The Kermit Chair is a premier wooden camping chair made popular by the BMW motorcycle camping community. Designed with portability in mind, the chair can be rolled and packed into its included carrying bag. We don’t sacrifice beauty, quality, or comfort when we make our chairs—each one is durably handcrafted from white oak, water resistant nylon, aluminum, and stainless steel. The Kermit Chair is a high quality, folding, wooden camping chair that is popular among motorcycle riders, overland adventurers, and casual campers alike. Most notable about the chair is its ability to be quickly and easily disassembled and packed to a portable size of 22" long x 6" diameter. With a timeless design that has been left untouched for 30 years, the Kermit Chair remains the finest-built and most comfortable chair you can pack. The entire chair is handcrafted in Tennessee. We use white oak that is locally and responsibly sourced, and each piece is double dipped in marine grade polyurethane.
This finish is thicker than a spray and will protect the chair for a lifetime. The cloth is a 1000 denier coated nylon that we cut with heat to prevent raveling. The hardware on the chair is aluminum and stainless steel, so it can withstand the elements and won’t rust over time. The result is a product that is not only very durable and highly functional, but is beautiful and comfortable as well.

How sturdy is the Chair? What is the weight limit? Should I be worried about breaking it? The Chair is weight tested to hold 350lbs. With the exception of cases of misuse/abuse, we do not tend to have any issues with Chairs breaking. This is not always the case. Occasionally there will be an old Chair that could develop a weak part over time. Our five-year warranty will cover any normal wear and tear or factory defects on our products. It is normal for the Chair to creak a little when sitting in it. This is nothing to be alarmed about – it is simply the sound of the wood rubbing against itself and the hardware. The Wide Chair has reinforcements over the screws that are most prone to breaking. What are the dimensions of the Chair? Will it fit in my saddlebag? The Chair packs to 6” across x 22” long. It will fit in many motorcycle saddlebags. Most riders will strap the Chair on the back with their tent or other gear. ROK Straps are great for this.
It will still fit easily into a trunk or the back of a car when simply folded – no need to fully disassemble. What materials are used to make the Chair? The Chair frame is made of white oak, all locally and responsibly sourced in TN. Metal hardware is aluminum and stainless steel. The seat fabric is a durable and weather resistant 1000 denier coated nylon. How weatherproof is the Chair?The wood is double coated in marine grade polyurethane. It is OK to leave the Chair outside for short periods, but we do not recommend leaving it out all the time. How do I clean my Chair? A fresh water hose down will do the trick to rinse off the wood and metal hardware. Please let everything dry completely before packing the Chair back in the bag. You can clean most dirt off the fabric by using a stiff brush or a little dish soap and water. Can I use my Chair at the beach?Just be sure to rinse the Chair with fresh water when you are done using it.
If you don’t, the sand can build up in the metal parts of the chair and make it difficult to fold and assemble. As long as the Chair is properly cleaned after use, the materials will hold up just fine. Do the Leg Extensions fit in the bag with the Chair? No, the Leg Extensions come in their own separate bag. We offer a larger Kermit Chair Bag (sold separately) that will hold the Chair and Leg Extensions together. How do I keep my Leg Extensions from falling off of the chair? If the brace gets loose, very slightly bend the metal piece that hold the extension onto the leg. If walking around with your Chair with the Leg Extensions attached, hold the Chair upside down by the straight braces to prevent the extensions from falling off. Where is the Chair made?
