A bit on the expensive side, but entirely worth it.

Really comfortable and easy to carry when compared to other outdoor seats. "Nelson" was very helpful in helping me correct my order.

Ed - thanks for leaving the review, we're so pleased to hear you love the chairs! Nelson (a real person and one of our co-founders) is also glad to have been able to help ;)

Awesome Customer Service

I purchased two chairs earlier this year and have been very satisfied. I had an issue with one of the chairs which was what I would call an out of the ordinary issue. I reached out to True Places and was contacted within approximately 90 minutes. Later that same day, a new chair was schedule to be sent to me and was shipped out the following day. A company that values customer service and stands behind that value is a rare commodity. True Places exemplifies customer service. A great chair and an OUTSTANDING company!

FAQs

The Emmett is the result of years of development to create a portable chair designed from the ground up for how we live today in the modern outdoors. In terms of design, quality, comfort, materials and features it's like nothing you've seen before.

See here for a more detailed comparison to a regular camping chair.

Check out opening and folding instructions here. 

The chair unfolds by pulling the arms down and away from each other until the arms are locked and the siderails are fully down at the front.

To fold the chair, first use the buttons on the arms to unlock the arms, and then fold the arms up and towards each other.

The weight capacity of the True Places Emmett Portable Chair is 300 pounds.

We designed the Emmett as a real piece of furniture and to be comfortable for most people from 5'1" to 7'1". Note: the seat is a regular chair width, not an extra-wide seat. If you are looking for an extra-wide seat this may not be the ideal chair for you.

The size when open is 36" tall (chair feet to top of the chair back), 24" wide (from outer edges of armrests; the seating area is 18" wide), and 20" deep. The height of the chair seat to the ground is 18". When folded, the chair is 36" tall, 9" wide, and 8" deep.

The chair weighs 10.9 pounds.

We do not recommend heavy usage at the beach (at least sandy beaches!) More specifically, heavy exposure to sand in and around the folding mechanism and locking system may make the chair difficult to open and close.

If it does get a little sand or salt water on it, just rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry. We built the Emmett to last and with the highest quality materials for most situations, but be aware the folding design was not intended for primary use in sand and salt water.

We designed our first folding chair for so many other outdoor locations: in your backyard, around the firepit, at the park, on the sidelines, at a tailgate with friends...the list goes on!
