This is the perfect chair for the top step of the pool. Feet in the pool, book in my hands, and relaxing!I’ve looked at those big plastic things but they are just too bulky. This is perfect and very comfortable. Love it!It’s aluminum and mesh, so it’s a little tippy because it’s so lightweight. But strong once you are in it.The chairs are a little taller than regular beach chairs so they are easier to get in and out of. I bought them to put on tanning ledge of my pool. Lightweight so I can remove them easilyI absolutely LOVE these chairs. Comfortable, sturdy and under 5 lbs. I broke down and paid full price for one, then happened upon this returned/used item for under $30. SCORE!! Now I have a set of 2. This chair only had a couple of scuff marks on one metal leg. Otherwise like new.Got this one to replace my chair I bought in the late 80's--yes, it did last that long! I hope the new one lasts just as long. With the price being high, I was glad to snag one off of Amazon Warehouse deals. The first one got lost by the UPS driver so someone else must be sitting it it. I waited for another Warehouse deal and finally it arrived. I will be sitting in it this coming beach season. The chair does not compare to what is available at the beach. As a family, we have bought several chairs and they have all been destroyed but my Telescope Casual has lasted close to 30 years. It is still hanging in there, but it will soon die so I bought a replacement.Great chair light weight but much thicker aluminum than other aluminum framed chairs really like the wood armrests and breathable fabric seat and back. MADE IN USA so I know the people that made it were paid to do so.I've had my chair for about 6 months and use it close to daily on my deck. The quality of the materials (fabric and wood arms) and construction are an obvious upgrade from the usual options out there.I love the high back, especially for the reclined positions. I do wish the arms locked in a bit more solidly, but it's a very, very minor note.Overall a definite thumbs up.Best aluminum beach chair availableI bought this chair for my son in law who is 6' It fits him well and for the sturdiness and durability, it is relatively lightweight making it perfect for bringing to the beach
