XGEAR Deluxe Low Back Boat Seat, Fold-Down Fishing Boat Seat (2 Seats) blue

Overview:In the midst of our boat's mini-renovation, the hunt for new seats brought me to the XGEAR High Back Boat Seat. They've become a welcomed addition to our boating experience, and while they have some areas that could be improved upon, they serve their purpose well.Pros:Perfect Fit for Smaller Spaces: If you’re working with limited space, these seats might be just the solution. Their compact design made them a seamless fit for our boat, ensuring we didn't compromise on functionality.Functional Design: The fold-down mechanism is intuitive and smooth, making storage and space management on the boat easier. It’s evident these were designed with practicality in mind.Comfort with Posture Correction: While they might not be the plushiest seats on the market, they provide decent comfort. What's more, they naturally encourage an upright posture, ensuring long hours on the water don’t leave you with a sore back.Swivel and Pedestal Integration: Adding these seats to a swivel and pedestal was a game changer. The ability to effortlessly turn and engage with fellow passengers adds a social dynamic to boating trips – perfect for those picnic lunches or casual conversations on the water.Cons:Questionable Upholstery Durability: Although the seats are aesthetically pleasing, the upholstery does give off a vibe of being on the cheaper side. Prolonged exposure to harsh sun might lead to quicker wear and tear than premium options, although our boat cover might mitigate this concern to some extent.Overly Upright Positioning: While the straight-up seating can be seen as a positive for posture, it might not suit everyone, especially those looking for a more relaxed, lounge-style seat.Final Thoughts:The XGEAR High Back Boat Seat has found its niche in our boat's new setup. They may not be luxury seating, but they're functional, reasonably comfortable, and make social interactions on board simpler and more enjoyable. Given their affordable price point, they’re a solid choice for those looking for a short to medium-term seating solution.Would I recommend them? Yes, especially for smaller boats or for those who need a practical seating solution that won't break the bank. Just be sure to manage expectations in terms of long-term durability and ultra-comfort.

Very unsatisfied with thse boat seats seams were ripped when we received it. Under the seat it was sewn properly. Still waiting on a refund from aamzon since July 18th. Not a happy customer.

My neighbor and I like to sit on our dock. We used to have plastic lawn chairs, but those quickly got brittle and would blow around in the wind without being held in place by a metal cable. These are fantastic. They’re very comfortable, and can be easily folded and snapped shut or removed for bad weather by pulling the pin in the post. They also free up a lot of space compared to what we had before. They’re also much better than a wooden built in option. They obviously are made for outdoor use for boats and can stand the elements. The stitching and quality is nice. With the posts and swivels they can easily accommodate an adult over 200 lbs. The seats do come with hardware to affix them to a post. We bought the posts and swivels that were recommended as items often “purchased together.” You will need to buy additional hardware to affix the swivel to the post and the post to your boat or whatever you plan to mount them to.

They are thick and super comfortable they should last a few years for me as I am a guide. Very well built

Quality is good, just smaller than I expected. The seats are smaller than the seats currently in the boat so looks a little off. Not sure how comfortable they will be sitting on them all day because of the size but will give them a try.
