Giz Wiz Video Of The Week: The "Amazing(?)" Pocket Chair.

You've probably seen the commercial for the Amazing Pocket Chair, it’s the chair that lets you sit anywhere! And it’s not only the chair “As Seen On TV”, it’s also the chair that fits in your pocket. That’s assuming you have a pocket about 10” deep and 6.5” wide; a pocket that can hold more than a pound and a half! Once the Pocket Chair is unfolded and locked in position (and wow, is that a chore – be sure the watch the video) you can then take a seat anywhere (along as it’s flat and smooth). But once seated, don’t move around, because the seat area is only 6” wide. The company says it’s ultra strong and can hold up to 250 lbs. But how comfortable is 250 pounds on a seat that’s 6” wide and 12” long. Also the chair is only about a foot off the ground once it’s assembled, so you have to lower yourself a lot to sit. It’s not that easy getting up and off the Pocket Chair either. The instructions include lots of warnings about ‘watching your fingers’ when you assemble it, not falling off it, or exceeding the weight limit which “may result in death or serious injury”. A fun chair indeed. I guess it is better than no chair, but watch the video and read the Amazing Pocket Chair reviews on Amazon before you decide. As one reviewer put it: “The Amazing part is that they sell it!” Me? I like the nice red color of the seat.
