The egg chair is sturdy, heavy and perfect to sit in. It's a big bigger in size then other egg chairs because you can rock as well as turn 360 as opposed to just rocking. It was a two person job to put it together (specifically with opening the egg itself and bolting the sides together) but it wasn't difficult. My only complaint is the cushions that come with it are not really that great. Sitting in the chair for an extended amount of time, the bottom cushion flattens, leading to the bottom bar uncomfortably being shoved into you. The back cushion isn't really enough to sit up nicely for someone tall like me either. I ended up using a Backrest pillow with arms and it works wonderfully. Sitting sideways in the egg is also nice as it's big enough to do so. Overall I recommend this. I used it as indoor furniture and if you're going to do the same, I just suggest making a lot of room for it.
