STEP2GOLD Ta-Da Chair Series 2- Portable Walking Stick, Cane with Seat, Foldable Chair, Hiking Stick, for Camping, Hiking, Lightweight Aluminum, Easy Carry, Anti-Slip

After actually using our Ta-Da chairs on a two week trip to Scotland, I'm upgrading my review from four to five stars.On excursions, we often end up standing for 15 minutes while listening to our guide. We simply and quickly convert the handy, light-weight canes into chairs, which provides a far more pleasant walking/stopping/standing experience.Many on our tour were impressed and asked where we had purchased them.Yes, they're much more expensive than competitors, but this is the real deal: lightweight and supports us, ahem, "oversized" people.You won't be able to pack them in luggage, but they come with a convenient carrying pouch that can be slung over your back. (TSA is somewhat perplexed to encounter the pouches, which could be used to disguise a rifle or sword, but once the officer sees what's inside, there's no issue making it through security.)I just ordered this item, and haven't yet used it in real time. However, I tried it out. Here's my initial reaction:1. It's expensive. I don't mind paying a premium price, providing it's an outstanding product.2. Is it an outstanding product? Not quite sure, at least not yet.3. I'm impressed that it's lightweight and, indeed, is sufficiently compact to serve as both a cane and a chair.4. However, it's a bit tricky to actually sit down. And, my experimental attempt was on our living room floor. My guess is that it will not inspire confidence on on-even or soft surfaces. (With that said, the instructions suggest that useage should be limited to even, hard, level surfaces.)5. It seems to be well made, fairly sturdy, and easy to turn from a cane into a seat.I'll update my review after I actually use this product.So, we're tried this out. It's expensive. I'm not sure the extra expense is worth it, but we're so pleased that I ordered a second unit for my wife.It's sturdy, light-weight and easy to set up.We plan to take this on our next trip, which will be to Scotland. I'll report our experience upon our return.

I purchased this portable walking stick with a seat for my mom, and she really likes it. It is lightweight, easy to use, and gives her the option to sit down and rest when needed.The foldable design makes it convenient to bring along, and the included carrying case is a great feature for storage and travel. It is easy to take with us without feeling bulky or difficult to manage.My mom appreciates having the extra support of a walking stick while also having a seat available when she needs a break. It has been a practical and helpful item for her.Overall, this is a well-designed, lightweight, and convenient product that has worked very well for my mom.

I like the design and construction of this chair. It is much more convenient to use than the ones that fold and you still have three legs to contend with. My only complaint is that the seat is not comfortable to seat on, therefore, I made a cushion and attached it to the seat. I also need back support so I took a belt, made it smaller and then wrapped it around my waist and attached it to the top pole below the handle.

Just received this today and I'm really pleased! I wanted something to take when I am going to have to wait in lines and for walks, as I have lumbar problems but I can walk more if I can just sit for a minute sometimes. I think it's going to be great. It sets up and folds down in just a moment, and requires no strength to do it. It's lighter than I even expected, very easy to carry. I am only 5 foot 2, so I bought the shortest one, and it is just the right length for me to use as a cane if I need to. As of now I don't need to use a cane, although I do use a trekking pole for anything more than a short walk on a totally flat surface, and I think this can replace the trekking pole for medium grade walks. I would probably not take this on very difficult or rocky terrain, but I can't really do that kind of hiking anymore anyway. To sit on, the Ta-Da Cane is extremely stable. It feels safer than a lot of flimsy folding chairs I have sat on! Obviously it is not quite as stable on grass or an uneven surface but if you are careful you can still do it. I wish it was a little less expensive so more people could have it. The only thing I might add is a wrist strap. There's a plastic part that comes out of the handle to hang it on the back of your chair, but it's not comfortable to hang off your wrist. That's minor though. Overall I'm very pleased; I think it's going to greatly improve my comfort and my ability to get out and do things... and not let my back pain limit my life.

Although I've only used this cane/chair around the house to be sure I ordered the correct height (haven't decided yet if I want it to be a little taller but think this will be fine), I can tell that it's easy to open and close, and supports my weight securely. I plan on keeping it in my trunk to use when I know I'll have to stand in line for more than a couple of minutes, or for places like the farmer's market where I know I'll need to sit down briefly and there aren't any places to sit. It's light weight and well-made.

I have arthritis in both knees. Whenever I go for a walk, if I walk too far or fast without taking a break...it usually ends in a flare up. Recently, I walked and was not able to sit down along the way. When I got home, my knees hurt for the next couple days. Been searching for a solution now for quite some time and I'm happy to say I found it. This allows me to take a break whenever and wherever I need it. At first, I ordered the medium size, but it was just a tad too short to use as a cane. So now I have the taller one and it is perfect. I will say that it is a bit heavier than a regular cane but nothing cumbersome or anything like that. It's so quick and easy to open and close. And the seat works! I'm 225 lbs and it has no issues holding me. This thing is very well constructed. But most importantly, it has enabled me to extend my walks by literally giving me the ability to stop and rest as needed. I can now go on walks with my wife again. If you have mobility issues or just need the ability to stop and sit down as needed...this could be your answer as well.

I just received mine and unboxed it.I am 5'2 and got the 32.2" model. The height is fine for me. The legs deploy easily and the seat height of 19 1/4" at the front and 20" at the back is fine for me and relatively easy to get back up from. It also folds back up easily. The mechanism seems to work well. The weight overall is good.BUT ... I find the hard plastic handle to be too hard on my hand. I wish it were more ergonomic and possibly padded or made of a softer material shaped to your hand.My major objection is the seat. For whatever reason, the company chose to insert its company name together with a honeycomb pattern on an 8" long x 1 1/4" wide gray insert that runs down the center of the 10 1/4" deep seat. These markings are raised. My boney posterior can feel every single one of those bumps and lumps, making it incredibly uncomfortable to sit on. The seat is approximately 9" wide overall, but the edges are curved down so the actual area that provides support is only about 7 1/2" wide. It just isn't comfortable. Not even for a few minutes.The only thing I can think to do is to use gorilla tape over that entire insert and then add a layer of 1/4" thick closed cell neoprene cut into 3 sections (like the seat) and then attach them with velcro or a contact glue of some sort as a cushion. In any event, it's going to cost me more to make this usable for me.I'm quite disappointed ... this isn't an inexpensive mistake.

Haven't used it yet but I was impressed that it was easy to use and mostly met my expectations. The actual seat may not be comfortable for 30 minutes of sitting, but maybe I can find a way to bring a cushion with me. It's definitely portable, and sturdy. I measured optimal seating height to make sure I chose the optimal size.
