Do you weigh more than 300 pounds?
Has that fact made it frustrating to find a good-quality beach chair that’s sturdy enough to support you properly?
If you answered yes to either of those questions, this review will leave you smiling.
The BeachMall Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Beach chair isn’t perfect, and it’s not for everyone, but for the right user, it’s an awesome design.
In the following sections, we’ll outline everything this chair has to offer and reveal its shortcomings and limitations so you can decide for yourself if you are the user this chair was designed to please. If that sounds good to you, let’s jump right in and see what the Big Jumbo can do!
Key Features of the Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Beach Chair
The BeachMall Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Beach Chair looks exactly what it is. There’s no mistaking that this is a beach chair. It’s not your average lawn chair, not a camp chair. This model was designed for sun and sand. Offered in two fun blue variants featuring sturdy aluminum legs and wooden arms, it looks like the kind of chair you’d want to spend a sunny afternoon in with a cold drink close at hand and the sand between your toes.
Chair Specifications
Moving past the basic aesthetic of the chair, here are a few basic stats:
We like most of these numbers. The chair is delightfully lightweight, making carrying it to your setup spot on the beach a simple matter, and the seat width is generous.
Although the standard proviso applies here: If you’re very close to the chair’s maximum supported weight limit, you’ll want to take careful measurements to ensure that the seat is wide enough for you to sit comfortably.
The only potential weak spot is the seat height. 18” is generally considered the lowest seat height for a big and tall chair. So, if you are taller and suffer from mobility issues, you may find getting into and out of the chair challenging. Otherwise, though, these numbers are rock solid.
Fabric Upholstery
Let’s start with comfort because there’s relatively little to talk about on that front. The upholstery is a double-layered 600 Denier polyester fabric that has been treated to be water-resistant and quick-drying. It’s fairly breathable and offers reasonable comfort, but this chair has no padding, so what you see is what you get.
Headrest Pillow
The only enhanced comfort feature on offer is the attached headrest pillow, which isn’t generously padded but is sufficient to get the job done and give you a nice platform if you decide to angle the Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Beach chair by BeachMall back and while away the afternoon listening to the sounds of the surf.
Adjustable Seatback
Regarding adjustability, the seatback can be angled through four different settings, which gives you some options for lounging. However, note that this species isn’t a lounger, so there’s nowhere to put your feet except on the sand.
That’s not a deal-breaker, nor even a bad thing. The fact that this chair isn’t a lounger makes it relatively lightweight and easy to carry. Still, it is important to know exactly what you’re buying. If you’re specifically in the market for a lounger, you may want to check out the XL Zero-G Lounger, offered by Ezcheer.
Lots of Storage
Extras are where the BeachMall Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Aluminum Beach chair really shines. This chair has lots of storage and a handy cup holder built into one of the chair arms.
You’ll find a zippered storage pouch conveniently located on the crossbar, just under the seat, another hanging off of the chair arm opposite the cup holder, and a third compartment on the back of the seatback. These give you all sorts of options for storing snacks, sunscreen, and any other summertime gear you feel like bringing with you.
No Assembly Required
Most of the beach chairs you can buy on the market today will arrive at your door fully assembled and ready to use, and the Big Jumbo is no exception. Just take it out of the box, unfold it, put it where you want it, and have a seat. That’s all there is to it.

Pros and Cons of BeachMall Big Jumbo HD Beach Chair
The only real negative the BeachMall Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Beach chair has is the seat height. It’s a bit on the short side, so if you’re taller or have a mobility issue, that may make it a non-starter.
Other than that, this, like other BeachMall beach chairs, is a superb chair offered by a smallish but established brand. It’s built to last and supports a lot of user weight. Best of all, it has many storage options, making it ideal for a good beach or outdoor chair.
BeachMall Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Beach Chair Review Conclusion
We don’t quite love the BeachMall Big Jumbo Heavy Duty Beach chair, but we do like it very much. We prefer beach loungers, but we admit they’re not everyone’s first choice. If you prefer a simple beach folding chair, this one’s awfully hard to beat. We recommend it.
