Swimways Terra Sol Sonoma All Weather Rattan Pool Chaise Lounge Float (Open Box)

Overall good product and quite comfortable. A little tipsy to get on and waves make it unstable

This is a nice looking chair honestly and half the price of other chairs like this. The husband is tall enough and heavy enough to sit on this chair on our beach entrance to the pool without having to fill it with water. I am 5' tall and the curvature of this chair with my height does not work at all. It's super uncomfortable and does not lay as flat as similar lounge chairs. We did not drill holes in it but it appeared there were some type of plugs it said you could remove but we didn't see how without damaging the chair. While they really look great and fancy'ish sitting by the pool it was not worth it to me to keep them for pool decor because I would not be using them.

Gets really hot if sitting in the sun. It does float, but also takes on some water internally, that you can't really empty out. More comfortable in the water than out of the water.

After I read a few other reviews and saw people putting holes in the bottom of these chairs so they take in water, I tried it myself. I was not disappointed. We needed these chairs for our baja shelf in the pool and didn't want to pay $700 for the chairs you fill with water and leave in the pool. So we bought these and have loved them.I put holes in the appropriate places and we then put them in the pool and fill them with water. Then they sit on the baja shelf perfectly without floating away. When I am done, I simply empty them and store them off to the side.People complained about the bolt rusting and I could see how that would happen however, I pull mine out after each use and the bolt seems to be fine for now.The only draw back I can see is the part you sit/lay on has bumps from the design and for me, it's a little "uncomfy" over time. Not enough to make me not use it but after a while I will have to get out. And then I have the little imprints on my back. They go away but I wish it was smoother. For now, we use a towel over it to add a little more comfort.If you don't want to pay top dollar for a chair you put on your baja shelf, do the hack people mentioned and you won't be disappointed.

For our new Baja shelf, I wanted to be able to have lunch with my feet in the water. A bistro set (made of Trex so it doesn't rust) and wicker chairs are great for that. I finally figured out the loungers are an alternative to pool floats, and you can put a small plastic table next to them for your drink or book. Based on the reviews here, I got 2 of these loungers, sold as used but really open box with all tags included, like new. I drilled 2 holes, one by the feet and one by the knees to let air out. They still floated. I drilled more holes, 2 in the back part (one underwater, one above water to let air out) and 4 in lower part under water - both sides, feet and butt, on the underside to be hidden. The back part sinks nicely, the front part still floats a bit when empty. You can see in the photo a wind storm moved one of them a few inches. I haven't yet figured out why the foot area still has an air bubble. The lounges themselves aren't all that comfortable (no back support), but it's April and we're waiting for the water to warm up. We plan to try yoga mats on top to make them more comfortable.
