This chair is absolutely awesome in every way! I have it in my screened in porch and love the ability to be able to just sit in it or sit cross-legged or even flip my feet up and have my back on the seat. The grab handles are nice for getting in and out. I could sit in this chair for hours and hours! I meditate in it, read, and journal. I've even watched a Kindle movie outdoors in it! This winter I do plan to bring it inside because I love it so much. I would suggest to get some side pillows to use as arm cushions or a head cushion if you flip your feet up. It does come with the 2 cushions you see in the pic. I would not leave those cushions out in the weather at all though.
