The way this chair is designed, it reminds me of a zero gravity chair, but then lower to the ground like a tanning/lounge chair. It has the same adjustability you get with tanning chairs where you can lay flat or sit up, but the size of the chair and the fabric and the way it's attached to the chair, all are just like a zero gravity chair. It does even have the same type of zero gravity recline as a typical zero gravity chair.It comes with a removable head rest and there's a handy pocket on the side for keeping things in. It fits my cell phone, sunglasses and water bottle with plenty of room to spare. It's a really comfortable lounge chair and perfect for tanning in!
