so far so good, however I worry about the plastic piece that attaches the 2 halves together ripping. I have tried and can not use this lounger as a chair - i cant get it to set up in the water and that is kind of deceiving in the pictures - the pix give you the illusion that it will sit up in water and I cant get it to. other than that it works great. - just unsure of future problems with ripping.
