I bought this because I have PoTS, which means that my body expels 3x more energy to stand than healthy people. I often get dizzy, I faint, am chronically fatigued, and in general just cant stand for a long period of time. I wanted to have something lightweight and easy to carry so that I always had a place to sit when needed. It is definitely lightweight and it folds small enough that I can fit it in my large purse. The seat is low to the ground, which I dont mind, but the seat itself is very narrow. The carrying bag says its XL but it would only fit a child or a very thin person. I am 56, about 130 lbs, and even my thighs have some overhang. This definitely would not work for a larger person. It feels sturdy for me, but again, I am only 130 lbs. A previous review stated that their chair buckled under their weight. So if you are larger I would recommend something different. It works for me, but it might not work for you.
It works for me, it might not work for you
