Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
With zero stress on the body's joints and spine, relaxing in this anti-gravity outdoor recliner evokes the sensation of floating on water. The recliner's suspension system employs strong elasticized cords that lace the seat to the frame, yielding firm but flexible ergonomic support as the seat conforms to the body. Use the arms to adjust and lock the recliner into your choice of position, from slightly elevated legs to practically horizontal. An attached headrest can be removed and used for lumbar support. The seat of 100-percent Textilene - a synthetic fabric made of polyester fibers coated with resin - aluminum frame, and steel legs all resist the damaging effects of sun, rain, rust, and staining and are easy to keep clean. The palette of bronze, gray, black, and champagne adds a stylish look and coordinates nicely with other pieces in Strathwood's line of outdoor furniture. The recliner folds compactly for storage and measures 63.7 by 26.8 by 29.3 inches. It has a weight capacity of 250 pounds.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just my opinion:, October 17, 2007

By	M. Lohr (Naples, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

O.K. I read the reviews before ordering the chair and again after getting and trying the chair. The truth is, every review is correct.

I think if you have not used an "anti-gravity" chair before you will be pleased. If, however, you've experienced some of the competition, you won't be all that impressed. Not to say that you won't like the chair, you just probably won't get too excited.

My chair came very quickly; just a few days. However, like another reviewer said, "it looked like it had been through a storm". It was packed poorly. When UPS delivered the box, the box was beat up and half open. It looked as though someone had tried to re-tape the box. I wonder if it came completely open during shipping or if it had been returned by a customer and then used to fill my order. There was no "stuffing" in the box to prevent the chair from moving around during shipping and it did get banged up a bit, but nothing major. The chair does wobble until I sit in it as well. I'm not sure why they call it an "anti-gravity" chair. Essentially, it's a hybrid between a beach chair and a lounge chair. It does not recline as much as I expected. For some reason, I expected it to recline enought so that my feet would be raised above my head. It doesn't; as a matter of fact, it doesn't even recline enough to make me horizontal. On the plus side, I think it feels pretty sturdy. I'm 5' 10" and about 235 lbs. and I feel pretty safe sitting in it. As a matter of fact, I was reclining in it and one of my small children decided to join me. Like some of the others said, it is a little on the heavy side. So if you plan on carrying this thing around, and you're not into hauling, get something that's lighter. On the other hand, I like the fact that it's heavier. I can leave in on my back porch and not have to worry about the wind blowing it into the pool.

In closing, let me just add that I bought this chair because I have a pinched nerve in my back. I expected the chair to allow me to raise my feet above my head to take pressure off the pinched nerve (now that I think about that, it probably wouldn't have worked anyways). I have never used an anti-gravity chair before, but I have used some recliners that did a better job. Of course, they were 10 times the price. Nonetheless, it is still a firm, but comfortable, chair. My point is, you will be either pleased or dis-pleased depending on your expectations and your intended use of the chair. I am giving it three stars because including "anti-gravity" in the product description was a little misleading and set my expectations for something that it doesn't do. I do think it meets the expectation for a "deluxed adjustable recliner" though. But that's just my opinion. Hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon is AMAZING!, October 31, 2007

By	Alice Cheng "Lawyer-To-Be!" (Davis, California, USA) - See all my reviews

I ordered this chair yesterday (10/30/07 between noon-1pm). To my surprise, UPS was at my door at 1:30pm TODAY. I did receive an email from Amazon last night around 8pm saying that it's already shipping but I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly! By the way, I used the super saver shipping so it was free! Funny thing is, I ordered some CDs and DVDs with this order too, but I'm sure those'll take longer to get here.

Haven't sat in it too much yet, but I did try it out. I've never used a chair like this before, so it took me a little bit to figure out how to fold it out, lock it, etc. It comes fully assembled so all you have to do is get it out of the box and unfold it into the position you want. It was shipped in a cardboard box which did not contain any padding (this didn't bother me too much, since the chair looks pretty sturdy). The chair was pretty comfortable when I tried it, though! It's nothing fancy, just mesh-like material and metal parts. If you're looking for something fancy then you're probably looking in the wrong place...but if you're looking for practical I'd say this is it. I like how it folds up and would be easy to transport. It might be kind of heavy for a smaller person, but I think for a person of average size it's totally manageable.

THANK YOU AMAZON for going above and beyond. You made my day! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars why give a bad rating to a product you never tried?, July 20, 2007

By	Kevin Zaleski "ClassyGroundcovers.com" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yes, they were slow to ship, that does not make this product deserve a bad rating. It's well made, comfortable and a great value for the $50 I paid.
