This chaise lounge is made of a very strong plastic. Typically when I sit in a plastic chair, I'm convinced the legs might splay out beneath me. No concerns at all with this. It is very comfortable if you are sitting in a normal position. If you want to recline face down, need a cushion for sure. 

Pros: Very nice looking, sturdy, not cheaply built
Cons: Only left arm locks, so very easy to be off kilter when moving around
