This is great. Works great for camping. So sturdy. The only thing is the cover to put on after you put on the bag is super loose; just doesn't fit snug. Otherwise, this is super awesome. I'm so glad I bought it. I love camping but hate going up to porta potties. So, this is great and buying extra biodegradable bags of any kind (should be 30 gal) works great. Also, the design includes a piece of material that keeps the bag in place and not on the ground. Good job on this one!

[UPDATE: I am upgrading back to five stars because I do love this product so I spoke with QC at Reliance Products who is very interested in what could have malfunctioned and are working with me to figure it out and make it right]

[UPDATE 2: Reliance Products could not have been more friendly and helpful. They have not said anything about why the seat may have failed but they are sending a replacement. In my case I believe it was because of the way the straps of the cover pulled against the fabric when using it as a seat, either they are too short or I was mounting it wrong. On my new seat I will be looking out for that.]

I sat on this a few times to test it out and it worked great, then stashed in the back of my van with my poop-up shelter to have available for on the road emergencies. Then one day I showed up at the campground and discovered I had forgot my folding chairs, which disappointed me until I remembered my tri-to-go is not only a stool dispenser but also a camp stool.

Taking position at the head of the camp fire I was regaling the 20+ members of my group with one of my hilarious entertaining stories and almost to the punch line when suddenly the seat material just disintegrated on two corners, the sudden weight shift snapped one of the plastic seat cover clips, and the seat displayed a hitherto unknown ability to lay flat on the ground. For a moment I was suspended like a cartoon victim blithely blathering on until gravity took over and my heels and butt exchanged elevations. My audience laughed even harder than they had the first time I had told my story. I was humiliated and only able to work past it because my lightening fast reflexes had managed to catch my beer before I hit the ground.

The seat is rated for 300 lb and I am still short of that milestone. The material does not seem rotten and the seams were still intact but the material seemed to have destructed from the center of each corner simultaneously. I am investigating the possibility of making a new seat using the old one as a template because I love the concept of this stool/stool dispenser. The size is great and it can be stashed anywhere. I even took it for a whitewater kayak ride one time when my body was hinting at signs of instability. This item would rate five stars if one could depend on it.

I bought a privacy tent (WolfWise) so my family could avoid the public latrines (since the air in an enclosed space can suspend COVID aerosols for some time, exhaled while breathing) to use this with. It's great that is it about as tall as a higher toilet so it's easy to maneuver inside the tent. I actually modified it by sewing a fleece collar around the flap so it would certainly seal flies out. I also sewed two more of the soft "seat" covers so I could change it daily...and wash/dry them in camp if the trip was longer than 3 days.

I used this recently on a camping trip. I was barely able to get all of the appropriate orifices in the circumference provided. I'm 6' 250 lb. The chair withstood my weight, but I had an extremely difficult time to fit my junk which caused some issues. This is perfect for a woman or any smaller guy, but for us big boys...find a bigger opening.

This is just the perfect size for transporting. Although I haven't used it yet, I did check it out & seems to be just right. My only suggestion would be having a triangular lid that would cover when not in use to keep flies out. Really like that it doesn't look like a toilet & could be also used as a stool.
