This review is from: Coleman Camping Oversized Quad Chair with Cooler (Sports)
Simply put, this is a great fold out chair. This style of chair floods the market during the summertime and it is easy to grab a cheap one for under $10. I have found they fall apart just as quickly however, and you get what you pay for.
This Coleman chair is worth every penny – it’s comfortable, supportive, sturdy, convenient, and roomy. The cup holder is a common feature, but the cooler that is built into the left arm is unique. You could get an ice pack separately, but I have found that a handful or two of ice cubes in a small ziplock bag works just fine. The cooler is lined with the same type of plastic liner that you’d find in some child lunch bags. It comfortably fits 3 bottles with 2 small bags of ice. The side pouch with netting is good for keys, books, phone, sunblock, bugspray, or whatever else you’re carrying with you. It saves me a few trips to the cooler/car/apartment and that’s worth a few bucks in and of itself if you ask me.
It’s a bit bulkier/bigger/heavier than its cheaper counterparts, so the pack up and carrying is really the only negative I can think of.
*Update*
3+ years later it’s still holding strong. Some rust has developed around the metal grommets and legs, and the plastic inlay of the edge of the cup holder has broken off, but it’s still my go to chair for the beach, camping, the park and BBQs. I agree that I have sat in more comfortable chairs in my life, but I can spend several hours in this quite happily in front of a campfire and my expectations for a folding chair are a bit different from a recliner or lounge chair 🙂

I bought both the grey/black and the blue chairs. Both chairs are sturdy, comfortable, attractive.
But… the grey chair came with a heavy duty carrying cover made of thick, tough, durable fabric. The blue chair came with a very thin, lightweight, not-likely-to-last-very-long carrying cover.

Over the last few years, we have bought 4 Coleman Quad Chairs with Cooler and loved the chairs, they were 5 star chairs. So when one broke, we went looking for a replacement and found this. While this is a decent chair, it’s nowhere near the comfort level or the construction of the previous model. I am 5’6″ and I feel like the chair is too high for me, it cuts into the back of my legs when I sit on it. My husband is 6’1″ and doesn’t have that problem with it, so he’s using it and I’m using the older model. When we are sitting side by side in the chairs, his chair is up higher than mine. Both of us felt the chair wasn’t as good as prior models, it looks like they have tried to cut costs and put out a cheaper product. The parts are different and it doesn’t look or feel as high-quality as the Quad Chairs that they put out before this one. I contacted customer service at Coleman inquring about the changes with the chair and they sent a short, two sentence reply that wasn’t helpful at all. I’m keeping the chair, but I would not buy it again. For the price I paid for it and with the Coleman name, you’d expect better quality.

How can you go wrong when your fold out chair has a cooler in the arm?,

|Not the same as the Quad Chair,
I contacted customer service at Coleman inquring about the changes with the chair and they sent a short, two sentence reply that wasn’t helpful at all.
I’m keeping the chair, but I would not buy it again. For the price I paid for it and with the Coleman name, you’d expect better quality.
