This is exactly what you would expect for the price. It's a bit rigid, but I really won't be sitting in this much. It's mostly just so the patio does look bare. However, it was full assembled and will fold down flat for storage in the winter. It is solidly put together.  It also came with a storage bag. Nice surprise. We will see if the bag can last an Iowa winter. So, if you want a full-time comfort chair this isn't it. If you want a patio piece of occasional use, I'd highly recommend. I only knocked it down a star because it's a value piece, not because there is anything wrong with it. As far as value pieces, I would highly recommend.
