I thought, and reviewed, all options for chaise lounges before deciding on these.  We decided on these for economic factor, as well as safety.  I must say, we were pleasantly surprised to see the detail and quality of the cushions that came with the lounge.  It has the velcro attachment, has a reasonable amount of thickness, and when wet the water beads and rolls off. With regards to safety, the legs lock into place underneath, thus, making less likely to buckle.  They look really great, classy, and far more expensive than what we paid.
