This is a good portable chair with footrest for the money. It is light and seems sturdy enough (it took much of my weight in a fall on concrete with no ill effect except a rip in the cover. The reason it did not get a 5 was that the footrest part is a bit narrow and a little flippy if you are not watching what you are doing-- but on the other hand, that narrowing toward the seat allows your legs to come down on either side of the footrest easier, kind of like you would sit without a leg rest. So maybe that's a wash. It's not a chair for really big people, though it takes well over 200 pounds well. For the average sized person, especially females and kids, it's fine. The carrying strap is a bit narrow for big shoulders and heavy clothing, but certainly not a dealbreaker for the value of having a sturdy chair in which you can put your legs up.
