Chair One is excellent at a car camp and defensible on a short overnight if your base weight is low. It is a bad idea on a first overnight when the tent pitch is still new. The frame is strong for the weight and unhappy if you reef on it sideways. A sit pad is the honest ultralight substitute.
Who should buy it. Car campers, and light backpackers who sit in camp for hours.
Best for. Backpackers who will actually carry a chair, and car campers
Standout limitation. Still a luxury in a backpack
