All the support poles come together under your butt, so there's some flex back and forth that you'll want to minimize so as not to break it. Comfy.

Picked up something similar at Daiso USA for $10~. These are more sturdy because the design has more cross bar support points that minimize flexing and bending. 2lbs as well, so even lighter. Really resists bending/flexing while you shift in the chair better.
Comfort. The deal obviously lets you lay back some, so for the lazy lounging.
The one I pointed out sits you up straighter, so for the activities - cooking, eating, fishing, cutting up food, etc. I can still sit in it 2-3 hours without much issue, then a break standing up.
Obviously the lean back on the deal chair will male it tougher to eat at a table - no back support.
The 1 lbs tripod "stools" are even lighter, but really only good for the hour or so sitting t9n watch a parade or short stop. No back support at all, so no way to just relax all the muscles.

They also weigh very little and are very packable. When ever we go on a beach vacation, we throw them in the suitcase. Perfect little lounge chairs for the beach.
That being said, for camping trips, we still take the bigger foldables. They are unquestionably better, but these have a great purpose too.
It's not for backpacking of course, I just liked it at the store and small form factor.

I am 220 lbs and have used this chair for around 5 years. No problem and it can be very comfortable.

Mine are lighter with aluminum poles, but I still consider them too heavy for backpacking. I absolutely agree with others that these Ozark Trail versions with steel poles are in no way shape or form suitable for that purpose.
Back at camp, I'm always glad to have bigger, more substantial chairs (the Slumber Jack one available here recently, for one), but little ones like this are great when portability is important. I'm about 200 pounds and haven't broken my Aldi chair yet, so I see no reason why this one wouldn't hold as much weight. You could spring for a genuine Helinox, but they're pricy and the Ozarks may be nearly as strong. There are also high-back versions available, which are even more comfy and not too expensive. Costco had some on sale recently, and of course you can find them everywhere online.
