Similar chairs are very hard to pull the corner pockets of the seat over the rods. Does this have the same issue? Thanks

It does. There are a few solutions. Here's one.: Place the long rods of the seat back into the pockets first. Place those ends on the ground, cloth side up. One at a time bend the long rods using their leverage against the ground and grasping the shorter rods to do it. HERE'S AN EXTRA PIECE OF INFO.: This chair will sink into sand or dirt and spill you onto the ground. It only stands on solid surfaces. Helinox will sell you an accessory (for another $25-$30!! and more weight) to overcome this issue.

Where are these chairs made?

According to the manufacturer, "Our furniture fabrics are produced in Vietnam and our aluminum poles are made in South Korea by Dac Poles. Our furniture is also assembled and packaged in Vietnam."

Is this chair comfortable for tall (>6') persons?

I am 6'2 and weigh 230Lbs. Given its intended use (i.e. for lightweight camping/backpacking), I consider the chair comfortable. You can buy a more comfortable chair, but it will be considerably larger and heavier (IMHO).

Is this comfotable enough to sit on all day?

Why would you want to sit all day? It's bad for you! I just use this for backpack trips where weight is of prime importance. It's the most comfortable chair for evenings at a backcountry camp with good back support for only 1 lb. But I doubt it would be very comfortable for all day. You'd want a bigger, cushier chair which would be much heavier. If weight isn't important, get something else which will be more comfortable and less costly (you pay extra for that lightweight). For backpacking, there's no better chair.

Broke After Only Two Uses

I expected premium quality from Helinox, especially for the price they charge and the reputation they have in the outdoor gear world. Instead, what I got was a complete let-down.After the second use — on a completely flat, stable surface — the Chair Zero snapped at the joint connection. No rough terrain, no overloading, nothing that could justify such a failure. Just normal use, exactly as intended.For a chair this expensive, you expect years of reliable service, not a catastrophic failure after two outings. At this point, it’s hard not to feel like you’re paying for the brand name rather than actual durability.If this is “premium quality,” I’d hate to see what their budget gear looks like. I honestly can’t recommend this product to anyone looking for reliability in the outdoors.

Broken just in 1 month, Not a single answer from Helinox

I am just a 78 kg person and never abused the chair but still, it is broken in the joints now. I had multiple camping chairs before, even the cheap ones, and I never had a problem like this. They are very proud of their warranties and all, so I had an inquiry at their website, twice now, and they never even bothered to respond. I paid a lot (I mean a lot) of money for a terrible product, and my suggestion is to be careful about the current reviews(they are really good, unfortunately) and make your decision very carefully.
