Promising review: “Love, love these chairs! Bought two for a lake house we share with another family. I wanted a sunroom to relax in with extra bedding available when needed.

Low to the floor when made into a chaise or bed, but still comfortable. Went with the teal color…material very soft, yet sturdy. Very happy with, especially for the price!” –Melinda
