Hi guys looking at getting one of these really like the look of it but a quick couple of questions been and looked at the recliner today and now not sure
1 so goes to shop and found the chair all the legs extended right up tried to pop them down and 2 out 4 legs the mechanism was jammed tight and wouldn't close so my question is has anyone else experienced this
2 it was also the recliner version and where the recliner mechanism met the chair it seemed loosely fitted moving around anyone had a problem with this breaking
Chap in the tackle shop said it wasn't a return and said they do get bounced on and fiddled with but surely they can take more abuse than a shop floor

I've got the normal version and the legs are fine on it and the same on the solar bedchair I own.They are really well made and the sofa chair is really comfy

I have sat in mine all weekend and no aches or pains,I would definitely buy the recliner.It wasn't available when I got the normal one,I can imagine on a nice summers evening having a nice snooze reclined back on it

The recliner mechanism is the bit that puts me off. I dosent look robust enough. If i got one it would be the standard version as never recliney current c-tec chair at that reclines.

I've got the compact one and the legs have been fine on it since I got it back in June. If I crank the front legs right up, it's pretty much reclined as much as I'd want it to anyway.
I can't comment on the recliner model as it wasn't available when I bought mine. I would still buy the same one now anyway, by far the best and most comfortable chair I've ever had.

I see Fox have today launched a clone of the Sofa chair.
The makers of these chairs mst be having a right laugh, won't be long before ones available at half the price but without the branding..... naturally it'll be crap without the Carp Tax!

Same, I bought mine recently when Browns were having that 30% off clearance sale.
I considered the recliner but didn't like the look of the strength of the additional workings. Also I didn't really need that functionality.
As Vossy says, Fox released a VERY similar looking chair recently (?today?) I saw the clip on Facebook with Mozza promoting it.
I did like the fact it had some basic little pockets either side (would be handy for keys / remote receiver). The pockets could be pushed up under the seat if you didn't want them hanging down where they stayed due to Velcro

I think the dimensions of the fox chair are similar to the compact solar chair not as big as the standard guys

Give the factory a chance, that's next
Actually the Nash Compacts probably next....yes that's the cynic in me.
Wasn't the Solar order compact, sofa, recliner...thinking about it?
Funny, at least 10 years ago on here, when by the way we couldn't be classed as old (not that you can be classed as old now...that makes you ageist....lol) we were asking for comfier chairs and taller bivvies...hmm.....ahead of the trend again!
