This is a unique item...that is absolutely lives up to its name of the "Ta-Da" Chair. As the seat popping out....is almost like a magic trick...and so easy to do. I have an energy limiting illness..and it takes pretty much 0 effort or strength...to make the seat come out. It just somehow sortof pops out....on its own. using gravity to some degree..as soon as you turn the unlock on the cane and gently push down. Really impressive, so quick..and so easy...even I could do it with no issue.The problem for me though is just that its a bit too heavy to actually walk around with as a cane. As I have an energy limiting illness I am slowly recovering from. Its not that heavy, but the energy needed to carry it and use a cane for a long distance..is just not very usable for me. Its just a bit too heavy for that, for me. But...it comes with a really convenient and sturdy black carrying bag...and that feels pretty doable when slung over my shoulder. As the weight is then dispered throughout my body and shoulders as I walk. So I could definitely handle carrying it around over my shoulder...and then deploying it as needed.The seat itself I also found surprisingly comfy for a cane-chair. Although I am not a big or large person at 5'6 150. But I could be comfortable in such seat for probably 30-60 minutes before wanting to get up or adjust. Its a bit like a bike seat, maybe just a tad bigger so somewhat comfortable..but again, I am not a large person so someone bigger than me might not find it as comfortable, im not sure. and one concern is the seat can rock back and forth a little, as you move on it and esp as I sat on it backwards without knowing it essentially. It is recommended to sit facing the somehwat protuding top part of the pole (again sortof like a bike where you have a handle or something to grab in front of you.) But I was fine and comfortable sitting on it backwards as well without needing to hold on to the pole, but I am also pretty agile and otherwise well coordinated.This is also really useful just in my apartment for an extra seat if I need to rest and plop down in the middle of my apartment...I can leave it against the wall folded up...and have a seat ready to sit on at any moment. So this can fill a number of roles for people. I can see it being very useful for things such as air travel, when you have to wait in line for a long time...or any scenario with a long wait in line...this will be pretty much perfect for that. As well as times you might not need to walk super far...but will want a seat, and esp one that you can get up and take with you. Very ingenius.So I would definitely recommend this to anyone who does not have an energy limiting illness, and people who are average body sized or so, as the seat will be plenty comfy for smaller and average sized people I think. As for elderly users, there is a little concern with how the seat can wobble so elderly users would have to be careful in how they sit down and get up from using it..and will depend on how otherwise mobile someone is. But again, it is so easy to deploy, and overall not that heavy. (for normal energy people) Its similiar..to pushing out and opening an umbrella....so easy.Its a really unique item that I will definitey be using for various scenarios, and I would definitely recommend it for certain users and scenarios, but will depend on size + comfort in sitting down and standing up from a comfy bike seat type seat essentially.

I already owned the "Series 2" Ta-Da folding chair from Step2Gold, so when the chance to check out the Series 1 came up, I had to jump at the chance. This review will be a sort of comparison between the 2 chairs, so you can decide which one might be the way to go. Let's look at how the 2 differ.Deployment - both chairs are pretty easy to unfold and refold, but there are key operational differences. With the Series 2, you unclip the seat and push on the lever where indicated. With the Series 1, there's a collar you have to twist to the "unlock" position, and then unfold the chair. Both are pretty simple to use, but the Series 2 is definitely a bit easier and more intuitive. Not that it's a night and day comparison, it really isn't. If I had to give it a numerical value for ease of use, I would say the Series 2 is around a 9 in ease of use (extremely easy), whereas the Series 1 is maybe an 8. Still not hard at all.Size and weight - the Series 1 takes the gold here, because it's slightly smaller and lighter than the Series 2. If you're looking for something light and compact, the Series 1 is definitely the way to go.Weight capacity - the lighter build of the Series 1 means it can't take quite as much weight as the Series 2 (265lbs vs 300lbs), so if weight capacity is a concern, the Series 2 is definitely where you want to go.Comfort - I find both the Series 1 and Series 2 to be pretty much equal in comfort - they're both quite pleasant to sit on, and neither really takes first place here. They're pretty much equal.Additional features - the main standout feature of the Series 2 is the built-in phone holder. I'm a big fan of that, so if you like the idea of having a spot for your smart phone, definitely check out the Series 2. If that's not a concern at all for you, then the Series 1 is a fine choice.Both chairs are quite stable (make sure you sit on them properly), though neither is height adjustable. The chair height seems pretty good for most folks, from my experience, though they may be a bit short for the extremely tall among us.Both the Series 1 and Series 2 are extremely well made and well worth their asking price. Which one you choose will depend on what features you find most important. Both are excellent choices, and I hope this side-by-side comparison helps you decide which one is for you.As a side note, I'm still hoping they come out with an "Ultimate version" made of all carbon fiber. Fingers crossed.5 stars, highly recommend.
