The Revolve Camping Chair Puts a Twist on Traditional Loungers

The Revolve Camping Chair has taken the traditional folding chair that one takes on a trip up to the cottage and puts a spin on it.
While the standard variety of folding chairs that one usually uses to lounge around a bonfire do the trick, having the ability to spin and twirl around with ease while rocking out to a personalized playlist is a welcomed update. The seat pivots a full 360 degrees to allow for excellent mosquito evasion, while also sporting an MP3 dock, compact mini amp and speaker system to keep the music flowing without having to abandon a perfect marshmallow-roasting spot.
The chair could put a major kibosh on the traditional Kumbaya playing that usually takes place late at night around the roaring fire -- though that might not necessarily be a bad thing if one's camping buddies are not the most skilled guitar players.
