Monarch All-Terrain Legless Chair

These chairs are the perfect size and weight for me to carry backpacking. The 2 legg style is unbeatable in functionality and comfortable to use anywhere. I've napped in this chair often. Highly suggest giving it a try for your setup.

We bought two of the chairs at least 20 years ago. They are incredibly comfortable and light. We have kayaked with them, travelled to Australia and Europe with them and often get lots of comments.
Now our grandchildren use them when we head to the beach.
I have had to replace a metal tube on each of them but apart from that they are the best.
One caveat. Now we are getting older it is hard to stand up from a low profile chair. We will have to find something higher!

I highly recommend the Monarch Chair. We have been using ours for many years, they are lightweight, compact, sturdy, comfortable and very versatile. There is a bit of a learning curve getting in and out of the chair as it is quite close to the ground and only has two legs (your feet are the other legs), but it is well worth getting used to (which doesn't take long) as the chair has a number of really strong positives because of this. It can comfortably be used on uneven and/or sloped terrain and on sand, we have used our chairs in lots of places that a 4 leg chair wouldn't be possible or would be unstable. Depending on where in the chair you place your bottom, you can sit bolt upright for eating a meal, slouch down for comfort or really stretch out for star gazing, you can rock the chair if you want. You can also use the chair as a backrest for sitting up in your tent by laying the chair on its back on your sleeping pad, sitting on the back and leaning against the seat, this is really nice for reading while stormbound.

I researched light weight chairs before buying the Monarch All-Terrain Legless Chair and yeah there are others out there that are equal in weigh. But why pay that price, when Grand Trunk delivers quality and value at a price that fits everyone's budget. I read the reviews and they are right. It's a great chair. So far I love it. It's so comfortable and relaxing. The idea of the two leg thing is a bit intimidating at first until you sit in it and you naturally recline into position. Then it's like, wow I get it. Perfect chair, thanks Grand Trunk.

In our family we have a rating system... if my wife takes it, it is 5 stars. Of coarse I was ridiculed for buying a 2 legged chair.... and as soon as I set it up at the camp site I lost it to the critic. The pros: it packs small, easy to set up, comfortable. The only con I can think of is it is not a good chair for tending your cook stove or anything that requires leaning forward. I can live with that... enjoy

Love the practical and durable design, and it’s comfortable too! Everyone in my family is getting one for Christmas.

I love this chair. I have three of these. They are super light, super small, and super comfortable. They are not hard to balance at all (I've fallen asleep in one before). I'm 6' and 200 lbs, works fine. They also work on uneven ground, unlike four-leg chairs. I often have this on a slope and it works great, as long as you sit facing the slope. This is the kind I gear that is great, but different, so I'm always worried it'll be discontinued. Please, keep making this chair. These are great for families as four of these is the same size as one of the "full size" four-legged, backed camp chairs. We used to take these to my kids' soccer games because I could fit 3-4 of them in one medium-size backpack.

Fast delivery. Great chair!

Really appreciate the chair. Saw that another satisfied owner wrote that you can turn the chair around and sit on the backrest and have the seat as a backrest, I appreciate that even more when I have to sit in a low tent and cook or read. Then I put a sleeping/sitting mat under or in the chair since you are sitting directly on the ground.
Another selling point, tip, show with a picture in the webshop.

Compact and lightweight. Very simple and quick to put together without issues. Once you get a hang of getting in and out of it, it'll be the only chair you want to use. Love it.

Great chair — comfortable, light, well-made, packs small, unique design.

This is a super-light and easy to carry and setup hiking / bike camping chair. The chair is very comfortable. I imagined I would be sitting in a state of low-anxiety while teetering on the edge of a backwards fall as soon as I relaxed a bit. The ergonomics are more stable than that. Your legs hold you pretty steady and I don't feel like I am one step away from loosing my balance. One point worth making is that the chair can be lain down on the ground, allowing you to likewise, sit on the ground, and lean back using the seat or seat-back as support. I tried this and it feels comfortable, giving good back support. In this position, obviously, you can't fall over. I can't comment on durability, unfortunately, because I have had it only for a few weeks.

Thank you grand trunk. All the issues I found with the Alite chair you addressed even making it a Skosh bigger moving the vertical supports out making it more comfy. Good job, A+, great chair.

Fun to sit on, super light and portable. I ordered 4 of them to take on bouldering trips with my buddies. They all loved them

We take these camping and they are a big hit for the kids around the campfire!

Bought 2 of these for my husband for Christmas. We were amazed by the build quality and details. Looking forward to our upcoming backpacking trip and the weight savings we’re getting after trading our other chairs for these! They’re fun to sit in and our families(who are not outdoorsy) are kind of amazed at how these work!

Its cool and unique

these chairs are awesome! I think they are so fun and easy to put together. Love being able to rock and lean back! I will say that these probably aren’t best if you need to get up and down frequently or if you don’t want to be pretty low to the ground.

Best customer service ever!

Nice lightweight very comfortable during a 15 mile hike my bro like that so much I had to buy him one.love it

Comfortable, light, simple, and good looking. The two legs make it so you can fidget, rock, and readjust into many different positions. Very easy to put up and take down.

This chair is perfectly lightweight, compact, and durable, making it a must add to your pack on any adventure. Whether you're headed up to the crag for a day, out on a backpacking trip, or sitting around the campfire, this chair provides comfort and stability - no matter the surface you are sitting on!

13 years ago I bought a Monarch camping chair by Alite. The best camping chair I've ever owned. The other day it finally succumbed to my years of abuse. It's ok. It lived a full and adventurous life. Learning that Alite had sadly gone out of business and the Monarch was no longer available, I accepted the fact that I would now be sitting on the ground for the rest of my life. Then along came Grand Trunk. Not only do they sell my beloved Monarch chair, they've made it better, stronger and faster. Steve Austin vibes, people. It's light and packs up small. Grand Trunk's customer service is stellar and shipping was quick. You'll really dig this chair.

These are the lightest, coolest camping chairs on the planet.
Big shout-out to Grand Trunk for picking up the Alite baton and running with it.

These are small and light. Both are easy to relax in with only the two legs, but the optional attached front legs are a nice touch and easy to use on the Mayfly. Haven't been to the beach yet, but going next week and I think these will fit my needs great. I can fit both of them in my computer messenger bag and still have room for my computer and accessories.

I have had a Monarch chair for ten years without any flaws. It has been on ten week long and many weekend trips. It is the luxury item that has never stayed at home.
I lost one of the rubber feet and contacted Grand Trunk. They offered me 50% off on the purchase of a new Monarch. I jumped on that and anticipate ten more years of THE PERFECT CHAIR FOR BACKPACKING.
TIP: Lean your bacpack against a tree or rock, lean while in the chair against the backpack and take a nap!
Thank You Grand Trunk for continuing to offer the Monarch in your line of chairs.

Chair seems bigger and sturdier than my wife's rei chair. The 2 leg setup allows you to rock and adjust your incline to a more comfortable angle vs fixed leg chairs. The balls on the legs don't sink in soft soil like other chairs.So even though it only has 2 legs, it seems more stable. I have 2 gripes. 1. The fabric is tight and getting that last leg in the pocket takes some muscle. 2. Getting into the chair initially takes a little more skill vs a 4 leg chair. Love the design, weight (1lb 5 oz in the bag) and small size. Definitely makes backpacking a little more comfortable.
