Where it makes sense
The King Kong offers a documented 19-inch seat height and an 800-pound manufacturer capacity, making it a practical candidate when a low backpacking seat is the wrong starting point. The useful buying question is still personal fit: height and capacity cannot tell you whether the seat supports your legs or whether you can rise comfortably. Its 13-pound weight and long packed bundle make this a deliberate car-camping choice. Measure the vehicle opening before committing to several chairs, and remember that transporting a family set changes the volume calculation more than choosing a single chair for yourself.
The tradeoff
A 13-pound chair with a 40-inch packed length is cumbersome for long carries
