I have owned the Alps engineering King Kong for five years now. I have taken it hiking and camping many times. I am a large man at 6'7" 350lbs, and this is the only chair that has ever made it past a year. It's a little ragged but it's still going. I expect one of these days it's going to meet it's end, but until then I'm going to keep riding it hard. I've kept the chair outside for a large part of that time frame and it's still trucking, I can't imagine many people being harder on this chair than I. Buy with confidence.

I have four of these chairs and they are used frequently on Scout trips and social gatherings. They are built well, very solid, and comfortable. My only suggestion for improvement would be bigger cupholders to handle all the Yeti sized cups out on the market. Also, a ventilated back version for chairs primarily used in warm weather would be great.

This chair is great, heavy duty without much extra weight. Only downside, for me as a 6 footer the chair back isn't tall enough. I do, however, plan on buying a second chair.
