LUXJET Portable Folding Stool for Camping Outdoor (Red) – Max Load 396 lbs
Product description
What it is
A compact, adjustable folding stool designed for camping, hiking, fishing and travel. Weighing about 1.2kg, it folds small enough to stow in a bag and carries with a handy strap.
How it works
The seat height is adjustable from 6 cm to 46 cm across 12 positions, allowing you to tailor comfort for adults and children alike. The fold mechanism is designed to open and close in seconds, with locking clasps to hold the stool steady once set. When closed, snap joints on the caps prevent accidental opening, which helps when you’re moving between setups.
Materials and stability
Constructed from PA66 reinforced plastic, the stool adopts a cylinder-like frame and non-slip base to maximise stability. The stated maximum load is 180 kg (396 lbs). As with any portable seating, it’s best to sit in the centre and avoid leaning on the edge.
Who it’s for
This stool targets outdoor enthusiasts who want lightweight, portable seating for camping, fishing trips, hiking breaks, or queuing at events. It’s also handy for jobs around the house where a low, temporary seat is useful.
The good bits
- Lightweight and compact for easy transport and storage.
- 12 height positions offer versatile seating for different terrains and users.
- Safe and stable design with a solid locking system and anti-slip base.
- Simple to open and close, which helps when you’re dealing with gear in the wild or a busy campsite.
Where it may fall short
- The reliability of any foldable chair hinges on the locking mechanism, if the clasps wear, stability could be affected. It’s not a high-end chair and is best treated as practical camp seating rather than a luxury product.
- The seat is small in diameter (roughly 25 cm), which may feel cramped for larger users or prolonged seating.
- While the weight is lightweight, the overall stamina of the plastic frame under heavy daily use over many years isn’t something this description confirms.
Practical use cases
If you’re stopping for a short break on a hike, fishing from a bank, or waiting in a queue at an outdoor event, this stool offers a quick, low-effort seating option. Imagine taking a moment to rest at a scenic overlook or tying on a lure with a stable perch instead of kneeling.
Before you buy: what to check
- Confirm the height you actually need, as 6–46 cm covers a broad range but may feel high or low depending on your usual seating height.
- Ensure the carried weight of your pack won’t make the overall setup feel bulky when combined with other gear.
- Inspect the locking clasps and base for signs of wear if you buy second-hand or second-season gear.
Comparison in practice
Compared with bulkier camping stools or rigid chairs, this model prioritises portability and ease of use. If you prioritise ultimate comfort or long sessions seated around camp furniture, a larger, more robust chair might be more appropriate. For quick rests and flexible use across activities, it can be a sensible middle ground.
FAQ
- How tall is the stool when extended to the maximum? Up to 46 cm.

Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you value portability and a decent range of height settings for casual outdoor seating. It may not be the best choice if you need a seat for all-day use or maximum load without monitoring wear over time.
