It’s a great chair!

STEFANIE S.

So glad we finally upgraded! Easy to carry, fold and shade. No regrets here!

Jonathon M.

Quality made and exactly what I was looking for. The canopy comes up and down without any hassle and it folds up very nicely. It is a lot bigger than I expected whenever it’s folded up but using the backpack straps really makes it convenient cause you can barely notice while wearing it.

Daniel L.

Love the chair. Would have given it 5 stars if the side shades were included. For the price of the chair, I think you guys could include those and not charge an additional $20 for two things that should come with it.

Shelby W.

It’s a great chair!

David L.

Nice chair.

Bianca S.

This chair is very sturdy and I think it will last a long time. Two cup holders is great, wish they were deeper for water bottles. Shade/flaps are good. Would be cool if you could connect two chairs to create a wider canopy. It’s heavier than most chairs of this type so the backpack straps help but juggling more than 1x with other items gets cumbersome. I’m 5’2”, so I wish the straps could shorten further. When wearing as a backpack it hits below my knees and gets uncomfortable depending on how long I walk. The straps to close it up are not there type you pinch, you have to press down. With long nails that means using my knuckles and not a quick release. So 4 stars because it’s a solid chair but held back the 5th star because these concerns all seem intuitive to better design.

Bryan S.

The chair is well made and the design and idea is really innovative. The chair definitely feels all of the 16+ lbs it says but when carrying as a backpack it’s manageable for an adult aside from elderly or smaller female maybe. The shade is better than any other all in one design I have seen, cup holders are pretty good too and the extra side clips help (it would be nice if there were extra snaps on top and bottom of each so you could double up one side since you would never need to have one on each side) Also the seat comfort is ok but not great because it slouches a bit like a bucket seat. Fixing this would earn 5 stars for sure. Or even if the seat were 2-3 inches less deep to accommodate avg 5 ft to 5-10 as a size option, And then use current size for taller >6ft.

Joseph W.

This was the fourth chair that I ordered from you guys loved it so much on my original chair that the next two orders were bought for family members best portable chair that I ever own. I take it with me wherever I go comfortable when the sun comes out, I can block the sun. People asked me about it all the time and I tell him I've seen someone with this chair and I google the name in order it and I get nothing but compliments on it thank you on your creative design.

Roberto C.

Awesome tool in all aspects. Practical and great quality.

Charles E.

Seems larger than my first original chair

Mike S.

Great chair for kids soccer games

Alicia C.

Love this chair! Great quality and super comfy. I take it with me everywhere, baseball and soccer. I love that it is a backpack and I can have my hands free to carry other items.

Nicole B.

Perfect for soccer season! Find my yeti in the cup holder! Love that you can accessorize the chairs

Dennis J.

We love these chairs. Nothing on the market compares.

Not too heavy! Super easy to open and close - very convenient!

Bárbara B.

Serving the purpose during the long hours out there in the soccer field watching my son play in the hot and rainy Florida weather.

Kendra B.

Just as it’s advertised. Makes set up and take down at the soccer games much easier.

Kevin S.

I have been on the sidelines of youth soccer for 20yrs. Now my daughter is coaching so add another 7yrs to that. I have been through at least 8-10 chairs that were very poorly crafted. After seeing this Renetto brand every where we go and hearing from countless people about how they loved their Renetto chairs, mywife and I finally bit the bullet and purchased two Renetto’s. Thank you Renetto for making such a well made chair. Best chairs we have ever owned. Kevin S

lauren

Love how easy it folds up to carry and the sahde coverage.

Gregory E.

The chair is excellent.

Steven M.

Pretty cool stuff , I’m seeing a ton of these at the soccer field now. If the next gen rocks or leans back I’ll be back for that too!!!

Bob N.

Just a perfect chair that blocks the sunlight and doesn’t blow off!

Dan

Easy to assemble and disassemble chair. Wife approved. We love these chairs for shade and comfort.

Susan S.

My husband owns a 1968 blue Corvette and he often takes it to outdoor car shows. He needed a new chair with a substantial roof because of the Arizona sun. This chair is sturdy and roomy, and the blue color is almost an exact match to the car!

Aaron H.

The best chair on the market.

Chris B.

I really like this chair. I would recommend

Dale R.

I experienced broken straps on two older model chairs, and when I contacted customer service, they took very good care of the problem. We love the chairs and love the new replacements that we’ve bought.

Brett T.

We ordered three of the chairs after seeing them everywhere at a tennis tournament. The chairs arrived promptly and we used them over the weekend. The chairs were very easy to unpack and pack and the protection from the sun was first rate. The chairs are sturdy. Overall, we were really impressed with the comfort build quality and the ability to be transported easily.

Brandi S.

It's heavier than I thought it would be. Quality seems good. I was hoping it wouldnt tip over as much as my previous shaded chair, but it does.

Stanley C.

The chairs are amazing, but what really sets the company apart is the customer service! Michael is probably the most helpful rep i've ever had the pleasure of working with. Fedex had a delay in my package, and he was on top of it making sure I get my chairs. When I noted a small fastener was missing, he sent it right out. The chairs are top notch quality, well designed and well built. Also very comfortable to wear with the straps. There is a reason why you see Renetto at most kids sports!

JENNIFER L.

From the ordering process, to shipping, to receipt of chair this company has been amazing and so easy to work with! We needed a workhorse folding chair with shade for our daughter’s busy soccer schedule and this chair delivers on every single aspect we need! So comfortable, tons of storage, easy to carry, very sturdy, and an all around perfect tailgate/sports/camping chair. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

K R.

Comfy hair and great shade! Luggable back pack with storage. So far so good but have only used 3x. Already concerned for fabric wearing at a pressure point as the construction was not symmetric(see photos and stressed seat fabric) Would be unhappy if l the chair hardware would create hole where it’s not reinforced by the black pole guard due to construction.

Paul V.

Great chairs easy to haul and provides excellent shade.

Laura G.

Great chair! So easy to set up and take down and very comfortable.

JOHN S.

I purchased my first chair about 10 years ago I now have a total of 7 chairs I only needed to replace one chair in 10 years because the sun broke down the straps to keep the chair closed and they couldn’t be replaced on the latest chair it has removable carrying straps maybe they can make the closing straps removable too so they can be replaced

Robert G.

Love these chairs this is our third one use them at car shows and cruise ins

Rosa P.

The best quality.

Sandra P.

Would have been helpful to have included a little Allen wrench. Had a friend put the wheels on for me. Chair is great now that’ it’s all together.

Ryan D.

These chairs are outstanding!

Adraine U.

buying our 3rd chair. the other 2 have lasted since 2019

Charlie B.

Will be used at numerous grandkids soccer matches.

Vernon J.

It took a few minutes to understand how to pack it up. But, it is an excellent chair. Ray to open and close.

Jennifer I.

Should have bought this years ago!!! The Cadillac of soccer chairs!!

Christine H.

The tailgate edition is great! Purchased to replace the light version and I'm glad I did.

Corinna S.

The chair definitely is solid. What i like best is the attachment of the backpack straps. I have the previous generation chair and was disappointed that after only 20 uses the strap ripped off the back. These straps click into a bracket and appear much more sturdy. They are easy to set up, comfortable and fold up quickly. They are also great in the light rain and with the additional flaps, keep the sun at bay. Great color selection too.

Richard S.

Chair is great

Anna G.

Great chair, super comfy!

Aaron H.

Great chair,

Donald K.

These chairs are wonderful.

Rahul C.

The chairs are easy to carry and are comfortable to sit in. Would highly recommend

Michelle C.

Great Product

Mary B.

We love our new chair. It folds up easily and wraps around itself to pack up to carry. Appears to be made of strong, quality material that is water resistant and will stand up to frequent trips to the soccer fields. Its the perfect size to fit in our trunk horizontally. We purchased one original chair and one lightweight chair, which is perfect for mom to be able to carry the lighter one but still have a quality chair to sit in with good shade.

Mike D.

The chair is very slouchy, unstructured and uncomfortable. Will be returning

Jashei

Chairs are comfortable and very durable. Highly recommend and use them for all soccer games. Great buy

Sele N.

Great color, Great shade, Great seat.

Sele N.

Great color, great seat.

Chanc L.

The best we have ever had. Others want them.

Cynthia F.

I purchased one of the original chairs a long, long, long time ago and that chair had a net pockets inside the top cover. It was the main reason I purchased the new ones. That is the only disappointing thing I can say about these chairs. I even asked the rep I spoke with and he stated that yes the 2 pockets were still there. The old pockets had a way of keeping items in them without falling out. These are still the best chairs to purchase and that is why I ordered another one that is lighter for my mom to carry. We really love the fact that we can carry them like a backpack. That feature really helps her back.

Elaine M.

The chair is very comfortable. The seat stays cool and doesn’t hold water in the rain. Best part is I no longer have to carry an umbrella.

Donna P.

Bought 2 after using my sister in law’s chairs. Easy to carry. Simple set up. Great colors. Highly recommend to those who are tired of umbrellas blowing away.

Sara B.

It would be helpful if you included an Allen wrench to install the wheels. I had a hard time finding one small enough.

Jolie A.

We've seen these around at our son's soccer tournaments and finally ordered some, 4 to be exact. GAME CHANGER. No more wagon, chairs, umbrella, etc. one sleek backpack that unfolds into pure convenience and shade. We'll recommend to everyone!

Danielle W.

The chairs arrived right on time. They are made extremely well. We will use them at car shows. Great experience dealing with this company. Worth the money.

Robert K.

The BEST chair for any sports parent. Built in shade wherever you go!

Jasmin P.

Love it!

Robert Y.

Great, easy to use, comfortable chair!

Gary M.

Was happy the way it is made

Michael M.

The new design for the shoulder straps is great and the extra shade extensions makes them more comfortable in the sunny weather

Lance H.

2 Thumbs Up!

Jan P.

Love the two large size cup holders. I miss the mesh netting on the inside roof where I could put my sunglasses and sunscreen, etc. overall is great. I am a little worried about the mesh seat and if it will last long term.

Sarah F.

Perfect!

L B.

These chairs are a bit larger than the original chairs we bought 20 years ago. The turquiose color is different than the chairs I was replacing. They seem alot heavier than our other Renetto Canopy chairs. They are definitely not what I was expecting. I don't care for the changes that were made from our original Renetto Canopy chairs.

Darlene S.

Such a comfy chair!

Margarita D.

Comfy, protects from the sun and easy to carry.

Kyle B.

Love the chair so much I bought one for my wife too!

Crystal G.

Too big and heavy for a small framed person. I shouldn’t have to sacrifice sun protection to have a chair that fits my size. Quite frankly, the new chair is for men. Women would like a smaller chair with side shade options and larger cup holders.

gina c.

It’s very heavy, the straps don’t go small enough for a shorter person. I have a non brand version that is more comfortable and lighter, shorter. I thought that this one would be better. Wish I had the box I’d return it. Also you can’t even put a cup in it, the arm cup holder is so large you would never be able to put a drink in it. Terrible don’t buy!

Kelli L.

I went back and forth trying to decide between this chair and the lighter version, but happy I got this one. Nice big cup holders, adjustable visor, nice straps, mesh portion for more comfort, and it doesn't feel too heavy on your back. This thing literally pops open in seconds and is so easy to put away. No more trying to shove your chair in a tight bag! As a soccer mom, I've tried many chairs, this one is my favorite!

Takiya A.

I reached out to customer service to get my chair delivered ASAP because I had an event going on in two days and they delivered. I was very happy with their commitment to get the chair out ASAP. Customer service was excellent and I love the chair.

Ann Marie B.

Gave this to my mom for her birthday. It's a little heavy, but the "backpack" straps are well made and the chair is so sturdy. This chair will provide her with a ton of sun protection. 100% recommend.

Robert Y.

Very nice!

Andy D.

amazing ! highly recommended

Barbara M.

Received my chairs and like them. Haven’t used them yet but plan to get plenty of use from them. Between swim meets & volleyball games.

Danielle C.

It's not practical to have mesh fabric on the back of the chair. That should be regular fabric because my back is blazing hot when the sun hits that mesh. I end up having to place a barrier behind my back, like a towel or a bag to block the sun from coming through the mesh. The chair is too heavy to be practical to carry. It's convenient when placed into a wagon to carry but not ideal if you're carrying on your back. I now wish I would have selected the lighter version of the chair. I didn't pick that option knowing that it supports a lower total weight & wanted the chair to be available to both my husband (heavier) and to me (ok to use either chair) .

Lena

The design is great

Denise P.

This is our 3rd Renetto chair. We absolutely love them. The canopy, side shades and new larger rolling duffle bag are the best.

Marcie D.

Got our chair haven’t used it yet!

Kara H.

Great chair
