Purchasing it as a compact, lightweight stool to be used on the trail during long hikes. Deploying the chair needs quite a bit getting used to and not exactly easy nor quick. In Hawaii, few people really wear gloves on hikes as the weather is usually warm and humid to begin with. Setting up the chair involves pulling really hard on the top-seat portion (rectangular piece of fabric with 2 metal tubes sewn into the both of the shorter sides) so that the seat fabric will stretch just enough for the rods to snap down into the hook-ends of the two metal limbs. It's definitely not a one-handed job. So imagine holding the short rod/tube with both hands trying to snap the tube into the hook, next thing I know the fleshy part near the base of the thumb got caught pinched by the tube and the hook. Painful experience. I think it's much safer to set up the stool with gloves on. Not practical for my use.

cl0123I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I'm worried you were not using the best technique to assemble it. I say that because I see you wrote "..... so that the seat fabric will stretch just enough for the rods to snap DOWN into the hook-ends of the two metal limbs."
I put your word DOWN in all caps because its actually designed to be pushed UP into the clip. I have attached the assemble sheet here that should have been included with the stool to show you the proper technique. Hopefully that will help. See you want to start with the seat fabric already on the poles as shown at the top, then you push the rods up into the clip. This is much easier than trying to pull the rod down over the clip.
We do recognize that the first few times you assemble the stool it might take a little more effort, but that is because if it were too loose out of the bag it would not be as comfortable after the fabric stretches a little over time.
