It works out pretty good for me. The difference in mine is that it has adjustable legs so it can be used on uneven terrain! It also pancakes and can be slung across your back much like a rifle. Uses cloth for the seat and the back rest. I also have a modification in mind to put a foot rest on it but I havent mad that mod yet. Mine is made out of 3/4 inch thin wall conduit and denim camo cloth. I weighed it once and i'm not sure but I think it weighs 8 and 1/2 lbs, and when collapsed for transport it was 3 inches thick, 25 inches tall and 12 er 14 inches wide, the corners are cut, midered and welded instead of bent so you have more setting space for it's size than you would if the corners were bent. Its not like setting in a lazy boy but it's pretty comfortable to be homemade for outdoor use.
