Common Questions

Is the Camp X Chair worth it over a cheaper option like the Coleman Quad Chair?

It's a modest step up in build quality and comfort at a somewhat higher price, backed by REI's return policy — a reasonable middle-ground choice for regular car camping use.

Is this chair good for tall users?

Its standard seat height and dimensions accommodate most users comfortably, though very tall users should check specific dimensions against their preference.

Does REI offer a warranty beyond the standard return policy?

REI Co-op products are generally covered by REI's member satisfaction guarantee rather than a separate extended manufacturer warranty.
