Best Choice Products Oversized Padded Zero Gravity Chair, Folding Outdoor Patio Recliner, XL Anti Gravity Lounger for Backyard w/Headrest, Cup Holder, Side Tray, Polyester Mesh - Gray

This is the second one I’ve bought. It is really easy to operate, very comfortable, and reasonably priced. I read a post dated July 9th by Sureshoe on this chair and took his advice and have a bit more to add. First, Sureshoe suggested tightening the screws some to prevent the nut from coming off. Great idea. Now, add to that some LocTight/ thread lock compound to the threads exposed as in pic. This will add to the probability of the nut staying on. Second, I took some 3/4” foam pipe insulation (3/4” hole and about 2” in diameter), made a slit along the slit line in the foam tubing and cut four 5” pieces to attach to the corner bottom braces so as to buffer the hard ground or ground irregularities. By protecting the braces this way, the plastic is less likely to wear out or crack. They are attached with two zip ties. Next, I attached about a 20” or so piece of the same foam pipe insulation around the lower part that comes up to meet/hold one’s feet. The pic shows the three zip ties I used…..with…..the pulled out tabs for tightening the zip ties facing downward away from where my legs/feet will rest. Now the chair is, imho, perfect. It rests on padding not wearing out the plastic corner braces, has padding for my feet, and the nuts are more firmly set and less likely to loosen up and fall off. I have owned many of such chairs for camping, porch use, and for hours of sitting at car shows and these are simply THE best I’ve come across. After a while with the “pool noodle like” foam pipe insulation, I replaced them with a denser foam pipe insulation and put a rubber tape on the bottoms to protect the insulation from an abrasive ground. The cheaper pool noodle type foam tended to pop/crush real easily causing me to redo with the denser pipe insulation. I also double rolled with pipe insulation the foot rest so there is no digging into the backs of your legs when resting your feet/legs on it. I used 3/4” ID for the covering of the metal leg piece and 11/4” ID to go over the first covering. Using the next size bigger allows for a more thorough wrap on top of the first. Btw…..when I put the foam on the bar prior to the zip ties, I put rubber cement on the metal bar and the inside of the foam so as to prevent free rolling. I also used rubber cement on the outside of the first foam and on the inside of the second foam all prior to doing up the zip ties. See pics 4-7. This did not take too long to do and is well worth the effort. It also does not cost much to do. Both my chairs have been working great and my long legs no longer get that “dug in” soreness after resting them on the double-padded foot rest while napping in the chair on my porch. Well…..spring is almost here, and my wife decided she wanted one of these too. Yep….I ordered a third chair and got it today. It came quickly and had no damage. I put the lock -tite on the 4 or 5 nuts on each side and it’s ready to go out to the screened in porch soon. Just thought you might like to know that my buying a third one means I really like these. After all, my car show chair (lots of sitting) did half a season last year just wonderfully.

Love the chair. Bought to replace another ZG chair. Wish it were a bit higher in profile. Just had knee replacement surgery and getting in and out of chairs can be challenging if they sit too low. I like the side attachment for drinks and phone but wish it were attached because if you forget and fold up the chair it falls off. Well built and good value for the cost. Use a pool noodle to cushion the foot rail.

Hello amazonians! How about getting away from paid reviewers and hear a review from a real person with nothing to gain! I know.... it's weird. 1. Chair is great! Nothing wrong with it. I'll add it's lighter than previous zero gravity chairs I've bought. Mentioning that just because I didn't see it mentioned in the countless auto-reviews. Light. Easy to recline. Lock in the spot you like. 2. I'm 5'11" and while I don't mind lying my legs over the footrest bar, I wish it was 2" longer. This would require the chair to sit up taller and be overall....longer. I feel this chair is optimized for a 5'9" person. Lying my legs over the bar isn't a deal breaker but when I put my feet up on the bar, bending my knees, I'd prefer not to bend then so much. It's a little short to get a 5 star rating from me. I wish they had small, medium, large choices. Oh well. 3. Table is garbage. See my photo. It's hard to tell with the angle but look how much my beer is tilting. See that? I've already spilled one. (Sad face) I actually like the design idea. Click the table on the legs on either side of the chair and you're done. Unfortunately it sucks. Also the amount of options on the table is flawed. There's: 1 small cup holder in the front. 1 large cup holder in the back. A phone slot. And a magazine/book/tablet slot. Too much. There's not enough flat area provided. Ideally they would offer just the large slot. You can put anything in it and don't need the small phone slot. Keep the large drink holder in the back, make it bigger, and you're done! The drink holder in the back will hold a 16oz pint glass. Wanna put your yeti/hydroflask/etc 40oz thermos in it? Nope.... If you have one of those top heavy thermoses with the smaller bottom, it'll fit. And the small drink holder in the front holds nothing, really. Except maybe your vape pen. They should make the back drink holder big enough to hold 40oz thermoses (most common size sold) and with the removal of the front drink holder (do you really need two drink holders???) have the rest of the table a flat surface so you can rest things on it. When I sip my beer and try to put it down, the edge of the glass keeps falling in the phone slot, tipping over. Super lame. I agree with: is it really that hard? Touche But remember....I'm in chill mode, bra. Stuff gets tipped over easy.... Chair is great overall. Wish it came in multiple sizes for people (most people..) over 5'7". Fire the table design guy! :) just kidding, don't fire him/her. It sucks though. Good idea! Try again.... Lastly...it would be nice if the chair had a pocket on the back of the chair so you can put the table in it when you fold up and are ready to leave. You're left to carry this tiny table with you that can get easily lost. These are super small changes with the exception of the multiple size chair suggestion. If they did this, Id be the ultimate zero gravity chair.

This chair is great quality the material seems very thick and durable. It’s quite stable and the size is impressive. It’s not tight. I love the tray feature. There was little assembly just adding the tray table which was a cinch. I recommended

I like this chair, easy to lock in position, packaged extremely well, comfortable and looks well-made I would buy again or recommend to a friend.

Oh my goodness this chair is so comfortable and nice. The chair I had for the last few years was a little cheap chair from dollar general. This chair is big enough for me and I’m 6 feet tall and I weigh around 210-214 it came fully assembled in the box wrapped in bubble wrap and the detachable cup holder holds a phone tablet and two cups, one which holds a coffee cup and one that holds a regular cup. It’s not too heavy and the material is quality, and only time will determine the longevity. With the chair fully reclined it’s too long to have it sitting straight forward on my balcony, but if I turn it sideways no problem 😉 I can use it for sun bathing.😌 I’ve bought from Best Choice before and am still happy with my previous purchase which was from last year so I feel as long as I buy a cover for my zero gravity chair it should last me a good while.

My weight is under the maximum rating for the chair and the chair visually appeared that it would support me easily. However, while sleeping in it for the second time in the zero gravity position, which is most comfortable in this chair. I awoke in the night with the back of my head hitting hard against the floor (using it indoors to ensure that I can use it when traveling) and with my right shoulder hitting the frame of the chair (later caused a large bruise in that area). I didn't know what happened, and at 75 years old I struggled to get out of the chair because of my semi-inverted position. After getting up I noticed that the backs of both plastic armrests were torn from their mounts and both mounting bolts were severely bent; bolts that attach to the lower and upper sections of the chair. With that happening, the entire upper half of the chair broke free from those mounts and the upper half of my body tumbled to the floor. My right shoulder was also bruised when it came in contact with the tubular frame with the forced of my body ramming downward against it. After seeing the damaged ends of the armrests and bent mounting pins that supported that upper section, I understood that was why this happened. It's a flimsy mount, poorly engineered by loading up the main back support by using 1/4 inch bolts through plastic. After careful inspection, I noticed that the locknuts on other bolts in the chair were loose, as if they were never tightened fully (the chair comes fully assembled). I thought that maybe the company wanted more freedom of movement when tipping the chair back back, so perhaps they didn't tighten them fully. There is also an issue with the braking mechanism in the chair with the looped-locked finger controls that put a tab into a grooved slot to lock. This is also plastic and it could have caused this near catastrophe to occur had it failed to maintain the lock while the chair is fully back. When the chair collapsed, the inside bolt holes in the frame tubing itself were ripped open, leaving only the outer holes left to support the upper rack, which in-turn gave way causing the upper deck to lose ALL attachment to the base, and fall. I have since rebuilt the chair with sturdy materials and mounts and inserted a new STOP bolt to keep the chair from going too far over-center and collapsing the upper rack the way it did on mine. I don't trust the finger locks the way their designed. I hope the company will take a look at the whole design and re-evaluate their engineering to make the chair sturdy and safer than what it currently is. Anytime someone is leaning back in a zero gravity chair, their safety is highly dependent on the bolts and attachment to the base, plus the unit should have a robust locking mechanism to keep the upper back support from collapsing all the way backward the way mine did.

Saved me after my surgeries. I even had one shipped to California and donated it to another woman with a brain tumor. She loves it!

A few issues at the beginning with our order getting lost. But having contacted the seller he fixed the situation promptly and resent the chair. Received the replacement quickly. The chair is great and my wife loves it. We will order a second one soon from the same company.
