I recently picked up the Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool specifically for my fishing adventures, thinking it would be the perfect lightweight and portable seating solution for both boat trips and jetty fishing. Overall, I'm quite pleased with its core functionality, though there are a few things potential buyers should keep in mind, echoing some experiences I've seen from others. The first thing that impressed me was just how lightweight and portable this stool truly is. Collapsing down to a mere 2.5 inches, it easily slips into my tackle bag or can be comfortably carried using the integrated nylon-web handle or the handy, storable shoulder strap. This makes it an absolute winner for anyone who prioritizes packability for activities like camping, hiking, or, in my case, fishing and BBQing. Setting it up is generally easy and quick. The "accordion" style opening using the finger holes is intuitive, and I appreciate the slight twist that locks it securely at the desired height. Being able to adjust it to intermediate heights is a nice feature, offering flexibility beyond the standard full extension of about 17.75 inches, which is a comfortable sitting height for me. The nearly 10-inch diameter seat feels perfectly adequate for my needs and doesn't feel restrictive. The advertised 400lbs load capacity gives me a significant sense of security, especially when using it on a boat where balance can sometimes be a factor. It certainly appears to be sturdily made and, as advertised, it does feel more robust than some other lightweight folding stools I've seen. The availability in a wide variety of colors is also a nice touch. However, mirroring some feedback from other users, the durability does seem to be a point to monitor. While it feels solid initially, some have reported issues with it falling apart upon breaking. I haven't encountered this myself yet, but it's a concern I'll definitely keep in mind with continued use. The ease of opening and closing is also something where experiences seem to vary. Personally, I found the accordion mechanism and the twist-to-lock system relatively straightforward to operate after a couple of tries. However, I can see how some might find it a bit fiddly at first, so be prepared for a potential learning curve. Finally, the manufacturer's explicit warning about avoiding use on sloping ground is crucial. For my purposes on relatively flat boat decks and jetties, this isn't a major concern. However, if you intend to use this for hiking or in areas with uneven terrain, definitely heed their advice to test the stability carefully before fully sitting down. For my primary use of fishing (on both the boat and jetty), the Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool has proven to be a surprisingly useful and convenient addition to my gear. The portability and ease of setup are fantastic, and the high weight capacity offers peace of mind. Just be mindful of the potential durability concerns highlighted by some users and the limitations regarding uneven surfaces. I'd recommend this to others looking for a lightweight and portable seating solution for various outdoor activities, but advise them to handle it with reasonable care to maximize its lifespan.

This is a great portable stool or table for many uses. It folds up into a convenient size, and then it expands to a quality seat. I bought it thinking that I would use it for mobile massage, but I realized that many times I needed to move more doing seated work. I was picking the stool up and moving it. I still use it for a portable table or when I am needing a stationary seat. It's good for outdoor events or concerts where seating isn't provided. If seats are allowed, these are easy to carry.

Every time we pull these out when guests are over, they always say, “Wow! Where did you get those?” Funny enough, that’s exactly how we got hooked on them too. These stools are surprisingly sturdy and adjust to all kinds of heights, which is perfect for our small apartment. My husband and I use them at the dining table, outside, and even at our coffee table. Then, when we're done, they fold up and stow away super easily. So convenient!

It works. My lower back gets very sore after 10 minutes or so of walking. This little device was just two inches short of perfect for resting a spell and relieving the pain. If they made one that pulled out to 9 inches high, I would buy it instead {I am just under 6 feet tall}. But, if I lost this one, I would buy it again. The first time I tried to pull it open I thought I needed to twist it to unlock it but got used to it after just a couple of cycles of opening, locking and using. It does look a little lo like you are sitting on a porta potty but keep your clothes on and I doubt you'll have any problems on that account. I think it would be improved by lengthening the shoulder strap to make it easier to get off from around the shoulder and neck, and /or using a snap lock buckle so you could just pinch the buckle to release the strap. It does have a short loop handle too, but then that requires committing one hand to carry it which cancels the hands-free convenience of the strap if you chose to use it.

Arrived well packaged, haven't used it yet, other than sitting on it and happy that it's a bit taller than I expected. Made of plastic or synthetic material like all the other similar stools. I've lost a considerable amount of weight so I'm well below the maximum weight capacity of 400, weighing in at about 230 and it felt plenty sturdy enough for me. I'm planning on using it quite a bit this summer so hopefully it holds up through the season.

I have had increasing panic while out in public and this pop up stool has been really helpful. The way it is carried like a bag or purse over the shoulder when closed up is nice. It is easy and quick to pop up into a stool. I have used it while in long wait lines at the post office and on walks when I suddenly get very tired or feel unwell. This is a great little gadget!

I like this foldable seat very much and I have been using a similar one for my 100 kilogramme disabled child from same brand in my trips for over 4 years and that seat is still functional,but the strap was loose because of holding nails, otherwise I will still use it .

I found it works great at work to reach upper areas and is solid to stand on. Makes a great seat to sit on when no chairs are available. I like the color and style. I bought the square top one. It’s very lightweight and the size is perfect for my needs.Time will tell if it’s worth the money, so far it’s been working great. I use it five days a week.

The Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool has quickly gone from "nice to have" to "can't live without" in my daily life. Whether it’s camping weekends, outdoor concerts, or even just needing a quick seat while working in the garden, this stool delivers in ways I didn’t expect. Strength Meets Smart Design: First off, don’t let the compact size fool you. This thing is rock solid. Thanks to Boreeman’s upgraded structural design, it easily holds full adult weight without any wobble. I was amazed at how secure it feels, even on slightly uneven ground. The way it folds out with a simple twist motion and locks into place is smooth and incredibly satisfying. True Portability: It’s super lightweight, and the built-in adjustable strap means I can just sling it over my shoulder and forget it’s there until I need it. It’s smaller than a frisbee when collapsed — perfect for tossing into the car, backpack, or even a tote bag. Adjustable for Comfort: One thing I love is that you can adjust the height depending on what you need. Whether I’m resting during a hike or using it as a mini table for gear setup, it's incredibly versatile. Durability That Lasts: After months of use (and a few accidental drops), it still looks and works like new. The materials are high quality and weather-resistant — no weird creaking or bending after repeated use. Final Thoughts: The Boreeman Upgraded Folding Stool proves that brilliant design doesn't need to be complicated. It’s tough, it’s portable, it’s convenient — honestly, it’s the sidekick you didn’t know you needed. If you spend any time outdoors, travel, or just want a reliable "anywhere" seat, do yourself a favor and grab one. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Bought as a shower stool while I'm on crutches for a couple weeks. Literally just use it to sit on for 10 minutes a day. After a week of use, the thing broke while I was sitting on it. Fortunately didn't hurt myself but definitely no what I expected. I thought the product was really cool and I would use it for the range and camping but not anymore!

My stool does not extend to it's fullest extension as there are 2 parts that do not extend. I have tried multiple times but it just will not fully open. I am very disappointed as I need this for medical reasons

This is very delicate. It broke after second use. NO SERVICE CENTRE IN MUMBAI FOR UNDERTAKING REPAIRS. MONEY WASTED. DO NOT BUY THIS HOPELESS DISAPPOINTING ITEM

Worst product and INFERIOR quality please do not buy after three or fourth folding broken and bottom spring come out.
