Maximum load

The greatest weight that a piece of furniture can withstand without consequences during normal use for its main purpose; in other words, the maximum load at which the structure can operate for a long time (at least the warranty period) without damage or other problems. Of course, this figure cannot be exceeded: although exceeding the load does not necessarily lead to immediate breakage of the furniture, high weight still negatively affects the strength of the structure, and the product may break at the most unexpected moment (including later, when operating under normal load) . It is also undesirable to select a model based on end-to-end load. This is especially true for chairs, stools and other “seated places” (see “Purpose”): with any movement of a sitting person, additional loads arise on the structure, as a result, the actual load may be higher than the maximum even with the permissible weight of the seated person. The best option is to have a weight reserve of at least 15 - 20%. Of course, high strength affects either the cost or the weight of the product - however, in the case of tourist furniture, reliability is often more important than price or difficulty in transportation (especially since most such products are intended for camping and are not intended for long-term carrying).

Note that for tables (see “Purpose”) the load is usually low - no more than 30 kg: this is quite enough for most cases, and the weight of the str...ucture is small. But chairs and other “sitting” furniture should be designed for more serious loads - from 70 kg and above. If we are talking about a set, then manufacturers, as a rule, indicate indicators for each type of item included in the set. However, there are exceptions; in these cases, it is recommended to check load indicators with company representatives or other reliable sources.

Legs length adjustment

The ability to change the length of the legs of the product. Usually, in modern tourist furniture, the length of each leg is regulated separately. This is due to the main purpose of this function — adjusting the structure to the relief of the surface on which it is installed: by adjusting the length of the legs for individual irregularities, you can achieve an even and stable position even on very “difficult” terrain (like a pebble beach). And in tables (see "Intended use"), the leg length adjustment can also be used to change the height of the tabletop.

Headrest

The headrest in this case is a characteristic soft “pillow” located in the area of the back of the head of the seated person and providing additional comfort when sitting. Thus, this feature implies not only the presence of a backrest, but also a rather large height of this backrest — so that the headrest can be fixed high enough. There is similar equipment in all types of tourist furniture equipped with backs — chairs, armchairs (including for fishing) and sun loungers (see "Purpose").

Case

The case greatly simplifies the transportation and storage of the product. Its main function is to protect both the piece of furniture itself (from various adverse effects) and surrounding objects (from unwanted contacts with the contents of the cover). In addition, the case, usually, is designed to accommodate all the items included in the package — this minimizes the risk of losing any of these items. This is especially true for sets(see "Purpose") — it is often much more convenient to store, carry and carry all the furniture in one case than separately, since the weight of even extensive sets is relatively small. Of course, in the absence of a cover, you can purchase it separately or even make it yourself; however, complete accessories, firstly, by definition, are optimally suited for “native” furniture, and secondly, they are more convenient and easy to purchase.

Carrying strap

This feature greatly facilitates the transportation of furniture: even holding a belt in your hands is often more convenient than the piece of furniture itself, and in some models the belts allow you to hang the load on your shoulder or behind your back, freeing your hands. The belt can be located both on the product itself and on the complete case.

Weight

The total weight of a piece of furniture. This parameter has a dual meaning. On the one hand, a lot of weight creates inconvenience in carrying, and such products are poorly suited for transportation over long distances. On the other hand, more massive structures are more stable, and when using the same materials, usually, they are also more durable than light ones.

Weight, usually, is indicated without taking into account the cover (see above) — this is quite justified, given that the covers are usually made of soft and light materials and their effect on the weight of the furniture itself is almost imperceptible.
