The first one came so damaged it looked like a gorilla smashed it against a brick wall and the box was not damaged.  Wafair completely and quickly sent a replacement.  It's washable and the back moves up and down easily and very light to move.  I have a black longue cushion on it . I am 108 pounds so was not concerned about how sturdy it was but it appears to be. I am 5 ft 7 and my legs do not reach the end .  The portion that extends down in the front to switch to a chair position is so so...I don't use it.  It is exposed to the Florida elements and is standing up to the climate.  We get humid weather which can lead to mold but I have never seen any on the longue.  Carefully check your purchase for any cracks.  Wafair is good about replacing.  I was able to put the damaged one out for trash pickup but many may not have that option.  Kept the wheels from the first one just in case.  All my patio furniture is made out of some sort of plastic but very modern looking.
