Pool Mate Luxury Swimming Pool Patio Chaise Lounge Chair, Rattan, Blue

they fold up nice so when its windy they don't blow around the pool. They float, so I drilled a couple of holes in them, and now they don't float away from the Baja ledge. They are low enough that your seat is in the water, all in all a good chaise for the pool

Like many of you, I could not justify paying $699 plus shipping and tax for the purpose made ledge loungers. For $176 each on Amazon, I decided to give a pair of these a try. During my research, people mentioned drilling holes in the loungers to fill with water. I did not run across one set of pictures to show how many and where exactly people were drilling the holes. I decided to conduct my own experiment. Here is what I did...- I drilled a hole at the top of the lounger- the size was 7/8" to accommodate a rubber grommet that I decided to use as a plug- the rubber grommets were purchased on Amazon and are normally use for punch outs in electrical panels to protect wiring from the sharp metal edges- as I hoped, the centers of the grommets were solid- as part of my experiment on one lounger, I drilled two holes for the top portion- on the other I drilled a single hole for the top portion (fyi, for the lower portion of the loungers, I drilled a single hole on both loungers)- contrary to common belief the lounger with the single hole at the top portion filled with water just as quickly as having two holes in the top portion- to help weigh down the lower portion of the lounger, I drilled a hole for a grommet on the side panel of the lounger at the peak of the section (the area below where your knees rest)- I filled the back portion about 1/2 way up with swimming pool water- I filled the lower portion with water up to the hole I drilled in the side- I plugged the holes with the rubber grommets to give a clean look and to keep the water inside- The grommets have a groove in the middle for you to sandwich the plastic wall of the lounger- I used a small screwdriver to get the grommet to sit correctlyAs far as the actual loungers - here are my initial impressions:For $176 each, they were worth the experiment. The weight of the water in the upper panel does make the plastic bulge a little bit. It actually helps with lumbar support when you use the lounger. The loungers stay put on the baja shelf and do not move around at all. Fyi, my baja shelf is about 6 inches deep. I hope this was helpful.

This product is represented falsely. The seller makes you believe this lounger will sit on your Malibu shelf for sunbathing and relaxation. The reality is that it floats away and will not stay in an upright position when in the water- even if you pull out the plug holes to fill it with water to supposedly weigh it down.If you decide to lay on it in the water, the head of the lounger stays tilted back and down and it’s quite a rodeo getting on and off!It fails as a deck lounger because the seat is so low to the ground. It is not comfortable to get in or out of.The video posted with the description of this item is for a “Kai” brand shelf lounger which costs more than 1000.00. This leads you to believe that it is the ultimate pool shelf. It is not! Save yourself the hassle unless it comes with a free return.

I ordered these for my pool sundeck, and even though they float we made it work. My husband drilled sime fill and drain holes so that they don't float away. So far, no fading or cracking. I'm very happy!ETA: It's been about a year and they still look great. I'm very happy with this purchase!

I guess the people who drill holes in this and use it for the Baja shelf chair—and save about $500 by doing that—and the ones who gave this favorable reviews. If you are going to float on it: it tries to fold while you are on it, so you have to constantly push it back, and you have to be an expert balancer so you don’t tip over. It’s also very uncomfortable and looks cheap. I really wanted it to work, but no.
