That chair looks pretty good. The potential problem that I see right off is that to fold that small, it has a lot of joints which means places to break.

Any info on that chair's durability?


No. Most of what reviews I've read focus on comfort IIRC. I've sat in one in the store only and it is indeed very comfortable. It looks kind of fragile and flimsy but when you set in it it feels sturdy and solid.
+1 on joints. I suspect it would hold up well overall, but as mentioned, invariably one leg sinks slightly then you start getting side torquing and I believe THAT'S what causes riveted joints to break or rivets to fail. I would have a tendency to try to take special care to try and keep it level and flat.
