Some time back I looked into the Kermit Chair.

We discussed it in this thread.

I am a bit embarassed to say that I did pay the price of admission and
did get one. I used the chair on a recent canoe camping trip in
Wisconsin. So here we go:

Seen here next to the familiar 1 litre Nalgene bottles for scale, still in the bag

removed from the included canvas bag, the chair is laid out for you to see.

construction is of marine varished ( two coats )oak, stainless steel
and green canvas. (other colors and custom options available) Forgive
my ignorance of the proper names for chair parts, but seen here are the
slots that the cross members plug into and the protrusion that the
struts secure to.

the cross member and strut assembled. There is one across the front legs and one across the rear.

the curved back support. the pin at the end mates with the hole in the top of the back support.

The other end is held in place by a stainless plate. You push the plate
forward and then slide the pin into the slot. then return the plate to
the rear where it holds the pin captive. The same procedure is
accomplished across the front of the seat.

then your chair is assembled. If you look at the right arm rest,
visible here and also in the first shot out of the bag, is the
stainless steel insert that runs inside the length of the arms and
lends a lot of strength to the chair.

Mine came with a complimentary drink holder (an $18 value) which snaps
on the leg and over one of the screws which holds it securely. It is
really quite handy though not big enough for the Nalgene bottles. It
was big enough for the glass I brought along and would accomodate most
beer bottles.

The chair was designed and initially built by a touring motorcyclist
who wanted a comfortable chair that packed down small. He achieved his
goal. It is lower to the ground than your normal lawn chair, but not so
low that my aging 53 year old frame could not handle it. Leg extensions
are available that raise the chair about 6 inches I think. It is most
comfortable when your feet are planted on the ground or on a stump or
other foot stool type support about a foot tall. If you stretch you
legs straight out on the ground, the curved front support creates a
pressure point on the outside of your legs. I am 5 foot 10″ tall and
weigh in at a svelte 200 pounds. If you are built differently you might
not have this complaint. For me it is more comfortable than the bag
chairs made of tubular steel that are found quite cheaply at department
stores and the like. It is not as comfortable as the type lawn chairs
that were commonly available before the advent of the bag chair.

It is a very nice chair made of good quality components. It is pricey
at $129 and if you don’t need a good chair that packs down this small,
it might not be for you. You could buy a lot of bag chairs and leave
them in the trash bin on your way from the take out. I wish it was less
expensive, but I do like that it is made in Tennessee with a lot of
hand work. I am glad it is part of my kit and was a welcome sight upon
returning to camp after a day of paddling.

Thanks for looking
