The Tommy Bahama Backpack Beach Chair is pretty popular, especially if you're after something that's both stylish and practical. From what the manufacturer says, the chair can hold up to 300 pounds, thanks to its sturdy aluminum frame, which is also rust-resistant.
The chair is light—around 8 pounds—so it's easy to carry around with the padded backpack straps. It's got a polyester seat that stands up well against outdoor elements, making it a nice pick for beach outings.
When it's open, the chair measures 24 inches deep, 25 inches wide, and 30 inches high. When folded, it compresses down to 4 inches deep, 25 inches wide, and 27.25 inches high, which is handy for storage.
However, according to our research, a few people have noted that while it supports up to 300 pounds, it might be a better fit for folks with smaller frames. Some find it more comfortable for kids or smaller adults due to its dimensions.
A handful of people have also mentioned that over time, especially with constant exposure to things like saltwater, there could be some issues with the frame getting damaged. So that's something to consider if you plan on using it a lot at the beach.
In general, though, it's got some nice extra features like the built-in cooler, storage pouch, towel bar, and cup holder, making it a decent choice if you're heading outdoors.
