. I am glad I could not cancel. It is solid. This will not break down with my weight. 300. 6’4″. Is now Oct 2020 I will up date if it breaks down. I need a bag that attaches to my 511 bag to carry it. Follow up. I am finding this little stool is helping keep me active. If I bite off more than I can do I can sit down and rest. Then continue. Still no sign of wear. Love it. Thinking on buying a backup. Simply because I might leave it. I don’t think I can wear it out.
I have had stools and shooting sticks that took my weight but had a feeling of fragility. This stool suits my big back-side and feels sturdy enough to let me sit comfortably now and probably for many years to be.
I like the Walkstool Comfort Camping Stool’s compact design, relatively light weight and sturdy construction. I purchased the stool after having purchased and used a budget camp stool from a big name outdoors company. Unlike the budget stool, the Walkstool telescopes down to a handy size for clipping on a belt. The option to sit on the stool without extending the legs out is an unexpected plus that I’ve used on a steep hillside to good effect. Between you sitting on the seat and balancing on the three legs as they come together and your own two feet, you in effect become a tripod.
Really good, sturdy and light weight. I Purchased the 65 Comfort model. I am 6ft1in tall and the height suits me well. Highly recommended.
I am delighted with this stool. I am a Plein air painter and this is easy to take with me in my pack. It is very portable. It is ruggedly built and very comfortable to sit on. You get what you pay for and this is really worth the investment.
Use for hides when I have several hours on my telephoto lens to take pictures of wild animals.
Very easy to carry and the pack have a string so it is possible to carry it like a back pack. You can even carry it in your belt.
Sturdy stool and the comfort, well, it is OK, but a little bit of pain using it the first time. But this will be like having used your bike a couple of times. Your behind will get used
And I trust the chair, using a “CHEEPO” and I’m always afraid the stool will break
I know it is exspensive but you get what you pay for and this certainly proves the point well made comfortable and light and the choice off different height models is great.
I bought this to sit on while drawing in locations where there were no chairs or benches to sit on. It was easy to carry, folded up into a mesh shoulder bag. It unfolds easily. I bought this model because it was guaranteed to withstand higher weights. I found the seat comfortable and the stool secure for a long period of use. It is also at a comfortable height – similar to a dining room chair, so getting up is not difficult for someone with older knees. The only drawback might be that you must push a small button on the side of each leg to push the legs back up for carrying. This button sometimes is hard to push in. That aside, I am glad I bought it.
I was hesitant to spend so much on a stool but really glad I bought this – easy to carry and very comfortable to use. The Velcro strap could catch if you leave it open – just double it back on itself and it’s fine.
This product is well made and the quality is good.
Superb comfort and construction. Yes it is an investment but you will use this for decades. My ex who is 360 lbs, 6 foot 4 inches, used his 26 inch walkstool for a trip to europe and loved it. I am 5 ft and 180 lbs and my 18 inch walkstool is supremely comfortable. I got the 22 inch because I wanted to be sitting a little higher but the 22 is a little too tall for me so I have returned it and am buying three lower legs in the 22 inch size to see if I swap out the legs on my 18 inch, it will give me that little bit more height that I want. There are only 6 pre-owned walkstools on ebay at this time which i think is a testament to how great they are.
Habe auf Empfehlung unserer Hundetrainerin den WALKSTOOL bestellt – sie hat diesen schon ber Jahre hinweg im Einsatz und ist super begeistert.
Ich habe mir den Walkstool frs Hundetraining (Seminar, Dummyarbeit..) bestellt um nicht die ganze Zeit stehen zu mssen.
Der Walkstool macht einen sehr guten Gesamteindruck: stabil, sehr gut verarbeitet. Ist mit ein paar Handgriffen schnell auf- und abzubauen. In der mitgelieferten Tragetasche kann der Stuhl sehr gut umgehngt werden. Der Stuhl ist sehr leicht.
Habe den Walkstool bisher erst ein paar Tage bei einem Hundeworkshop benutzt: Standfestigkeit auf dem Rasen: erstaunlich gut, Sitzkomfort (vier Stunden mit kleinen Unterbrechungen): wenn man die richtige Sitzposition gefunden hat, ganz gut (je nach Gespolsterung, bin schlank, da ist nicht soviel Sitzfleisch vorhanden 🙂 ).
Natrlich muss man bei den Dreibeinen etwas aufpassen, dass man nicht kippt, aber das hat man schnell herausgefunden.
Die Sitzhhe von 55 cm ist fr mich (1,78/66) perfekt sowohl zum Sitzen als auch Aufstehen.
Ich habe mir die zustzlich erhltliche Neoprenpolsterung noch bestellt und bin damit ausgesprochen zufrieden – diese wird seitlich einfach an den Stuhl eingehngt, hlt perfekt und ich sitze jetzt etwas weicher und bequemer. Die Polsterung kann beim Verstauen am Stuhl bleiben, allerdings passt dieser dann nicht mehr in die Tasche.
Fr mich ein super Stuhl fr mein Einsatzgebiet – wrde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen!
