Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool Lightweight Yet More Sturdy with Load Capacity 400lbs Portable Collapsible Stool for Camping Fishing Hiking BBQ (Black)

I recently picked up the Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool specifically for my fishing adventures, thinking it would be the perfect lightweight and portable seating solution for both boat trips and jetty fishing. Overall, I'm quite pleased with its core functionality, though there are a few things potential buyers should keep in mind, echoing some experiences I've seen from others. The first thing that impressed me was just how lightweight and portable this stool truly is. Collapsing down to a mere 2.5 inches, it easily slips into my tackle bag or can be comfortably carried using the integrated nylon-web handle or the handy, storable shoulder strap. This makes it an absolute winner for anyone who prioritizes packability for activities like camping, hiking, or, in my case, fishing and BBQing. Setting it up is generally easy and quick. The "accordion" style opening using the finger holes is intuitive, and I appreciate the slight twist that locks it securely at the desired height. Being able to adjust it to intermediate heights is a nice feature, offering flexibility beyond the standard full extension of about 17.75 inches, which is a comfortable sitting height for me. The nearly 10-inch diameter seat feels perfectly adequate for my needs and doesn't feel restrictive. The advertised 400lbs load capacity gives me a significant sense of security, especially when using it on a boat where balance can sometimes be a factor. It certainly appears to be sturdily made and, as advertised, it does feel more robust than some other lightweight folding stools I've seen. The availability in a wide variety of colors is also a nice touch. However, mirroring some feedback from other users, the durability does seem to be a point to monitor. While it feels solid initially, some have reported issues with it falling apart upon breaking. I haven't encountered this myself yet, but it's a concern I'll definitely keep in mind with continued use. The ease of opening and closing is also something where experiences seem to vary. Personally, I found the accordion mechanism and the twist-to-lock system relatively straightforward to operate after a couple of tries. However, I can see how some might find it a bit fiddly at first, so be prepared for a potential learning curve. Finally, the manufacturer's explicit warning about avoiding use on sloping ground is crucial. For my purposes on relatively flat boat decks and jetties, this isn't a major concern. However, if you intend to use this for hiking or in areas with uneven terrain, definitely heed their advice to test the stability carefully before fully sitting down. For my primary use of fishing (on both the boat and jetty), the Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool has proven to be a surprisingly useful and convenient addition to my gear. The portability and ease of setup are fantastic, and the high weight capacity offers peace of mind. Just be mindful of the potential durability concerns highlighted by some users and the limitations regarding uneven surfaces. I'd recommend this to others looking for a lightweight and portable seating solution for various outdoor activities, but advise them to handle it with reasonable care to maximize its lifespan.

So far this folding stool has been easy to open and close compared to some other brands. Convenient and light weight for carrying to outdoors events and to use during long waits in line.

Works great! As advertised. Very stable. and very easy to use in a variety of situations. you can adjust the height, so it can be used for gardening, camping, hiking, etc.

Worked great for about 8 months. I’m a home health nurse weigh 275 and open and close this stool probably 15 times a day and sit on it for 10-30 minutes at a time. Stool is super solid! Only problem 8 months in I rock on this stool slightly as I bend over and lean on it. Well plastic doesn’t give and it broke and collapsed on me today. Luckily I’m ok but the stool broke into 1 million pieces. I think for the occasional user it will last a long time. However people who use it daily be prepared to get one every 6 months to avoid this.

Love this chair. Take it to festivals. Easy to use, not heavy and others appreciate when I let them use it. Takes a load off from standing all day. Sturdy.

A standard stool for an extra seat, and I love how compacted it is for easy storage

This is a great little stool, I’ve used it several times already, one place that has been, is where I pickup my medicine there is always a long line on. I had a gentleman ask me all about it because he wanted one also, they are so convenient to carry with the shoulder or hand straps, I use a cane and an oxygen tank so I use the shoulder strap, and it’s so easy to open (if you remember to push in on it before twisting it open), not that I have ever done that:) very light weight and easy to move forward in line with along with being comfortable and sturdy, as I am 230 lbs, and they claim it’s good up to 400 lbs, at my weight it is very sturdy. And, oh yes again you must remember to pull on it before trying to close back up or you’ll be frustrated because these are the safety locks to keep it from collapsing while using it.

Useful until it wasn’t. Would give it 5 stars however about 30 mins into my teenage son sitting, it collapsed and shattered. The concept is nice. Love that it was compact and lightweight but not durable.

The Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool has quickly gone from "nice to have" to "can't live without" in my daily life. Whether it’s camping weekends, outdoor concerts, or even just needing a quick seat while working in the garden, this stool delivers in ways I didn’t expect. Strength Meets Smart Design: First off, don’t let the compact size fool you. This thing is rock solid. Thanks to Boreeman’s upgraded structural design, it easily holds full adult weight without any wobble. I was amazed at how secure it feels, even on slightly uneven ground. The way it folds out with a simple twist motion and locks into place is smooth and incredibly satisfying. True Portability: It’s super lightweight, and the built-in adjustable strap means I can just sling it over my shoulder and forget it’s there until I need it. It’s smaller than a frisbee when collapsed — perfect for tossing into the car, backpack, or even a tote bag. Adjustable for Comfort: One thing I love is that you can adjust the height depending on what you need. Whether I’m resting during a hike or using it as a mini table for gear setup, it's incredibly versatile. Durability That Lasts: After months of use (and a few accidental drops), it still looks and works like new. The materials are high quality and weather-resistant — no weird creaking or bending after repeated use. Final Thoughts: The Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool proves that brilliant design doesn't need to be complicated. It’s tough, it’s portable, it’s convenient — honestly, it’s the sidekick you didn’t know you needed. If you spend any time outdoors, travel, or just want a reliable "anywhere" seat, do yourself a favor and grab one. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Bought as a shower stool while I'm on crutches for a couple weeks. Literally just use it to sit on for 10 minutes a day. After a week of use, the thing broke while I was sitting on it. Fortunately didn't hurt myself but definitely no what I expected. I thought the product was really cool and I would use it for the range and camping but not anymore!

My stool does not extend to it's fullest extension as there are 2 parts that do not extend. I have tried multiple times but it just will not fully open. I am very disappointed as I need this for medical reasons

Comfortable for daily basis use .

Me gusto la seriedad de uds.
