These new recling chairs are lighter than all of my previous folding chairs, but when you recline, they stay reclined. I love these for reading or taking a nap. The seat doesn’t sag so my back has great support. The handy removable snack trays are perfect for holding either a glass, a cup of coffee or tea as well as a book and my cell phone. If there is a hurricane approaching I fold up the chairs and put them off our lanaii. The black tweedy fabric has sturdy lacing and the arms can be easily wiped of any dust or pollen. The plastic foot bar covers the actual metal bar but sometimes moves around to expose it to rusting, so I must spray that with an oil when cleaning.
Otherwise, I think they are great chairs for a smaller patio. They were very reasonably priced, too!
