The product was as described and seemed to be a perfect solution to use on the beach for long walks (sit down break) or fishing. We wanted something very light weight to carry and I was excited when the stools arrived. I opened them (sealed in vacuum sealed plastic). They looked fine. I sat on one and found myself sitting on the floor in a lot of pain. My bottom landed on the metal bars. I am 66 and this was quite a shock to my system when I went down so unexpectedly. Luckily my head barely missed a metal table frame close to me. I inspected the collapsed stool and realized an end cap was missing. The metal rod that holds the straps in place was also missing. The straps were in the holes and looked fine when I opened it up, but they were not secure enough to sit on. I am not saying dont buy this ... I do think it is as represented, BUT JUST CONFIRM THE STRAPS ARE SECURED BEFORE YOU SIT ON IT. It looks to be made well, I gave Sturdiness only 2 stars because I wont sit on it again to find out. Not a lot of sitting surface if you are large build.
