(More customer reviews)Well first off...the chair arrives in a nice box....easy open...you need to assemble 2 screws and bolts together with a spacer....very simple..although i did it wrong the first time.....but once you READ the instructions...its simple. This attaches the back part of the chair to the rest of the unit. I guess it comes this way since once assembled, when you fold it over to carry it, it would be a bit too long to fit in the supplied box it came in. They could have made life simpler and sent it in a slightly bigger box and fully assembled..whatever.
Next....I am 5'10 and a half (dont forget that half now) and the chair is just a little too small in length for me to lay comfortably on the beach in any position on my back without my feet hanging off the metal bar at the end.... somewhat annoying and sometimes slightly painfull...but with some adjusting, you can get your feet on it with your legs a little bent.
Next.....the most comfortable position for me on this chair is laying face down on the "lounger" with my face in the cut out hole on the pillow pad that is velcroed on.....i need to take out the middle/stomach/back velcro pillow and put it under my ankles so me feet dont hang on the metal bar and cause pain...also it is uncomfortable when you lay on you belly with this middle pillow there...much better when your stomach is on the material using a towel of course since there is velcro there and it would hurt when it rubs against your bare skin. I think it is even ergonomically better or at least it feels that way for me.
Moving on...The chair can be used in the flat position which is great since this is rare when it comes to beach chairs...and a main reason why i bought it. The back part can be raised in the traditional manner like a regular lounge chair for your choice of angle.
Finnaly...it is really lightweight...really. Its maybe 12 pounds or so....and it folds up pretty easily and all the velcro pieces stick to the chair and havent fallen off while ive carried it to and from the beach a few times so far...seems as if the velcro is strong. The only thing is that the back part sticks out further than the rest of the chair when its folded...and is not folded in the traditional manner....what i mean is, a regular lounge/folding chair when folded, makes a shape like a square or a rectangle with all the pieces of the chair nicely tucked in and secure....this chair doesnt do that....it folds ok..but one piece sticks out further than the rest..a little wierd..but it does have some straps that secure the pieces together so it doesnt come apart when carrying it.
To sum up....a good chair if you like lying flat on your back and if you want to tan your back there is a a place for your face parts like your nose..so it dosent get crushed...it goes in the cut out hole in the chair.
I would suggest if you are taller than 5'10 and a half ..use one of the velcro pillows under your ankles so the metal bar dosent cut off your circulation and cause you to walk with a limp. Overall...a good buy for the money. Im happy with my purchase :)
