PHI VILLA Oversized Padded Zero Gravity Chair

very comfortable. tricky to get into. sturdy.

This is an amazing stress reliever! Very comfortable - in fact I usually fall asleep! I keep it on my exposed patio & it still looks and feels great - very sturdy. It reclines all the way back and your whole body feels the zero gravity shift. Super relaxing. Takes all the pressure off your joints, your back - basically your whole body. You can also sit upright in the chair (it locks at every angle) . Great chair to hang out in.

I bought 2 of these to replace a pair of Z-G chairs that the elastic had rotted out on. they're very comfortable and the pillows are much nicer than the ones they replaced. the tubular frame seems just a bit smaller diameter than the previous chairs and the locking mechanisms for angled sitting seems like they could be a bit more robust for going in and out of the back of the car. however, even if they did break, the chairs would still be very usable since they are balanced very well and don't really move much even when the locks are not tightened down. otherwise, a very nice chair.

Lots of room and comfortable

When you’re reclined, your weight is evenly distributed and the full seat is suspended by bungee cords. It’s extremely comfortable. Perfect length, my feet just hit on the footrest, I’m 5’7”. The locks on the sides of mine don’t work. That doesn’t really matter bc it doesn’t freely swing. Reclining is controlled by pushing the armrests. It’s not the easiest to get up & out of. You basically have to start to fold it up to get out, it’s not pretty. But it’s very comfortable & cost alot less than the other chairs. The side tray is useless. The headrest is comfy & can be moved wherever you need a cushion or extra support. UPDATE: It seems the sliding action under the arms at frame & lock (see pic) were stuck where they slide back & forth reclining the seat separately from the frame, which has changed the whole experience of the chair. They must’ve worked themselves loose with use. Now very easy to get in & out of! Both locks work. The tray is usable since the seat slides freely & frame stays folded open separately but has to be removed to fold up to store. Still very comfortable. I love this chair! I bought it to watch games on tv outside so being able to move in & out with the fluctuation of the game is great. It’s supportive & firm-now that the kinks are all worked out. So if it will only recline when you open & close the whole frame & the locks don’t work, check the slide action under the arms.

After reading a lot of reviews conflicting. I find the chair very comfortable, easy to open and close and made a very good quality. Good job good chair nice for laying out in the sun or sitting and getting some sun. Multiple positions. Does not lay all the way flat just an FYI.

this chair is not as advertised in the picture. you would be wise to buy another chair. it does not go into a seating position as pictured in the "how to lock". The picture on the page shows the chair with the legs spread apart and the seat in a mostly flat position. It will NOT go into that position no matter how hard I try. The incline of the seat with the support legs causes the seat of the chair to go into an angled position that is almost impossible to get out of. There is NO seating position. if you try and put the seat as the picture shows, the legs are in a position that is unstable at best. I included three pictures. One showing the position with the legs expanded to the minimum stable position, as you can see the seat of the chair is almost at a 45 degree angle and the back is not in a straight up and down positions. You have to literally climb up to get out of chair. The other picture is the position with the back only slightly inclined and as you can see the legs are not in a stable position and the seat is in a position that is not physically possible to sit. The last is the picture from the vendor showing how the chair should be able to be used. I have other chairs of this style that do have a seating position as advertised, this is not one of them, Obviously i will be returning both chairs. I consider them to be defective in their design.

Though there is 20.5" between the handles as roughly implied in the ad, there is only 18.5" width to put your legs, due to the hardware protruding inward from the handles. Otherwise I am pleased... it is quite sturdy, well made, comfortable and easy to use. UPDATE: I tried to buy an upgrade to their ‘XL’ model because it’s 3-4 inches wider, but Phi Villa would not even take this one back. They suggested I find someone to sell it to! They did offer me $30 to compensate, which I grudgingly settled for.
