This was just what we wanted for the corner of our pool by the deep end.  It's not quite life guard height, but it's close enough for us and that was what we were going for.  I love the option to add an umbrella.  The material gets SUPER hot in the sun.  Towels or cushions help.  I used a ratchet set to put this together and did it solo.  The hardest part is starting the chair legs, but it goes together pretty smoothly after that.
