This is the perfect chair for my needs. Its comfortable to sit upright, but nice to be able to recline as well. I wanted that option to relax on the deck. The little side table is also nice so that you dont need to have room to add an extra table. So far Ive only used the chair without the cushions because of the weather. Thats my only complaint. It would be nice to have weather proof cushions since this is primarily an outdoor chair. I will probably buy some weather proof cushions to use in addition to those provided. This was a good price for this type of chair.
