XGEAR Deluxe Low/High Back Boat Seat, Fold-Down Fishing Boat Seat

Overview:In the midst of our boat's mini-renovation, the hunt for new seats brought me to the XGEAR High Back Boat Seat. They've become a welcomed addition to our boating experience, and while they have some areas that could be improved upon, they serve their purpose well.Pros:Perfect Fit for Smaller Spaces: If you’re working with limited space, these seats might be just the solution. Their compact design made them a seamless fit for our boat, ensuring we didn't compromise on functionality.Functional Design: The fold-down mechanism is intuitive and smooth, making storage and space management on the boat easier. It’s evident these were designed with practicality in mind.Comfort with Posture Correction: While they might not be the plushiest seats on the market, they provide decent comfort. What's more, they naturally encourage an upright posture, ensuring long hours on the water don’t leave you with a sore back.Swivel and Pedestal Integration: Adding these seats to a swivel and pedestal was a game changer. The ability to effortlessly turn and engage with fellow passengers adds a social dynamic to boating trips – perfect for those picnic lunches or casual conversations on the water.Cons:Questionable Upholstery Durability: Although the seats are aesthetically pleasing, the upholstery does give off a vibe of being on the cheaper side. Prolonged exposure to harsh sun might lead to quicker wear and tear than premium options, although our boat cover might mitigate this concern to some extent.Overly Upright Positioning: While the straight-up seating can be seen as a positive for posture, it might not suit everyone, especially those looking for a more relaxed, lounge-style seat.Final Thoughts:The XGEAR High Back Boat Seat has found its niche in our boat's new setup. They may not be luxury seating, but they're functional, reasonably comfortable, and make social interactions on board simpler and more enjoyable. Given their affordable price point, they’re a solid choice for those looking for a short to medium-term seating solution.Would I recommend them? Yes, especially for smaller boats or for those who need a practical seating solution that won't break the bank. Just be sure to manage expectations in terms of long-term durability and ultra-comfort.

Love the seats we purchased, sturdy and pleasing to the eyes. Good value for the money

My neighbor and I like to sit on our dock. We used to have plastic lawn chairs, but those quickly got brittle and would blow around in the wind without being held in place by a metal cable. These are fantastic. They’re very comfortable, and can be easily folded and snapped shut or removed for bad weather by pulling the pin in the post. They also free up a lot of space compared to what we had before. They’re also much better than a wooden built in option. They obviously are made for outdoor use for boats and can stand the elements. The stitching and quality is nice. With the posts and swivels they can easily accommodate an adult over 200 lbs. The seats do come with hardware to affix them to a post. We bought the posts and swivels that were recommended as items often “purchased together.” You will need to buy additional hardware to affix the swivel to the post and the post to your boat or whatever you plan to mount them to.

The old seats in my bass boat needed replaced and they wanted almost 2k to build new ones. Something about being 33 years old and totally rotten- I digress. I found these seats and purchased them knowing I was probably going to be modifying them. I was very happy to find they actually fit very well! The driver and passenger seats were mounted from the backrest meaning the seat bottom now lifts up for access. The angle turned out to be exactly right so that was nice. Other than working out mounting hole locations I added rubber feet to the underside of the bottoms. For the front seats I threw away the hinge sides completely. New carpet and these seats and my boat looks brand new again! These are comfortable and styled right. Now the good and bad of these seats: 1. They are not custom so they may need some building skills if you choose to go with mounting any thing other than a 4 hole swivel pedestal mount they are designed for.2. Made in China and the size, I think could be an inch or 1 1/2 inches wider. I am 6' 200# and they work good but just a bit wider would be helpful. My wife thinks they are perfect.3. They are not built like tanks. The metal hinge seems a little thin and the hardware is NOT stainless but is zink plated steel. I changed all hardware to stainlesss.These are for boats and not providing stainless hardware lost them a star to 4 stars. If you are expecting super heavy duty then you need to spend a lot more money. The foam seemed a little hard when I was installing them but out on the lake they feel just right. For the price I would buy them again. I get compliments and they work well. I also purchased the same companies clam shell fishing seats. They are gray and blue. The blue matches perfectly and the work great.

We bought the red and grey with white seats. Absolutely beautiful. Very comfortable.

Color matched my boat. The seats look like they were made for the boat and are very good quality. Price was very reasonable.

The seats are great highly recommend

Look and feel amazing! Very excited about these seats. Used with quick disconnect swivels and love it! Made very well and support 220+lb passengers no problem at all. Game changer

Was truly surprised by the quality of these seats will definitely buy again

Only issue with the seats is make sure you cover them because mine faded out to a brownish colour

Seats are wearing through, one having been installed for 2 weeks. The other never installed at all. Vinyl is maybe 2mm thick. Utterly disappointing garbage. Dont waste your money

Very unsatisfied with thse boat seats seams were ripped when we received it. Under the seat it was sewn properly. Still waiting on a refund from aamzon since July 18th. Not a happy customer.
