Rating  - Chair "Slips" back
After reading all of these glowing reviews I was looking forward to receiving my chairs. Unfortunately, you have to sit rather gingerly to avoid having the chair back "slip" backwards from the more upright positions. I do weight 215 lbs, but this also happens on my 160 lb wife. The locking mechanism is not strong enough for us.
Rating  - very comfortable chair
This is a great chair, which reclines over a nice range, but NOT such that your feet are over your head, like another reviewer claims (she was probably talking about the anti-gravity lounger; the photos provided by Amazon show the most reclined position the chair can hold, which is fine for a nice nap). I am not sure how durable the plastic locking mechanism is, but has been okay so far--the white ring under the armrests is what locks the position in place. The seat is somewhat low to the ground, which makes the chair stable. The lack of a foot support may be uncomfortable for some but I prefer the apparent safety of being able to stay in touch with the ground, at least for my elderly parents. For those of you interested in color coordinating with the garden chairs and anti-gravity recliner, keep in mind that the frame of this chair is white as pictured, not gray like the others by Strathwood. Lastly, the box it arrived in was quite beat up but the chair seems be to unaffected by the travel abuse, hopefully indicating that it will survive years of use.
Rating  - Beach Chair
I love my beach chair, it is adjustable and easy to carry plus easy to get in and out of. I have enjoyed many hours by the pool in it!
Rating - CRADLED LIKE A SAILOR . . .
. . . which I am not. They aren't advertised as such but these zero gravity recliners are designed to draw one into sleep . . . with ease. This reviewer is a fair test, being of 'advanced age' and in possession of FOUR replaced joints & a certain heft, :>) , yet able to maneuver in & out, up & down, without clumsiness.
What else can I say? I want one for each level of the house & to travel with . . . but use caution: shop around because my 'tried & true' was $50 in 2006, and some are priced outlandishly.
This is a product recommended with enthusiasm by a genuine user, who needs long legs higher than the heart.
Rating - Yes, you should buy it!
Cons: Only comes in bright colors. Plastic arm rests were a little dirty when I pulled it out of the box.
Pros: About $20 cheaper than the next least expensive I've seen for this style chair, which sometimes goes for $100+, solid construction--I was surprised at how heavy it is, very comfortable for anyone from 5'3 me to 6'6" husband.
Conclusion? If you don't like the color, throw a beach towel over it. Dirt wipes off. The lime fizz color is brighter than it looks on my monitor, but I actually rather like it. When you first try the chair, be careful as it can recline WAY back (feet higher than head)...it is perfectly stable, but was a little startling. Otherwise easy to adjust and you can lock it into position if you want. I expect to spend many happy hours in it this summer.
