Very happy with these loungers.  They are stable, lightweight and easy to put together.  The cushion is comfortable.  You can likely use them without the cushion, but I haven’t tried that yet.  The colour is a charcoal grey despite looking black in the photos.  The only downside is that the cushion attaches, a little too loosely, on the top two corners.  This allows the cushions to shift easily so that they are slightly askew at the bottom.
