Chairs & Tables
Camp chairs die at the joints. A cheap one lasts about two seasons before the frame racks out of square and the fabric starts pulling away from the rivets, which is why the number worth checking is the frame material and the weight rating rather than the cup holder count. Our Browning Camping chairs run Pro-Tec powder-coated steel, and the Fireside is rated to 300 pounds.
What we carry
- Fireside Chair, Gold Buckmark ($99.99): 600D polyester with a reinforced TechMesh center panel that breathes on humid nights, a 300-pound powder-coated steel frame, an oversized beverage holder, and a carry bag. Also in Pink Buckmark ($99.99).
- Twin Falls Loveseat ($149.99): two seats in one folding frame. Cheaper than two chairs, packs as one item, and it is the seat everyone at the fire ends up fighting over.
- Basin Table ($39.99): folding hub design that pops open in seconds on a steel frame, with a 420D polyester honeycomb ripstop top and two built-in beverage holders. Folds small enough to live in the truck permanently.
Mesh panels are worth paying for
A solid fabric seat back traps heat against you, which nobody thinks about in the store in February and everybody thinks about in July. The TechMesh center on the Fireside lets air move through the panel you are actually leaning on. It also dries faster after rain, so the chair you left out overnight is usable in the morning instead of soaked through.
One note on tables. A folding-hub table sets up faster than a roll-top and stows flatter, at the cost of a smaller surface. If you are cooking for a group, plan on two of them rather than looking for one big one.
