Do you have a camping chair you can’t leave the house without grabbing? For me, it’s the folding GCI Outdoor® Freestyle Rocker Chair. It is said that it allows you to quickly fall into sheer relaxation due to the fact that the kinetic motion of rocking releases endorphins that improve mood and physical well-being. I don’t know if all of that is true, but you get the point. It’s been my #1 go-to chair for over 2 years now. Whether we are in the backyard grilling or off on an adventure, this chair is awesome! It is designed with a spring-action rocking technology to smoothly move back and forth as you take in the fresh air. You might be a little caught off guard when you try it out for the first time, because it does rock back a good ways. But never fear, it has not dumped anyone yet. With its sturdy, powder-coated steel frame and wide base, it is very stable and supports up to 250 lbs. It folds flat with a built-in carry handle so you can take it anywhere you go. And let us not forget, it has a built-in cup holder to hold your frosty beverage when needed.
