Know before you buy
The chair folds down to a very portable 38 x 13 x 12 cm, which is roughly 6 liters in volume. It fits easily into most backpacks or can be carried using the handle on the included storage cover.
This is a low-profile chair with a seat height of 29 cm. While it is sturdy enough to support up to 110 kg, the low-back, armless design is best suited for casual lounging rather than upright dining.
No, the chair features a quick-setup mechanism that allows you to unfold and use it immediately. There are no complex parts to piece together, making it ideal for quick stops at the beach or a concert.
Yes, the MH500 is designed to be repairable. Quechua provides access to spare parts, so you can replace individual components rather than needing to discard the entire chair if something wears out.
The chair does not feature a padded seat. It is constructed from a durable blend of polyester and polyamide, designed to be lightweight and weather-resistant for outdoor use.
