Great chair

Rating:*****
I just had back surgery, and cannot sit upright in a regular chair. I sent my husband out to get this from our neighborhood REI, and I have found it is ideal for my current needs. I have to keep my spine straight, so now I can sit down carefully, then when settled I can press until the chair reclines to just the right angle, with perfect knee support. It gives just the right firm support for my back, at exactly the most comfortable angle. Now I can read, watch television and take a nap in full comfort. The arms are positioned well so that I can use them to lever myself out of the chair without twisting. I know it wasn't designed for post-surgery use, but it is just great. And after recovery, I can fold it up and store it easily, that's if I'm willing to be parted from this most excellent recliner. I figure if its good for post-back surgery, its probably good support for those who don't have a back problem too.

Great chair (almost)

Rating:****
Chair seems to be well made and is comfy, but beware that the chair is not a full reclining chair like a zero-gravity chair (not full horizontal recline). I wish it were! Also, we ordered the "earth" (brown) version and it came with orange colored armrests which are really ugly. It's pictured online with grey armrests on the brown colored chair, but they're actually orange as shown on the green colored chair.

I'll buy another one if they can locate the chairs without the orange armrests. It will be a good deck chair, but too large and heavy to transport.

very comfortable, but heavy

Rating:****
Pros-Probably the most comfortable lounger on the market. Once you sit in it, you don't want to leave! I love the lock which holds the position you find most comfortable. Similar models require you to shift your body to hold them into place, but that is awkward and often doesn't work.
Cons-way too heavy for anything but car camping, outdoor events and home use. I wonder if it would have wider use if it was made in aluminum?

Negative Reviews:

Worthless junk

Rating:*
I bought one of these as a gift for my brother. In 2007 I bought a different lounger from REI. That lounger is great and serves me well. REI no longer carries that brand. Now, they sell this private labelled chair. Superficially it seems nicer than the chair I bought in 2007: It has a captive pillow slider, fine mesh fabric and angle locks. The chair motion is very smooth.

However, the construction quality is awful, even dangerous. One pivot screw fell out during the first use at the campground. I fixed that. But, several other screws worked themselves loose and fell out on my brother's return drive from the campground. We are fortunate no one was hurt using this refuse. Now, instead of a nice reclining lounger, my brother has something to fill his garbage bin.

It will rust from the inside out.

Rating:*
The tubes used for the frame are not completely sealed. Water gets in them in a rain storm, and when you pick it up to put it away, rusty water comes pouring from the tubes and makes a mess in your garage, patio, or camper.
It may not look like it's rusting from the outside, but once water gets in the tubes there is no way to competely dry them inside.

Comfy but ? quality.

Rating:**
Comfy but didn't even get one use out of it before one of the pivot screws fell out. I could not find it but REI gladly refunded my money. May buy a different brand.

Poor build quality

Rating:*
Screws fell out after less than one week. Was this product even quality tested?

Apparently, this is a chronic issue with these chairs. Why not do a recall?!

Designed for wide people rather than tall people. The XL is only going to fit folks under 6 feet tall.
