Love this lounge! Very comfy. As you can see can be used with top up or down (includes attached tie to secure it down). Cushions do slide a lot. Will need to use it with one of those rug non-skid mat. Well worth the money. Also much larger than anticipated can easily fit 3-4 people laying down and many more when sitting on separated portions. Middle can be used as coffee table if you take cushion off. Was delivered in a giant (literally giant like 8ft by 4 ft by 4ft) box and one regular large sized box. Easy to unpack. Individual pieces not too too heavy. Recommend two people to move largest piece because of size not weight.
