Best Choice Products Oversized Padded Zero Gravity Chair, Folding Outdoor Patio Recliner for Backyard, Beach w/Headrest, Side Tray, Textilene Mesh - Red

EDIT ONE YEAR LATER:I’ve gone from 4 stars to 5 since nothing of note has failed and the reclined-position clamps are a little softer but still workable. The fabric and elastics have withstood the Arizona sun and heat and dryness. And the cushions are still about 60% as plump as new which is reasonable for the price and Chinese origin. Only trouble has been that a lock nut silently came loose producing a sudden slump and ominous cracking sound which turned out to be just plastic slapping plastic. So it was off to the hardware store for an M6 locknut since I’d lost the one that came off. So a bit tedious but as you can tell I’m in love with this chair. And finally the arms of the chair, being made of Nylabone-like material, are excellent chew toys for our other love. See pix.EDIT ENDSThis lounge is comfortable and easy to carry and unfold. And to my relief there was no assembly required at all. And it’s sort of sturdy as well — I’m 5’11” and 188 lbs. It’s also attractive (I got the grey and brown or whatever). And at a good price. So far it’s 5 stars. But here’s the catch.There are at least two weak spots that could kind of spoil your day. First is the thin-ish elastic cord that weaves back and forth between the grommets on the seating fabric and the metal frame. If the cord gets abraided from the load-unload cycle of sitting down and getting up, then, when the cord ultimately fails over time the whole side of the seating fabric will fall at once. This could give you a good thump in the pants and maybe an hour of DIY weaving and knotting and still be waiting for the next failure.The other thing is the clamping setup which allows you to recline to any desired angle from min to max and then lock in place. The clamp feels like it will slowly lose its grip so the chair may rock instead of staying put over time.All told I really like this lounge and will just treat it gently so that my old body will fail before my new favorite napping spot does.

So I purchased this product to be a semi portable recliner so I can use it to get closer to the TV when I game without having to move heavy furniture and upset the Wife. It comes assembled and is surprisingly comfortable. However, my biggest complaint and frustration is that the "locking" mechanism to maintain your level of recline is awful. Nearly every time it unlocks itself and I have to reposition the whole chair to get it in the proper position. Also, when the locks are engaged (there are two locks for locking the recline) they still slip as they are made of plastic and apparently the mechanism used to lock is either poorly designed or poorly made as very minimal force it required to snap the locks. It also won't let you raise the legs without lowering the head, which is annoying. I basically wasted $100+ on this and would never buy it again and the only reason I gave two stars is for the surprising comfort of the material of the cushion/sitting material.

UPDATE 01/02/2022:I returned the three (3) chairs I purchased and it cost $241.08 in shipping. When I heard that amount I ALMOST decided to keep them. But since I really disliked everything about these chairs, I knew I wouldn't use them if I kept them, so I sent them back.This zero gravity chair was one of three (3) different brands I purchased in my search for a good zero gravity chair. All three (3) fell short, but this brand was the absolute worst of the three (3). After owning another brand of zero gravity chair for years, the zero gravity effect as well as the length/width were the specs I was interested in.The Best Choice Products chair is the gray and black one. I sat it next to the other two brands so you could see the differences.This chair was shorter in length than expected and it sat lower to the ground than I'd like. When fully reclined, my feet were NOT above my heart and it did not have the zero gravity effect. The pillow was longer than those on the other two (2) models, but it wasn't as thick. The band holding the pillow to the chair is elastic, which I know will stretch out over time; it should also have velcro so you can tighten it after the elastic wears out. The tray layout is perfect, is a good size, and larger than the ones that came with the other brands; however, it is flimsy and not rigid enough and the cup holder/slots were not deep enough. The locking mechanism was easy to engage and disengage, but since it didn't recline very far, locking it was a moot point for me.As far as reclining, think of the numbers on a clock. It doesn't do any good if the 160 or 170 degrees starts at 10 or 11 on a clock and goes to 2 or 3. The chair needs to recline almost horizontal, which would be the head at 9 and the feet at 2. This chair was like 10 and 3. When fully reclined, I kept trying to get it to recline further and it didn't. (I had three (3) other people "test drive" this chair and none of them liked it either.)It was sturdy but I cannot attest to the weight limit because I don't weigh 300 pounds.NOTE: This chair did not come with free return shipping. My mistake in not noticing that because I bought three (3) of them and now I have to pay to send all of them back.

The chair is nice looking and roomy but the leg section is way too short and I am on the shorter side 5'5" so if I say it is short than it is. This is not the only gravity chair we have and it shocked me for the price how uncomfortable the leg area is. another 6 to 8 inches and it would have been normal. Do not want to mess with sending it back but might look at putting material on bottom to help.

This one is my second one. I use it several hours a day year round.It's comfortable and it folds and unfolds nicely. The frame is sturdy steel, powder coat painted. The drink holder is great and doesn't degrade in the sun.Overall, it's a good chair.But... The bolts that hold the frame together come loose over time. A little red loctite solves it nicely if you're a bit handy.After a year of frequent use, the shock/bungi cord that holds up the seat material to the frame breaks. Again, if you are handy it's easily solved by replacing it. Mine always breaks in the horizontal part of the seat.The big problem is that the fabric is not waterproof and a minor hassle to dry out in the sun. It also picks up skin oils and stains.In spite of all that, it's a great sitting chair. And likely with normal use will last several years.
