Beach chairs are still made that way, if you don't mind sitting really, really low to the ground.

I don't think they suck at all and are way more comfortable and lighter than the 4 way folding canvas chairs.
I had 2 from 25-30 years ago that saw heavy use in their day and I re-webbed them a couple years ago. Still going strong. |

The webbing was shit on those things even back in the good old days of everyone being skinny. It would rot, and start to disintegrate after one season. |

I think that is what the OP is talking about. The ones in your picture came later. |

WOW I guess I must be getting old, because I think the new ones suck, I hate them!
those ones that fold up into a bag, that have these pieces of shit that go right under your upper leg/ thigh area, and just fucking suck i hate them. give me the old fashion ones WAY more comfortable, last WAY longer, just built better. I got one from lowes online, not as good as older but acceptable. |

I just realized something.
The older style chairs that the majority are saying "sucked" promoted good posture. You sat up right in them. The new style chairs that are everywhere that the majority say are "better" do not promote good poster. They curve your back and make you slump down in them.

Yes! They are much lighter than the canvas ones we use today, and the canvas ones take forever to dry.

WOW I guess I must be getting old, because I think the new ones suck, I hate them! Agree. The new ones rundown: Plastic -- break into shards when you lean back. Steel frame -- too damn heavy to carry to a concert at the local park. High end ones -- also too heavy and too expensive. Wood -- great for elderly people who "summer" in coastal New England. ETA: "those cheap ass chairs from Walmart that fit in a tube bag" -- force you to slump your back, uncomfortable. There is a website that still sells the classic ones, don't have the url handy. |

Thank the fatties who filed a law suit every time one of those web chairs snapped the pins and collapsed under their heft or their huge ass ripped through the webbing and got trapped below sparking embarrassing laughter from the crowd as they tried to pry you free.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I hate the newer folding camp chairs. Yep. They do suck. Too much stress on the contact point and they dig into the ground, sink in soft ground, and destroy tent floor. I do have several for use on hard surfaces such as picnic shelters and blinds with wood floors. They do pack well. Many of the same issues exist with cots. If you need one for a tent, don't use the military design. Those are not meant for a tent floor. I do prefer a new take on the old design. It is far superior as a real camp chair. I use a chair that does not sink into the ground and uses the old styles u-shaped legs. Good for actual camp (fishing/hunting camp). I use this, 
and something like this.
