The lounges were reasonably easy to assemble, are nice-looking, and seem quite sturdy. They are a bit hard to sit on for a long period (as in, they are like sitting on hard surface) , but add a towel and that is not as much of an issue. My primary concern is the fact that, I have to turn them on their sides when not in use because if it rains (or you are wet when you sit on them) water pools on the mesh material and does not go through. So it just sits there and that results in having stains on it already (after 2 weeks or less of having them). We have started just taking them inside if we are not going to be actively using them so that they dont sit with water on them. So I am a bit concerned about how they will hold up to the elements over time. I guess I wont be returning them, but Im not hopeful for long term satisfaction with them. A product like this should be better designed to withstand weather/water in my opinion. Time will tell...
