This is a very study and comfortable chair. The first time I unfolded it, I was concerned because it seemed to be stuck, but I soon discovered how to open it and realized that because it is so sturdy, that is why it appeared stuck. Then I read the instructions (men normally don��t read them) and I can now open and close it without any difficulty.
I am at my doctor��s recommended weight, but I feel confident that it could hold a person who weighed another 100 pounds. I would highly recommend this lounger. It is high quality and reasonably priced.
