So, it is a pretty comfy chair, and our only complaint is that the footrest is a little on the small side so it doesn't cradle our feet like we would expect.  My six-year-old loves it though and uses it the most.  I like that the pole are metal on the one I got so it looks like it will weather pretty good.  We use it at our weekend place so we take it down at the end of the weekend so we can't really tell yet how it will wear.
