Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Mantis Chair is a portable, comfortable outdoor chair with a higher base and four legs for improved comfort and stability. It’s easy to set up and pack down, and it features breathable side panels and a 250-lb weight capacity.

Grand Trunk says: 

The Mantis is a four-legged, stable version of our famous Monarch chair. When you sit down, you’ll experience the extreme comfort of this chair’s higher base and larger sling. The Mantis chair is much easier to carry and set up than most heavy, bulky outdoor chairs, derived from the original Alite Designs Mantis chair.

Our Verdict

The Grand Trunk Mantis Chair is a versatile and comfortable outdoor seating solution that builds upon the success of the brand’s iconic Monarch Chair. With a higher base, this four-legged chair offers superior comfort and stability compared to its predecessor.

One of the standout features of the Mantis Chair is its ease of setup and portability. Like the Monarch, it uses an aluminium hub and pole system for quick and hassle-free assembly. When packed down, it measures a compact 14.5 x 5 x 5 inches, making it easy to transport and store.

The chair’s 8-inch seat height is more elevated than the Monarch, which some users may prefer. Additionally, the four-legged design offers a stable and sturdy platform, regardless of the terrain you’re sitting on.

The Mantis it is constructed with lightweight yet durable 210D ripstop nylon fabric and breathable mesh side panels. It also boasts an impressive 250 lbs weight capacity, ensuring it can accommodate most users.
