Cool Lounger

Likes: It is pretty darn sturdy and it looks very professionally made. The surface on which you lay is a strong mesh, so you can breath easy as you lay face down on your belly. The pillow is a nice feature too.Dislikes: I don't like the locking hinges for the sunshade. A little annoying in the way you have to greatly loosen before you can reposition the shade, but they are not a huge hassle to deal with so I still give the product a high mark. Also, I thought it was a bit expensive. I was expecting to spend $40 - $60 on something like this. Still it was one of a kind, so I swallowed the price. I would give it 5 stars If the price were lower and the sunshade were easier to reposition.Delivery was very quick!

i think it's great, though a little pricey...i know, i know--there's no free lunch...i GUESS it's worth the money...i paid 108...i see it's 119 now...that might have been a little too much for me...it's very well made...i'm 6-2 x 220#...i asked before i bought it and was assured that my body was within spec...it's rated for more weight, but i'm not sure that you'd find it very comfortable if you were anymore than 6-2 or so...my hip-to-heel measurement is just a little longer than the bend-to-end of the unit...the overall measurement may be ok, but lying supine, the "notch" in the area of my achilles tendon rests on the end bar...you'd have to try it and find out, guess...that's just MHO...as i say, it's very well made...canvas on the edge and kind of a metal microfiber center...that said, given the canvas/mesh construction/connection, i would advise keep it OUT of the sun (uv rays and all that) when not in use (boat owners know how hard uv rays are on canvas)...the whole unit is VERY light--ALMOST, but not quite, to the point that you get a feeling of flimsiness...the frame is 1" (yes, i'm guessing) tubular aluminum (yes, i'm guessing)...a very nice finish on the metal, though...it folds up very compactly and then there's a shoulder-carrying-strap...i didn't need the overhead screen, so i removed that as soon as i got it...people have written negative reviews on that function, but it looked ok to me...i just don't ever use stuff like that...the unit sits a little low for me, so it's a little tedious getting up...lying down is ok, once you learn to trust the unit...no, your knee is not going to poke a hold in the mesh if you lie down in that manner...no, it's not going to collapse if your weight is within spec...as i mentioned, the original sensation is that of flimsiness, but once you get it set up and under compression, it feels very solid despite its extremely light weight...you don't get the feeling that you bought a pig in a poke...YOU have to decide whether the price is worth it to YOU, though...if you take care of it, you shouldn't have to replace it for a long time...UPDATE 4/9/2016 well, after using it for only 9 months and never having taken out of my back yard, one of the legs broke today...it has hard-rubber (i guess) "elbows" where the folding legs contact the ground...(you can see on the picture...they are the black things)...where the aluminum joins the "hard rubber" fitting, tit separated...i see no way to fix this...i.this was a very expensive purchase to last only 9 months...i'm going to put a lot of duct tape on the break and see if i can still make it servicable...i'm also going to try to contact the manufacturer to see what can be done...

I had very high expectations for this purchase. (I paid $120 in August, 2015).Hindsight: given the opportunity to examine this product before purchase I would have put the cost somewhere around $49.99.#1) The frame is a series of aluminum tubes connected with plastic elbows - plastic that will crack. The hammock consists of canvas and mesh - durable quality but pointless without a solid frame construction. The mesh is very taught which prevents the chaise from staying flat when unoccupied. Push down the head of the lounger to lay flat - the lower section rises, correct that - the base folds in... Surprising for such a heavy piece of furniture. I imagine that's why there isn't a picture showing the lounger flat with no one in it.#2) Due to the tight hammock construction the frame is permanently askew, even folded. So askew that the head of the lounger, when FORCED to be fully reclined, does not come in contact with the plastic bumpers, causing aluminum to rub against aluminum.#3) I see why the biggest complaint/disappointment was with the sunshade. The plastic mounts on the frame cracked within the first month - very poorly designed AND poor choice of materials. Not a huge loss here, it was awkward to position while lying in the chair and akin to climbing out of a hole [feet first] when in place.One review I read [after purchase] put it best, 'Big Hot Mess!..add to that, costly.Hoping one more 'I hate it' review puts this product into the Amazon 'discontinue' bin, if there is such a thing.Buyers be advised, hold onto the box.

I would give this chair a 5 but someone engineered a plastic nut you may not be able to see in picture. I bought in August 16 , only used once that year not last year at all. Well cared for . I am not able to use the sun shade feature. I am going to check with manufacturer to see if they made any improvements. If not I may mill my own out of aluminum

Good product for the most part, however, it's fairly bulky to carry. Even though it has straps for carrying which do help, it needs a strap to secure the chair together when you do carry as it continues to fall open which is extremely irritating

Lightweight and portable this chair is great next to the pool and on the beach. The chair feels sturdy (6'1" - 200) and head on the pillow is a perfect length. Easy set up right out of the box. The shade is great but takes a little work. Need to be careful and tighten. Overall great value though. Have used cheaper and they broke and I've used more expensive and would rather take this one.

The lounger is very well designed,but the tent was broken in three days.
