If I continue to be good, Santa should be bringing me one of these this Christmas.
http://www.amazon.com/ALPS-OutdoorZ-8418001-Turkey-Realtree/dp/B001G7QX9I
$28.64 + Free Prime Shipping.
They are now showing a slightly higher price.
I was originally looking at the $12.99 Cabela's Gobbler Longer, but they are out of stock. The ALPS also has a weight capacity of 300lb. vs., I think, 200 or 225 for the Cabela's Gobbler Lounger.
Being a "Portly Stout" build, I'm more inclined to the 300lb. capacity.
Looks like it has good reviews, as did the Cabela's.
I'll report back after Christmas with a review.

Ok.....time for my review.
In one word.......SOLID!
This product seems to be very well made.
Strong stitching.
Strong material.
Very solid frame (important for us "big guys").
Not the lightest thing to carry, but that is probably why it is so solid. (6.5 lbs.)
A bit on the large size to carry, but again, it's not some teeny wobbly thing.
LIFETIME GUARANTEE.......not sure how good the company is at backing this up, but promising to see this.
Is much better made than almost any "chair" I have seen.
I think it was well worth the price and should give quite a few years service.
Only downside (which I knew), is made in China.......but that's another topic.

Those of you that are of the "larger" size, this is one you may want to consider.

Thanks for listening,
Harold

Update..........
As of 04/28/2016 I've used this approx. 1 dozen times scouting/listening?
5 Stars all around
Solid
Quiet
Fairly easy to carry
Very comfortable
Did I mention....SOLID. Not like some wobbly piece of crap.
Can't wait to use it during the upcoming season
