Powered by Mom Blog brings you a King Kong Folding Camping Chair Review
Do you love the great outdoors? Whether it’s your back yard, the park or going camping the King Kong Folding Camping Chairs from BrylaneHome will become your favorite chair!
When the weather is nice we love to be outside especially in our back yard but we also like to go to the park and we do go camping. My hubby in particular LOVES to camp and as a result over the years we’ve gone through a lot of folding camping chairs. Of course any folding camping chairs we’ve owned over the years have not lasted very long. I admit we are tough on our outdoor equipment as they get used a lot and we’re a rough and tumble group sometimes. As well we do live in the pacific north west which means rain, sometimes a lot of rain and that means that our gear like outdoor folding camping chairs can end up in the rain sometimes for a few days at a time!
Well let me tell you those cheap folding camping chairs are not well made, they’re cheap for a reason, you know the ones I mean. You unfold them and they feel like they’re going to tip to one side and/or the material is really thin. Well I’m happy to say that’s not the case of the BrylaneHome King Kong Camping Chairs! Those chairs are tough, maybe even tougher than us. My husband who is the camping gear critic was impressed with them immediately. They are heavier than those cheap ones as they’re built solid with a powder-coated steel frame and cushioned polyester khaki canvas. The canvas is thick and the chairs are very comfortable to sit in.
They come in their own carrying cases as you can see below.
I can easily see how these King Kong Folding Camping Chairs holds up to 800lbs. Yes you’re reading that right it holds up to that much, my daughter sat on this chair with me and it was even roomier than we thought and there was no sagging of the seating. We even accidentally left one of the chairs out one night and of course it rained over night. I brushed off the chair of any leaves and it still looks brand new.
Overall we are very happy with these extremely solid and durable folding camping chairs from BrylaneHome. I think they will even outlast my family as they are so well made. One thing I know for sure is they will be well used as they’ll be the first chairs we pull out for any outdoor activity we’ve got coming. They’ve already been used at the park and are set up outside now for our next bbq!
Here’s the 411 on these chairs:
- extra-wide 24” seat
- high backrest
- side pocket cooler
- powder-coated steel frame and cushioned polyester khaki canvas
- compact design folds quickly & fits in 7” x 41” bag
- dimensions: 38”W x 20”D x 38”H
Thanks BrylaneHome we love everything we have from you so far for both inside and outside our home! Enter our giveaway for one of these awesome chairs HERE ends 6/4 US Only.

I love that this chair has high backs. I also like that these chairs fold up and they have a carry case for easy carrying!
KyLee Mills says
I love how big it is
Jessica Parent says
Wow!!! 800 lbs!?! (Not sure a bottom that big would fit in it-but that sounds pretty darn sturdy) The extra wide seat is enticing too-Im so sick of my chairs only lasting a season or 2
Sharon says
I love that these chairs are heavier than those cheap ones and they’re built solid with a powder-coated steel frame and cushioned polyester khaki canvas. I also like that the canvas is thick and the chairs are very comfortable to sit in and it holds up to 800lbs! Great for big and tall guys!

Sherri Burgan says
I love the color and that it’s made with high quality materials
JAMIE G says
extra-wide 24” seat works for my backside
Cheryl Rahkonen says
I like that these chairs are so well made. I bought a chair recently and within 2 months all the canvas had ripped off the back. It wasn’t used to much and I was shocked at the short time it lasted. I would love to try this chair.
Evelyn Chuter says
This looks like a strong and sturdy chair. I love the carry bag. I like sturdy chair because there is nothing more embarresting then sitting in a chair and having it collapse on you. I know! I love Bryland Homes too.
Penni says
Love the portability, and can’t believe this chair holds up to 800 pounds!

Great review! I like how compact it folds up and also the extra wide seat. Perfect for dads.

chrissy c says
This is great info to know! All of our kids play Soccer and we need some replacement chairs! I will definitely be looking into these! Thanks for the great review!
Brandi Dawn says
I wanna be able to curl up into a fold up chair like that again! lol, She looks so comfy.
Beanybopp says
I got a free folding up chair when I signed up with a new bank and it’s cheap!! Now of course I didnt pay for it but still. I never really sat in it, even when I was a size 6, because it was uncomfortable and always tipped. This chair sounds wonderful…my husband was reading over my shoulder and he would really like this chair!! It would be nice to finally have a chair that we can take places (like a bonfire) and not have to worry about it breaking or tipping over. I love this chair holds up to 800lbs!! Mine, I believes, holds up to 150?? I also like that there is extra room for your butt…i have quite a big butt lol
Peggy Johnson says
there are so many great features about this chair. I like that the seat is wider than most and that it is made from a heavier framing and good quality canvas
TJ Eans says
My husband was just complaining about the flimsiness of our current folding chairs the other day, so I bet he would love one of these. Plus, it’s a chair the whole family could sit in all at once. What’s not to love about that?! LOL
Julie W says
I like that it has a side pocket cooler.
Sharon Siqueiros says
We go through a couple of these every few years. These look very well made and sturdy, all of us here don’t add up to 800 llbs but it’s nice to know I could sit in my husband’s lap and we won’t fall through hehehe
Thanks for the review
Alyshia says
These chairs look great and what’s funny is I just ripped mine yesterday and almost fell right out but thankfully I caught myself.
Rita Spratlen says
I like this a lot for it looks easy to take with you and pack in your car or RV. This looks comfortable too. This is important once you are there.

It’s meant for lArger people

Michelle Proper says
I love that it’s so sturdy and has a high back rest! Perfect add-a-long for camping!

I learned that these King Kong chairs hold up to 800 lbs. I would much rather put out a little more money on a very dependable product , then have to deep buying new chairs every year!! It would save a lot of money!!
Betty Barnhart Lockhart says
I love the fact that this chair can hold up to 800lbs.So no worries as to who can sit in this nice chair.

I am amazed that this chair can hold 800 lb. These would be very handy for camping and sporting events!
Tamara Terni says
I LOVE THE CARRY BAG SO EASY TO CARRY INSTEAD OF THE OLD FOLD UP ONES. IT LOOKS VERY COMFORTABLE ALSO.
Anne says
One thing I like about this chair is its extra-wide seat. My spouse is a big guy and often can’t get comfortable in regular-size chairs. And although he’s nowhere near the 800 pound capacity of this chair, it’s good to know it will indeed hold him.
Cindy Conner Bowling says
I love the size and that it has it’s own carrying case.
angelia medlin says
I was surprised to hear that the chairs hold up to 800lbs. Thats alot of weight to be able to hold up to. Impressive.
ellen beck says
These look comfortable and I like how sturdy they are. I also like that they seem oversize so there is room to move around a bit or even have a child in your lap without thinking the thing will break!
Tina says
I love the high weight limits. It sounds like a really sturdy chair.
Grace says
I really like the durability of the chair! The high back is also great! Definitely don’t want the cheap camping ones u talk about! You seem to really live how durable it is! My hubby would love one that would outlast him!
Marcia Lee says
I like that the seat is both extra wide and holds up to 800 lbs. I love having my grandchildren sit in my lap. With the Brylane King Kong chair I won’t have to worry that we will damage the chair.
Holly E says
I really like the high backrest and side pocket cooler. These chairs look great!
Holly E says
I love these chairs! They look very well made and comfortable.
Ellen B says
I like the high backrest on the chair – looks so comfy
roberta m says
I love the information the it would be perfect for any of my big men My daddy, My Honey, My sons or son in law we have some short, tall, medium big men…Hey Big guys are the best guys to love the have the biggest hearts at least mine do…
Audrey Davis says
I have a king kong that sure could fit in that chair. looks great and sound for a large person.
Linda Pannell says
I like the 411 on the chair. My husband is a big man and has had many outside chairs. This one looks perfect for him. It would be such a wonderful fathers day gift for him. Thanks so much for the chance!
Diane Elizabeth says
This sounds like the perfect gift for my oldest son. he loves camping and fishing. The carrying case would be really handy because he often walks several blocks from his house to the pier to fish. Even though he’s not a very big guy, he’s broken the last folding chair he had. I don’t think that would be a problem with this chair! Thanks for the review.
David Smith says
I like that they have a really wide seat and the cooler too. Overall they look like they will last many years and are very sturdily built. I would rather spend a little more to buy something that will last a very long time, than buy something really cheap that you will be throwing away in a year or maybe two. Also it looks like the fabric is really heavy and the 800 lb rating is definitely impressive.
Sandra Hurt says
Love that it has a side cooler and that the;chair is for heavier people which my hubby is. Looks to be good sturdy and comfy.
Tamra Phelps says
I like that these are built so much sturdier than the usual camp chair! Others feel as if they might fall apart beneath you!
Jennifer Hiles says
I’ve bought my fair share of cheap camping chairs. You are correct, they are not worth it. It ends up saving you money in the long run to buy a quality chair. We are outside every available moment and use camping chairs often. We only have 2 though and their are 4 of us. It’s a race to see who gets one!
M.Clark says
This looks like a nice sturdy chair, not just for camping but for ball games and the beach. I’d love to have one of these, thank you for sharing this great review.
Linda Poplees says
I have so happy this chair is made sturdy enough for a larger person.
Kelly says
What a great looking chair! I love that it is high quality, extra large, and still portable!
Tammy S says
This is a nice looking chair. I like that it has an extra large seat. If would be great for camping and to take to picnics. Thanks for the review.
Mary Alice Ford says
I learned it hold up to 800lbs and this is good cause my hubby is big man and mst other chairs will not do for him
judy sizemore says
I love this chair, it would be so easy to take on a fishing trip
Angel Ward says
I learned it holds up to 800lbs! Wow amazing!
Zella Mckheen says
I learned it holds a lot more weight than most chairs. I learned the dimensions of it. which is always a plus.. especially with someone who has a wider rear end.. Im no where near average size or skinny.. i wanna sit comfortably… that matters..
Jennifer Shiflett says
It looks very comfy and I love that it folds for storage. We love to use them, but want to be able to put the up so we can have extra room when needed.
Nicole Becker says
Looks like a great chair!! I don’t necessarily go camping but I do go to the beach alot and this would be perfect to put right in the sand!!
Barbara Riffe says
Wow, they do look comfy, and warm.
Sue Hull says
I love the extra wide seat the most. This is my kinda chair 🙂

I love these chairs, they are so handy. I like that these have large seats and the drink holder.

Christine Beasley says
My husband andI have shopped extensively to find folding/camp chairs of STURDY construction like these. And the taller backs are a bonus. So glad to find out about these!
Charlotte Mathews says
I like that it is a sturdy chair with a wider seat
Dandi D says

lana simamovicki says
What’s not to like it’s awesome
German Lopez says
This chair sounds super awesome. I have a few cheapo chairs and they are pretty uncomfortable if you sit for longer than 15 mins and they are narrow on the seat. This beast has a huge sitting area and seems very comfy. Great review.
Lynn sylvis says
Love that it is comfy for plus size sitting in the others kill my back plus I just had a hysterectomy
Brandi Dawn says
I learned that it holds up to 800lbs!!! Wow.
Helga says
Those look well made and easy to port around. I would like one for my trips.
Sweta Sonulkar says
like the review
Dorothy Teel says
Wow how great a chair that can and is made for larger people, of course I don’t weigh 800 pounds, but it could hold me and all of my grandchildren and hubby if I had the desire, they are nice and I agree it would be nice to have one that the frame is supportive and not just thrown together.. Thank you for this review
Tina Truex says
I like the side pocket cooler – great idea! The steel frame for extra strength. Love the extra wide seat for all of us “not so tiny” people. The high backrest. We had chairs before that were not sturdy broke after maybe one summer of use. They were uncomfortable small and low backrest.
Terri Brinke says
I love that they’re wide so the kids can be on my lap in front of a bonfire, at a concert etc.
Rose Reeder says
The chair would hold over 800 pounds so my little grandchildren could sit with me.
Saundra M says
I am a big lady and I love that it is durable and will hold my weight. Thanks for the chance, I really need this.
Paula Morgan says
A sturdy, durable, well made chair with a wider seat, a higher back and bigger load capacity… WOW!! What a chair!!
sue williams says
That is one sturdy chair and handy easy to carry! Wow!!
Sally T. says
The chair holds up to 800 lbs.Carries easy,and is made out of sturdy
material.
Anne Marie Carter says
I like the fact that these chairs hold up to 300 lbs and they can be carried in their own sack.
Sue Hull says
I have a hard time finding chairs for myself. I’m 6′ and on the big side. I’ve been wanting to get a good strong chair like this so I can go to my nieces softball games. This would be perfect. Thanks for the great review 🙂
RANDY FULGHAM says
I LEARNED THIS CHAIR WILL HOLD UP TO 800LBS—WELL I GOT 500 LBS MORE TO GO….
Kyla P says
Hate the cheap ones that tip to one side! ugh! this one sounds really nice though! great review!
Marti Tabora says
I like that it has an extra wide seat and the cushioned polyester canvas.
Sherrie C. says
These chairs sound great! Much better than the cheap camping chairs I purchased last Summer. I bought a few of the cheap camping chairs last year for my family to sit on while camping thinking they would last the Summer but one broke the very same day and had to be thrown away and the others ripped and tore shortly after purchasing them. These chairs sound like much better quality chairs.
Raye W says
I agree with you that the ‘cheap’ chairs are cheap for a reason. We’ve gone through our share of them through the years. This chair might just be on my summer buy list. I love that it’s padded, more sturdy, and that cooler pocket would be very handy. I’d much rather spend money on a quality product that will handle the abuse our chairs go through camping, than repeatedly buy new ‘cheap’ ones that last one season of hard use and bad weather.
Sandra Dowling says
I like that it is for BIG people!!
Tamra Phelps says
These look sturdy. Usually, I avoid this type of chair because I fear it’ll tip over! But these look really well constructed.
Shannon says
I love that it is for bigger people. Most chairs like these are super flimsy and uncomfortable. I would like to have one to read outside with.
Robin O says
We would use these so much during the summer. Thanks for the great photos and review!
debra dubois says
My favorite is the extra wide seat and weight limit great for my hubby!
Blessed Assurance says
I learned that this chair holds up to 800 lbs and it is good to know that if I leave them outdoors in the rain. I can still have like new chairs.
Blessed Assurance says
I have always shied away from getting folding chairs for outdoor events due to the fact that they do not last long, but after this review about the King Kong chairs i might change my mind.
Dana Rodriguez says
Looks like a nice durable chair.I also like it has a pocket!
Stacey b says
I like that this has a side pocket cooler
Sarah Elyce says
This chair looks really comfortable and well-made.
Jill A. Collins says
I think everyone needs a couple of chairs like this. There are so many times you want to go to Summertime outdoor parties or events and seating always seems to be at a premium. The fact that they’re in their own carrying case makes them so easy to just throw in the trunk and take with you just in case!
lisa says
I like that the chair is well made and has a spot for my can of, for my beverage.
Sarah Griffin says
I like that they will hold up to 800 pounds. I also like the idea of the cooler on the side. I have a couple chairs that are similar and cost $40 each but they only lasted us 2 years before something went wrong with them. Time for some new ones!
Mary M. says
I like that wide seat and knowing that you think they are solid and durable means a lot to me.
Natalie Brown says
Hi! I love that these chairs are so well made. I do know the cheap ones you mean. lol It’s a nice feature that they’re extra wide too. That way it’s more comfortable. Thank-you for the information & the review!!
Debbie Welchert says
I love everything this chair has to offer. My favorite is the extra wide seat and the weight capacity.
valerie guerrero says
im glad they are steady
valerie guerrero says
they sound very great
gianna borden says
these sound awesome, i have some chairs similar from walmart but they’re super flimsy! cannot believe these hold up to 800 lbs!!!!!! definitely the name king kong suits them! haha
Christine Waddell says
I love that they hold 800 pounds!
Kelly Amos says
I really like the compact storage of this chair! I also appreciate the large weight capacity.
VictoriaN says
I like that the chairs are so large. My husband is a large man and has difficulty finding a chair that is comfortable. A good sturdy chair would be very useful for us.
Terri S says
Sounds like an amazing chair. Most you buy are kind of flimsy and age if left out.
Teri Melton says
My friend has this exact chair, even in this color. She loves it very much. She is very “plus sized” and has difficulty walking. Being able to take this chair with her has freed her to go more places with her kids and grandkids. The smile on her face was just great to see. Now I want one too! I love that the canvas is thick as sometimes the flimsier chairs get uncomfortable quickly.
sandy slade says
sounds like it might stand up to the salt air.
Jenn Scarbrough Driggers says
Large chair,very durable canvas perfect for outdoor events. Holds up to 800 lbs. that’s amazing I have never seen an outdoor chair hold that much weight. My husband is a 300 lb. guy so yeah he’s pretty big and has trouble using the regular cheap ones she says they are not comfortable for him he would love this one.
Sandra K VanHoey says
Wow holds p to 800 lbs, amazing! I have purchased many of the cheap ones before they do not last at all. This looks wonderful
Eugene Oleo says
Very portable!
Susan Campbell says
I love the extra wide dimensions!
Lynne Clay says
Looks comfortable and sturdy. My son is a larger induvidual so this would be perfect for him.
Lauryn Rescoe says
This chairs look awesome! My family and I love to go camping as well, and have definitely gone through a lot of chairs as well. Through kids and my husband, who is over 200lbs, they usually don’t last us long. I think it’s incredible that these can hold up to 800lbs!
marnie ward says
There are several things I like about the King Kong Chair but the one I like the most is that it is made for those who might be a little rough and tough on the chair. This chair would also be great for taking with us on outings such as picnics, parting, camping and baseball games.
Rebecca Swenor says
Looks so comfy. I love how big they are. ty 🙂
Mary Hilsenbeck says
I am pleased that they are making chairs for people who weigh more and that won’t fall apart. A lot of them are so flimsy. Was glad to learn this one is so sturdy. Was it easy to get in and out of?
Powered by Mom says
Hi Mary,
It’s easy to get out a little more work to put back in the bag but once you’ve done it a few times it’s even easier 🙂
Mary Hilsenbeck says
One more question-does it sit real high? I am only 5’1 and want a chair where my feet won’t dangle
