Alite Monarch Chair Review

The Alite Monarch is a chair that packs some flair. The chair is made of lightweight nylon and mesh that makes it ideal or backpacking, or just hanging around the campfire. We found the best use is for car camping as we often find a stump or log to sit on, but if you want something comfy for your hinny, the Alite Monarch is a great option. The Monarch holds 250 lbs., so those that are a little more big boned, this may not be the best fit for you, but this should work for the majority of you out there. What we liked best about the chair is the feeling of being able to rock back in your chair without getting in trouble! That’s a big plus in our book. Keep an eye out for more creative products by Alite Designs as they are an extremely creative group.
