Some problems, but does the job.
By E. Fieseler
I would give this chair five stars, except for a few troublesome things. Most annoying is that the levers that are supposed to lock the chair in position do not do the job. They may slow the descent, but the chair is definitely not locked, and if you're not balanced carefully or if you move wrong while napping, you will suddenly sit up. I've read about this problem in various reviews around the web, so it's not just a malfunction in my chair. This is an engineering problem that needs to be solved. In the meantime, best advice is to sit *way back* so that most of your body weight is in the upper half of the chair. (And hold the cat on your stomach, not on your thighs.) Additional nuisances: First: while the pillow that is on the chair is the perfect size for lumbar support, it is too thin for neck support and needs to be supplemented; really, the chair should come with two pillows. Second: the little plastic feet come off the tubular frame, and I've finally just taken all four of them off. Third: the microfiber arm inserts snag, and while they're better than hard plastic arms and do in fact make good mousepads, they don't look new for long. All that said, I would buy this chair again. Because of it, my injured foot is healing faster and I can make it through the day with less pain.EDIT: I've used this chair *in my living room* every day for nearly two years now. It is EXCELLENT. Fifteen minutes resting in the farthest back position in this chair feels equal to a two hour nap. It's wonderful. I still have to supplement the neck pillow for reading. Everybody needs this chair. Truly wonderful.Another Edit: It's now February of 2013, and I've been using my beloved chair in my living room every day for what seems like forever since I purchased it in August of 2008. I actually wore out the elastic lacing, but a replacement set was easy to find and very simple to install. (Count your holes before purchase to be sure you get the right length.) Replacement arms are available, but I just pinned the sleeves of an old sweatshirt over the worn out padding and microfiber (?) covering, and we're good to go. The mesh seat can also be replaced, but mine is nearly as good as new after all this time, except for one pulled thread where the cat snagged it. The seat is very rugged...and very comfortable! This chair literally makes my days possible! I've got a painful chronic foot problem made worse when I don't take a half hour break kicked way back in my chair every couple of hours; sometimes I can hardly wait to get into my chair! Not exaggerating. What relief it brings, not just to my poor hut foot but to all of me! Like I said before, *everybody needs this chair*!

Lafuma RSX XI
By kdhirtes
I own one in Germany and like it. Now I own two more here in the US. Don't buy look-a-like imitations, buy the "Lafuma" brand. Costs more, but worth the price. Spare parts are available, should you ever need them. Made en France, no less. I have owned the one in Germany for many years and it still looks like new with minimal care in the Spring (soap & water).
