I've always wanted one of these zero gravity chairs . I've had friends who have dropped 100 bucks just on one . Even though they are comfortable, I felt like I could find one cheaper so I turned to Amazon and found this one and immediately bought two, one for me and my husband.I will be honest when I say that most things I own I "run" pretty hard until it is dead or no longer usable. My outdoor furniture is no exception to my abuse. Once spring came (I purchased these in December) I had them outside constantly. I'm not one to fold them up and put them in a shed or garage. The fabric has overall held up very well during this particularly hot and sunny summer. The head rest shows some discoloration (as you can tell by the photos - brown area , the white splotch is bird poop) ... But it seems as if it is just dust (we live on a dirt road ) and most likely can be power washed/scrubbed off .If you have never owned one of these chairs they are quite versatile . They are attractive and substantial enough to hold their own as deck and/or outdoor furtinure - but still light enough to take to a bonfire, camp out , etc. they are a bit heavy to carry long distances , so I wouldn't take them to an outdoor concert for instance, if I had to walk more than a block or two ...I LOVE the color (gray.) It worked perfect with the outside of our house and looks more expensive than it actually is .As for the actually sitting part (the whole reason you are probably looking to buy a chair !) it's extremely comfortable ! I fall asleep in these things at least once a week - especially if I'm by the fire ! The fabric is not itchy and doesn't irritate the backs of your legs, even in the summer when they are sweaty. The head rest is a nice bonus - adjustable and removable for all hieghts and preferences . The foot mechanism that makes the chair recline and come back up is fluid and easy to use (even after being outside all summer !)I really would reccomend this to anyone needed outdoor furniture. You can't go wrong for the price and quality
