I have bought this type of chair in the past for the beach, however, I wanted this type for our lanai by the pool.  I was happily surprised by the quality of the surface material, thick and firm, which was different from the other ones that was more porous and good for draining water.  I liked it enough to order a second one.  The size is perfect to fit a variety of sized people very comfortably,  Everything worked fine and is well built.
