This Nestling Portable Ultralight Folding Chair Camping Chair for Outdoor, Camping, Picnic, Fishing, Hiking and More (Orange) is great! Nice quality! easy to use! easy to assemble! Good value for money
Absolutely love these chairs. Very light and compact, fast to assemble and packs away easily. They fit perfectly in my backpack. It is quite low but this can be an advantage in a lot of tents etc. I really like this chair. Highly recommended.
The reviewers who struggled to put it together weren’t doing it the easy way! Yes, it’s very difficult to pull the fabric across, especially to the fourth corner. But you don’t need to, as two minutes of experimenting proved.
Tip 1: Erect the structure, fit the seat fabric top corners, remove the lower poles again, fit their ends into the lower seat corners, and replace the poles into their sockets. Easy.
If I had to do it the way the YouTube videos say (stretching the fabric, bending the legs) I’d never use the chair! There’s no way I could pull hard enough to get the fourth corner on.
Tip 2: To avoid losing the bag – notice it has two small loop handles, one at each end? Use the lower poles – slide one handle onto each before you fit the seat, and your bag is secure off the ground (and can even be used to store possessions). Or just slip a handle over an upper pole while assembling. Or use the elastic tie and attach it under the seat. Just don’t separate it from the chair!
Tip 3. To carry it hands-free as a messenger-style bag, attach one end of a dog lead to each handle to form a closed loop you can throw over your shoulder. Having a spare lead is always good – you never know when a lost dog will find you, and anyway a lead can be used for all sorts of jobs.
Tip 4: (Last one is the best) : Use the chair as a lightweight and portable elevated DOG BED (that’s what I bought it for). The fabric is square. That means you can fit the seat ‘upside down’, which gives you a decent-sized flat platform instead of a seat. The mesh back becomes the dog’s seat, so you’ll need a fleece or cushion on that.
My service dog doesn’t like to be on the floor in public places in case his tail is trodden on, and he took to this straight away. Suits a medium sized dog, eg a cocker spaniel, or springer spaniel max size. Be aware that fitting the seat upside down changes the centre of gravity, so there’s a slightly higher chance of the structure tipping over backwards if your dog gets right to the back – this happened during trials but my dog wasn’t bothered, it’s only a short way off the ground.
I will keep this in my backpack for daily use for my working dog, and also use it as a dog bed when caravanning. I may sit on it myself at times!
It’s not quite ultralight but it’s comparatively light and very compact, especially compared with the popular army-style camp chair I’ve been using for my dog, and he can’t fall out of the sides of this one. It’s reasonably quick to erect (2 mins?), packs away easily into the roomy bag, is comfortable to relax in, and although low it’s easy to use. And having tested it with a generously sized person (100 kg) who normally has difficulty rising, it proved surprisingly easy for them to stand up from.
This product is a cheap copy of the award-winning Helinox Chair One (2012). Overall, I’m very pleased with the quality, strength, finish, function and looks. It was excellent value for money at just over 20.
(It was worth paying an extra 70p (lol) for the black with red trim, but that was only because red and black matches my service dog’s harness.) 😀
Whilst this can hold your weight getting up from it is very difficult and it’s very small and low.
However it’s very lightweight – maybe better for a smaller adul
Compact, easy to put together but last corner needs a good stretch to get it on. Only 11st so I fit nicely and supported. Very happy with my purchase
I wouldn’t say this is ultralight, certainly not something you would want to take hiking with you but great for other purposes. Putting it together is pretty straightforward but as there are so many bits to put together it does take a moment or two. Once it’s all together I found it to be really quite comfortable and has a pocket that probably would hold a beer can.
Taking it down and putting it in the bag is ok and there is an elastic strap that goes around everything once it’s disassembled. Roll it up in the seat and then put it in the bag.
Pretty happy with it, the only thing it lacks is a headrest but then that would make the package bigger and heavier.
When I first seen this I thought it was going to be very flimsy and a total pain to build but I was very pleasantly surprised. It comes in a nice little bag and all the poles are held together by elastic cord which makes it really easy to set up. Held my weight while heavily pregnant too plus was rather comfy. Was also really easy to take back down and got back into the little bag. The hardest part was getting the fabric on and that wasn’t actually too bad either. Definitely would be perfect for taking with you camping or on a hike
Honestly for just over 20 I wasn’t expecting that much from this, but it is much better than I anticipated. The whole chair comes packed into a tiny little bag, just a little larger than a standard 2 litre bottle. Inside the bag there is the chair cover and the chair frame.
The chair frame is made of quite light metal poles, and is really easy to put together as all the poles are connected with elastic cords, so you don’t need to figure out where they go – you just slot them together where they are tethered. Once all the poles are fixed in place, you simply hook the fabric seat onto each corner. The fabric seat is suspended a bit like a hammock so it is really quite springy and comfortable. There is even a little pocket hanging from the side to keep a book or phone etc.
It isn’t too difficult to take apart and get back into the carry bag either, it is quite straightforward and it isn’t a tight fit so you don’t need to pack it down exactly right and squeeze it in like a sleeping bag. It took me maybe 5 minutes at most.
The only negative is that that the chair is a little narrow and low to the ground. If you’re very heavy or wide, I imagine the frame may dig into your leg a little after a while, and takes a little effort to stand up from such a low squat, but my partner (5’7, 75kg) and I (5’4, 68kg) both find it quite comfortable to sit in for a few hours.
I’m really happy with it, it’s so compact it is easy to carry on you for taking a break while hiking, camping, fishing, picnics, or even just to sit in the garden if you don’t have a lot of storage for a proper deck chair!
This camping chair folds really nicely into a neat bag that makes it perfect for backpacking with. You have to do some self build when you get it out, simply slot the attached poles into their holes. It is quite small, and low down to the floor, an adult can sit in it but it isn’t as comfortable as the higher chairs. It does feel fairly sturdy but it can be a pain building it every time.
It’s perfect for hiking & wild camping as It packs up really small compared to other seats & is pretty light weight. And they are comfy too, you get good support for your back. The chairs made a difference to our family holiday, both adults and kids.
If like me you enjoy camping or touring and enjoy a little added comfort, but like to travel relatively light, this Uktralight folding chair from Nestling is just the thing.
It’s both compact and lightweight without feeling flimsy and it’s nicely finished overall. It’s easy to erect and just as easy to fold down and pack away after use. I find it to be relatively comfortable and have used it over the last couple of weeks while camping without issue. It would be just as useful to keep in the boot of the car or backpack for outdoor events or hiking trips etc.
In summary, it’s a great little chair at a very reasonable price and I’m more than happy to recommend it.
Thanks for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.
All the bes
A lightweight chair for camping and picnics etc. It comes in a zip up carry bag. You do need to put the legs together and put the material over the poles which cam be a bit awkward. I thought it looked rather small but it’s actually very comfy to sit on. It is a low seat so some people may struggle to get back up. Hardly takes up any room when folded up, ideal if you’re limited for space. The material is thin yet durable and also breathable, great for warmer days.
I was a bit dubious because of the negative reviews, but this is exactly what I was expecting. I bought it because a friend of mine has a similar brand, so I guess I wasn’t surprised that it’s low to the ground. Assembly was easy, it is a bit tricky to get the last pole in the seat fabric but I didn’t struggle as much as others seem to.
It feels very sturdy! I will say that it’s fairly heavy, if you’re thinking of using this for ultralight backpacking then you might want to spend some more money on a lighter version.
This portable light weight camping chair is excellent for outdoor camping. The chair frame folds down really easily and is very light weight. The chair is durable and rugged a can be setup almost anywhere even on mostly uneven ground it still manages to stand tall. The design allows it to be folded and put into its carry case you can even fit it into your bag. It’s also incredibly comfortable to sit on providing excellent support I would recommend it.
I wasn’t too optimistic when I started assembling this as the legs are pretty thin and it basically looks like it’s made for a small child. However, upon completing the assembly, I sat in it, slowly at first then as a normal speed and to my surprise it held up perfectly fine.
I’ve now been using this as an outdoor relaxing chair for a week and half and here it goes, still all together and no sign of weakness.
When folded up, this chair takes up only a small amount of room and weighs next to nothing so it’s ideal for backpacking or camping trips.
I don’t know whether I would say this is the perfect camping chair but it’s by far the best I’ve used up to this point.
Putting away is easy too, you just have to pull the seat part off of its slots on the top and bottom sides and the legs come in half, held on with elastic so they all slot easily back into their original places and it’s more or less impossible to get it mixed up. This then has a pouch to store it in.
I’m happy with it and definitely recommend.
It is lightweight, easy to carry, sturdy, just perfect for my needs.
There are several good features about this chair:
Folds up very small – I’ve not come across a chair that packs into such a small bundle
Fairly quick and easy to assemble (the poles especially)
Sturdy and pretty comfortable (I’m 5ft 9 and 70kg – see photo of me sat on it)
Comes in a canvas storage bag
A couple of downsides:
It’s slightly tricky to fit the chair cover over the poles – you need good dexterity and strength in your fingers. I managed it quite easily but I could see some people struggling with it
It’s marketed as ‘ultralight’. Whilst it packs up small, it still weighs 1.5kg, which while relatively light isn’t what I’d call ultraligh
The alloy frame has elastic running through each part keeping it all in position and making it easy to put together.
The seat material has reinforced corners for each of the rods to slot into.
I found by leaving one rod section loose I was able to get all four corners slotted into the fabric quite effortlessly.
When disassembled there is a length of elastic that holds the frame sections together so that it fits neatly back into the storage bag.
The bag has small handles but is still quite heavy.
Despite being a compact size I wonder if a shoulder strap might have been better?
Unusual shaped seating.
Easy vehicle storage.
I’m keeping mine in the boot for occasional use.
This is a good little camping chair, it comes in a small bag and is pretty easy to put together.
The corners have a rubberised hold which adds strength.
The elastic to hold the legs shut is quite annoying to put away but once built it is quite comfy if you have a small bu
I’m used to carrying one of those tall camping chairs with me, this is quite a handy little package to have which is far easier to carry and lightweight in comparison.
It is very low to the ground and to be comfortable you need to be quite slim. My son, in the photo, isn’t large but he found his thighs were at the very edge of the comfy section. When I tried it, I could feel the metal – which wasn’t too bad but may become uncomfortable after lengthy use.
Overall – if you’re slim and looking for something lightweight to put in a rucksack – this is ideal.
Delivered in a plain cardboard box
Inside the box sits a rectangular canvas zip up carry bag .
Inside the portable chair which consists of the fabric ( this slides onto the frame ) the frame is really easy to set up it works like a folding walking cane where there is an elastic inside that springs into position when the poles are inset into the next .
It’s surprisingly comfortable to sit in. Perfect for nightfishing
Priced just under 22 also well priced .
This is my second chair of this type, though this one is from a different brand; there’s not much price difference and both come in a carry pouch.
The chair legs are held together by a system of elasticated cord and poles that snap into place and hold firm, and yet once you no longer need the chair, you just pull and push and the chair collapses and folds down. This will seat 6ft tall son comfortably enough that he can recline and feel supported. For me, at 5ft 2 inches, it feels like I’m in one of those papasan chairs and it’s comfy and secure.
Great items to have, especially as storage takes no space at all and you can carry these anywhere (though they’re not that light, if you’re trekking and don’t have a cart or bike). You can’t really leave these out assembled for the next time (not that they’d fly away, due to the weight), unless you have quite a lot of space – they can’t be hung from a hook easily, as they fan out like an umbrella!
