SUNMER Folding Camping Chair (Extra Wide, Armrests & Cup Holder) – Light Grey, 120 kg capacity
Product description
An extra-wide fold-up chair for relaxed outdoor days
If you want something you can chuck in the garden for sunny afternoons, a folding camping chair is hard to beat. The SUNMER Folding Camping Chair is built around the idea of “sit back, get comfy, keep your drink nearby”, with armrests, a cup holder and even a magazine pocket. It’s the kind of chair that makes sense for BBQs, camping pitches, and those moments when you want proper seating rather than a bouncy garden chair.
That extra-wide approach is the real hook on paper. Depending on your build and how much room you like, it may feel noticeably more comfortable than narrower folding chairs. Still, it’s not a heavy lounge chair replacement—think practical outdoor seating that packs down.
What you’ll notice in everyday use
This model is designed to be easy to move around. At just 2.5kg, it’s light enough to reposition for the best bit of shade or sun without turning it into a whole event. It also folds away quickly, and a carrier bag is included, which helps if you store it in a shed, boot, or cupboard.
The drink holder is the small feature you end up using more than you expect. In a real-world scenario, it’s the difference between “balancing a cup on your knee” and having somewhere steady for a cold drink while you’re chatting. The magazine pocket adds a tidy place for a book or bits and pieces, so you’re not constantly setting things on the grass.
Key features that make a difference
The chair’s strongest selling points are straightforward: armrests for support, a cup holder for convenience, and a magazine pocket for keeping your stuff to hand. It’s also described as having flat feet to reduce the risk of slipping while adding extra stability—handy if you’re setting up on slightly uneven garden ground.
Where it sits in the market: with a stated 120kg (18 stone) capacity, this is positioned as a sturdier camping chair option rather than something purely lightweight and delicate. It’s not trying to look ultra-minimal, it’s aiming to feel dependable when you actually use it.
Tech specs (the bits to check before you buy)
- Type: Folding camping chair
- Capacity: 120kg (18 stone)
- Weight: 2.5kg
- Assembled dimensions: 95cm x 55cm x 55cm
One quick limitation to keep in mind: you’ll want to allow for that footprint once it’s opened. If your space is tight—narrow patio, small balcony, or crowded camping pitch—measure the area you plan to set it up in.
Build, stability and the realistic expectations
The chair is described as being constructed from quality materials designed to withstand the weather and whatever else you might throw at it. Based on the inclusion of flat feet aimed at reducing slipping, the focus here is stability rather than just looks.
In use, stability tends to be what you feel first: fewer wobbles when you shift your weight, and less “sliding around” when the ground isn’t perfectly level. That said, for uneven surfaces (deep grass, soft ground, or rutted camping spots), no folding chair is magic—placement and ground choice still matter.
Who it suits (and who should think twice)
It’s a good fit if you want a portable folding camping chair that’s still designed to support a higher weight capacity, and you value the convenience of armrests plus a cup holder. It suits people who regularly do casual outdoor sitting—garden lounging, festival/camping trips, or summer gatherings—where you’d rather carry something manageable than a bulky chair.
It may not be the best choice if you’re after a more “recliner-style” comfort experience or a fully wide, lounge-level seating setup. Also, if you prefer ultracompact fold sizes or have very limited storage space, you might want to compare how that assembled footprint will work for your space.
Worth noting: the chair comes in light grey, which is usually practical for hiding some everyday marks, but lighter colours can still show dust more easily than darker shades.
Care & warranty: practical reassurance
A 365-day warranty is included, which is a sensible safety net if anything goes wrong. For longevity, it’s also worth using common-sense outdoor care: store it properly when you’re not using it and keep it clean so dirt doesn’t build up in the folds.

Final verdict
Should you buy it? If you’re shopping for a portable, extra-wide folding camping chair with armrests and a cup holder, the SUNMER ticks the boxes that matter for everyday outdoor relaxing. It’s more than just a lightweight seat on paper, thanks to the stated 120kg capacity and the stability-focused flat feet.
You may want to skip it if your main goal is ultra-lounge comfort or if you have tight space where the 95cm footprint will be difficult. For most casual outdoor sitting setups, though, it reads like a sensible, practical choice.
