Love these!  They are of the few that will lie completely flat ... so I can sunbathe on my stomach!  The fabric does shed water ... It's Sunbrella so it should continue to perform well for years!  Very nice size.  Even my 6'3" husband can lie comfortably on them.  The small wheels make these lounge chairs a breeze to move around the patio!  Glad I chose these!  We just got them, but if they hold up, they will be a real win!
