2.0 out of 5 stars Great and comfortable but.........., July 25, 2005

This review is from: Lafuma Model 46970 RSX XL LaGrande Mesh Recliner, Black (Black Frame) (Lawn & Patio)

This reclines is as advertised. It is comfortable and great to use.

UNTIL a pivot bolt self locking nut backs off and the sholder bolt seperates allowing the chair to come apart causing the frame to bend when you wind up on the floor. This is the bolt that you raise and lower yourself from reclined to sitting positions.

BTW this happenerd today 7/25 and the chair was ordered on 5/31

The threaded part of the bolt is not lonf enough for the self locking nut to do its job.

Today is Sept. 4th 2005 an update on my Lafuma experience.

Called two days ago to the Lafuma people asking where my repair parts are, boy did they play dumb. Said I never called about broken chair parts.

DO NOT buy this chair based on thier lousy customer service.

BTW they said this is a known problem with thire chairs, why then don't they correcxt it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some problems, but does the job., August 3, 2008

This review is from: Lafuma RSX Xl Mesh Recliner, Forest (Lawn & Patio)

I would give this chair five stars, except for a few troublesome things. Most annoying is that the levers that are supposed to lock the chair in position do not do the job. They may slow the descent, but the chair is definitely not locked, and if you're not balanced carefully or if you move wrong while napping, you will suddenly sit up. I've read about this problem in various reviews around the web, so it's not just a malfunction in my chair. This is an engineering problem that needs to be solved. In the meantime, best advice is to sit *way back* so that most of your body weight is in the upper half of the chair. (And hold the cat on your stomach, not on your thighs.) Additional nuisances: First: while the pillow that is on the chair is the perfect size for lumbar support, it is too thin for neck support and needs to be supplemented; really, the chair should come with two pillows. Second: the little plastic feet come off the tubular frame, and I've finally just taken all four of them off. Third: the microfiber arm inserts snag, and while they're better than hard plastic arms and do in fact make good mousepads, they don't look new for long. All that said, I would buy this chair again. Because of it, my injured foot is healing faster and I can make it through the day with less pain.

EDIT: I've used this chair *in my living room* every day for nearly two years now. It is EXCELLENT. Fifteen minutes resting in the farthest back position in this chair feels equal to a two hour nap. It's wonderful. I still have to supplement the neck pillow for reading. Everybody needs this chair. Truly wonderful.

1.0 out of 5 stars RSX XL LAGRAND RECLINER, June 8, 2006

I received a painful injury and almost lost my finger to this recliner. I grabbed the arm rest, and tried to slide back into the recliner. The mechanism under the arm rest snapped closed on my finger. I could not get out of this "trap". Had my wife not been there to help, I would have lost my finger. No way should this chair be sold to an unsuspecting public!
