I replaced very similar chairs I had for close to eight years, purchased from the hardware store down the street from me. These gravity chairs are perfect for my setup although as you can see we have them in our foyer currently because it is cold out, the color is a nice accent, and made of very durable steel (this is what sets these chairs apart from my former ones). When I recline the chair back all the way back, it almost feels like I'm floating. Although I purchased this for my patio setup, these chairs can be used outside at the pool, the beach, and camping. Another neat feature is you can lock the position you are comfortable sitting in. I am very happy with my purchase.
