This On-Sale Cane Turns Into A Chair

As the weather warms, you probably can’t wait to spend time outside. Yet, when it’s tricky to navigate long periods of walking or standing, you may wonder how to make the outdoors more accessible. Boy, do we have good news. From the Taiwanese company Step2Gold, the aptly named Ta-Da chair is a versatile, genius tool that conveniently functions as a lightweight walking stick and then folds out into a chair whenever you need it. Even better? It’s currently 33% off, making it under $100.

The chair has garnered heaps of glowing reviews thanks to its versatility, ease of use, portability and functionality. Made with lightweight, durable materials, it’s easy to tote around, according to multiple shoppers — who also say that despite its light, slim silhouette, it doesn’t sacrifice stability in either configuration.

When used as a cane, it has an ergonomic handle that’s designed to fit comfortably in your hand. When it’s snapped into a chair position, you can enjoy a large seat that is comfortable and evenly distributes weight (up to 300 pounds), with large anti-slip rubber feet for extra safety. Additionally, it features a safety buckle, seat lock and is constructed with a reinforced stainless steel seat rim for enhanced strength.

“It is really easy to open and close; it takes just seconds,” a reviewer wrote. ”…It takes just seconds and can even be done while you’re on the move again.” “With a couple of clicks, it unfolds to a stable little stool to take the weight off of painful hips or knees,” another wrote.

Reviewers particularly love it for travel, maintaining that it’s convenient to use through airports and on planes or anytime you have to stand in long lines.

In fact, many consider it an absolute must for vacations spent trekking on uneven cobblestones and wandering through museums. It’s also great for outdoor activities like festivals, picnics and children’s sporting events.

“This seat was a lifesaver on our trip to Europe,” one wrote, calling the chair “light enough to carry around all day.” ”…I used this seat for waiting in line at the airports, waiting in line for buses, crowding around listening to tour guides, etc. etc.”

“I don’t have to use the seat often, but knowing I have the option to sit *immediately* if I need to makes me more willing to go out,” another wrote. With many joking that when they used it in public, many jealous onlookers asked where to get one.

While it’s pricier than your average camp or outdoor chair, reviewers say it’s worth every penny for the peace of mind, freedom and comfort it brings.

″…If anyone else is uncertain about spending the money… I have to say, go for it. I have no regrets,” shopper Mary wrote. “I’ve already attended 1 event that I would not have even tried without it and I’m sure there’ll be others. It’s given me back a little more freedom, so well worth it.”

″…I just walked a considerable distance down a Gulf shore beach. I could pause wherever I liked, then click open this little stool to rest and enjoy the view,” an 80-year-old reviewer said. “It allows me to go places I might otherwise not risk. It’s completely changed what I’m able to do in my life!!! If you’re using a cane, you absolutely need this one!”

Reviewers love this portable chair for giving them stability when walking or sitting on the go. Read more 5-star reviews and grab one for yourself on sale.

“I seem to have come down with a case of COG (Chronic Old Guy), however, I still enjoying walking my dogs in the park. This wonderful cane–chair (1) helps me keep my feet on uneven ground and (2) lets me stop to rest no matter where I happen to be. The seat also comes in handy when the sun blares down on a park bench. I simply set up in the shade, to the envy of all other park visitors. Whoever came up with naming it Ta–Da deserves a raise. Indeed, it’s hard not to yell out “ta–da” each time I unfold the seat.” — Steve Cuno

“I’m 73. My wife is 71 with mobility issues. This is a great leg and back saver. The three legs make it stable where ever you set it up. It opens and collapses easily. I can’t count the number of times people have asked what it is, where did we get it and want one for themselves. As an added bonus, when people see us carrying them, they are a little nicer and more courteous.” — R. Darrington

“Works great. It’s stable while walking as well as when you sit on the stool. My dad has a back injury so balance is not his friend. This cane is going to be so helpful when he travels and does walking tours. He’s quite happy with it.” — Grant Williams

“What a difference this cane/chair made for my husband on a recent trip to Paris. While he is able to walk without a cane, his respiratory condition and edema in his legs does not allow him to walk very far. The foldable chair worked great whenever he needed to take a break. He said the seat was fairly comfortable for these short periods. It was light enough to carry around as we walked through neighborhoods and yet sturdy enough to sit on…he weighs 224. The weight limit is 300+. We were able to tour Notre Dame Cathedral and other iconic Paris tourist spots, museums, et.al. without him tiring from walking. Excellent quality.” — Josie Riojas
