I've seen these: http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/camping-equipment/furniture/coleman-u-seat-inflatable-chair/COREAFAB203294

Anyone know if they're any good and how much weight they can take?

Tentguy are you near Wath-upon-Dearn and Brampton?

I sure am, I'm in Bolton-upon-Dearne which is next door to Wath :-)

Re: The Coleman U Chair.

There have been a few threads about this, and the general consensus is always in the negative. The main complaint is that it punctures or deflates easily.

We have one and can’t fault it for lounging about. It is no good for sitting at a camping table for a meal however.

I’ve just looked at the instruction book and there is no spec that states a maximum weight load; it may state it on the box, but I don’t know where that is – but can guess: buried under a ton of camping gear.

I'd agree with Road Hog on Oxford's GO. It's my local and although the staff have always been helpful and polite IMO, the shop is cramped, badly organised, lot's of bare shelves and the tent selection very limited to quick pitchers and 2 person upstairs, and a scant selection cramped onto gravel outside.

I've only ever visited the one in Wigan so don't know how this store compares to any of the others... They extended the outdoor display area at the end of last season so they got a few more tents pitched. This time of year they have some great deals on clothing... Even after i've searched the internet i always find myself going back to the shop to make my purchase coz they'll beat any price by 10%...

And of course just up the road in Standish there is a Yeomans where the service is fab and last years tent displays were errrrrrrm Outwell, Outwell and more Outwell

Me and OH had our first ever trip to GoOutdoors (Sheffield) yesterday.

I felt like Harold Carter when he first saw Tutankhamun's tomb lol

We were in there a while and I think we were quite sensible as we only spent £60.

I even got to see a Vango Icarus 500 pitched upstairs. I bought one last month, but I've yet to get it test pitched lol.

Only bad point is that the store is right next to Bramhall Lane football stadium and it was a match day so parking was difficult..............until OH spotted the overspill carpark for GoOutdoors customers lol

I live 10 minutes at a slow stroll from Loughborough GO Outdoors.

When I was on maternity leave I regularly took DD for a browse!

I'd wheel her around the tents and park her up inside the ones I liked the look of and chat to her about the tent features. I think that is why she took to camping so well at such a young age!

Incidently the Loughborough store is OK, but I can't comment too much because I've not been to any others.

Went to the one in coventry today, and bought nothing.  amazing

had a nose round the outwell florida though.  Nice large tent, but didn't think much of the bedroom arrangement
