What the listing says
- ENHANCED COMFORT: Redesigned with a second tension line around the frame that distributes weight more evenly, delivering improved support and a more comfortable, relaxing seat
- SUPPORTIVE HIGH-BACK DESIGN: Seat height is 11 inches (from ground to seat base) and 18.5 inches (to front edge), so the longer leg poles make sitting down and standing up easier, while with a backrest height at 27 inches, the tall back provides added neck and shoulder support for extended lounging
- FAST, EASY SETUP: Shock-corded poles snap into place and molded corner pockets improve pole support, making assembly quick, intuitive, and dependable every time
- BUILT-TO-LAST FRAME: Strong DAC aluminum alloy and reinforced nylon resin hubs deliver lasting stability, built to handle frequent use and outdoor conditions
- PORTABLE & FUNCTIONAL: With a packed dimension at 4.5x6x18.5 inches, the compact, collapsible frame packs small for easy transport, with an integrated side pocket and headrest flap to keep essentials close and head support dialed in
