We got these in the mail about 2 weeks ago. Took them both out of the box and they are quite heavy for me.
After seeing other bad reviews on here about parts of the chair being rusted or bolts or screws not tightened, I went over these chairs with a fine tooth comb. There was NO rust or lose scews or bolts.
My husband is over 6 ft and weighs about 250 lbs. He fit into his chair comfortably. No bending of the legs of the chair or anything of the sort.
Now we will be taking them camping to the coast. We know they will start to show rust. The best way to keep this from happening too soon we spray Free lubricant on the working parts or metal parts. Also wash the chairs off good of any salt water or sand. Then spray them again with Free lubricant or wd40. It will help any metal frame chair to last longer.
I bought a chair from big lots to take out on the beach for 20 bucks. I do the same with that chair with the lubricant spray and its been down to the gulf on the beach for the last 3 years. It has no rust on it yet.
Great chairs for the price. And they DO come with cup holders if that is important for some people.
Thr material is made of strong mesh that doesn't feel cheap at all. The frame seems very sturdy. Photos enclosed with this review.
Im not one to leave bad reviews , but I must be honest here, I read reviews and for the money thought these seemed ok for a Pair of chairs, but I was skeptical and still purchased...Not only were chairs delivered in a trashed box and parts of chairs exposed & scuffed. But chairs themselves had blemishes, showed dirty (needed to clean brand New chairs!!!!) and the locks do not hold, you can physically see the locks spin themselves backwards & loosen!!! The lower trim piece that prevents scuffing to lower area of chair tube (foot area that makes contact with patio/ deck/ ground/ etc) isn't even attached on 1 of the chairs, 1 side blows in the wind. I really question the quality of these chairs and hope they last longer than I think there going to. Comfort wise they are ok, But like I said the lock doesn't hold, Cheap design, Spins itself loose. Im 188 lbs the chair held me fine, cup holder tray is a plus I guess. I think you get what you pay for in these chairs, Buyers be careful may be better options out there
Update 7-12-17: Chairs got rained on and rusted!! I have NEVER seen an outdoor product rust in less than 24 hrs! Powder coat used, must be the cheapest offered (if chairs are actually indeed powder coated??? ) Believe what others say!! Spend extra $ and get a better chair. If I hadn't received chairs in Trashed box I would return! Definitely a big fail and worst purchase I have probably made on Amazon. Hopefully you read reviews and don't make the same mistake, this is a warning!! Im being generous with the 2 star...
Having just received these chairs after reading a good number of the reviews, I was shocked to find that while many reviewers complained that the locking mechanism did not "hold" the chair in position effectively, no-one mention the finger pinching potential if you grip the arm above the knob allowing your fingers to get between the top of the knob when in the upright position but if left there when moving the chair to full recline the space between the underside of the arm and the knob diminishes to nothing resulting in a very painful finger pinch. VERY DANGEROUS!!
I removed the knob and locking mechanism to eliminate this hazard and still found that the chair stayed put in any position relying on the natural balance that results from the inherent zero gravity design.
I really like these chairs but note that both were incorrectly assembled. One has the right side locking device installed on the inside of the arm. The other has a missing rivet on the foot guard. I would call these factory seconds, new but with defects
Unfortunately, these were great for the first few months I had them. Very comfortable and a great way to relax after a long day after work in my backyard and watch the sunset. I order the set of 2 and while one broke within 5 months of delivery, the other remained intact until recently, which caused me to fall directly through in and fracture my tailbone when attempting to sit down. I weigh approx 185 lbs, so this should not have been an issue.
This resulted in a visit to the ER, which cost me an additional $500 dollars in addition to the physical pain I will endure through physical therapy and other costs associated with my recovery. I wish I would have paid a little more for a better product initially and hope Best Choice Products can refund my funds for the defective product.
They are made out of smaller tubing than my chair I bought at a brick and mortar store. They are very short! I've3 read some answered questions here that state people who are 6 feet tall think they fit just fine. All I can think is that the manufacturer cheapened the chairs since those reviews were written a year ago. My husband is 5'7" and his feet hang over the end of the chair when it's reclined. ALSO, this chair does not recline back as far as real zero gravity chairs! I didn't want to pay to ship them back, so I'm stuck with them. I went shopping and found good ones with sturdy frames and a standard length. Guess I can give one to my nine year old granddaughter. They really do seem like they should be labeled and sold as youth chairs. :-(
Purchased for my boyfriend to use over the summer with the travel trailer. He wanted them so badly, but would never buy for himself. This was a Christmas gift...we've used the heck out of 'em! They're durable, comfortable and my favorite thing is that they dry really quickly. I also am a huge fan of the drink tray. Our camping buddies (who we usually camp with) had the same chairs in a different color, but they didn't get the trays with them. I actually had to hide my trays because they kept threatening to take them when I wasn't looking. LOL...these are wonderful chairs. Very happy with this purchase and hope to get 2 more for the boys, so they can stretch out in them after swimming. (My son falls asleep in them almost every time he sits down. They're that comfy!)
Product is still in the box and put away waiting for summer.
Looking forward to using them both.
Grommets already starting to rust after two weeks.
Great value
