We were looking for different lounge chairs that were easy to get into and out of and had to fit a narrow place.  We saw these and thought they would suffice given the space - and they did.  But we were also concerned about the comfort.  They are spacious, comfortable and we love the way they look.  And my mother-in-law's name was "Shirley" so we had to chuckle as we knew she would have loved them too.
