These chairs are so comfortable you can sleep on them! They’re easy to recline and move back to sitting position. There’s enough room where your arms can fit in the chair with you too although there’s also arm rests and the little table with cup holder are so functional and easy to store away when not needed. They’re a little pricey but so worth it! I’d rather take comfort over saving a few bucks

We have purchased many zero-gravity chairs in the past, always looking for the best bargains and all have lasted 2 or 3 summers. This year, we decided to go with a higher quality chair and so far we are 100% happy with the Portal chairs. They look great, are super comfy and the overall materials used are higher quality. We've only had them for a couple of weeks, but so far they are easily the best ones we've had.

ce fauteuil est confortable et semble assez solide mais il est difficile de se prononcer sur sa qualité si l'on utilise depuis une semaine à peine !

I like this chair a lot, you can comfortably recline low and observe the night sky to your content. I use it with my binoculars. It supports my weight (185 lbs) well and does not wobble at all. It is a bit heavy to carry, but easy enough for short distances.The chair is large enough and sturdy enough for a large man apparently, as there is quite a bit of room left when I lie in it. The max recline limit is perfect, as it takes you parallel to the ground. It can take you to any angle from 0 up to 90 degrees and stay put there, until you push to recline further. I highly recommend this for use around your home. It is good for long hours of use and does not cause fatigue. For sessions away from home where you may need a chair, but need to carry far from your parked spot, you may prefer a lighter chair. I use it even for club public observation sessions as I do not mind the extra weight.

After after our 20+ years old Lafuma chairs began failing, we started looking for another comparable brand (Lafuma's are pretty expensive now), perhaps something with a bit of padding. There were lots of things we liked about the Portal chairs; combined padding & breathable mesh, easily adjustable headrest (works great for lumbar support), included side table & colour options. I was hesitant about the XL sizing but there was not a "regular" size available so we went with it anyway. The quality is really excellent - they are beautifully finished and the adjustable headrest solution is genius (it just slides to where you want without fiddling with those annoying elastic back straps). The cushioned seat/mesh back is comfortable but not too hot and the side table stays nicely balanced when you adjust the chair. But a couple of things to note: (1) I am on the shorter/slighter side and find the XL a bit too large to be really comfortable. I find it awkward to push the chair into a reclining position - certainly not as smoothly as the Lafuma - and it is not possible to sit fully back and have my legs align naturally with the angles of the chair. My husband, on the other hand, absolutely loves it. I'll keep working on finding my comfort zone. (2) The Portal chair uses a locking system to position the degree of recline vs. the Lafuma friction system which just adjusts effortlessly. If you forget to lock your position, moving will jolt you upright pretty quickly. If you don't disengage the lock before starting to return to an upright position, it's pretty rough. I assume if that happens too many times, the mechanism will be stripped. Overall, this is an excellent quality chair and will, I'm sure, provide many years of use.

Very nice "Zero Gravity" chair. Although not exactly lightweight at ~ 25 pounds, that's because it is well-built and with extra features like the swing-out little table with drink holder. I bought this for what is probably a "non-standard" use: looking at the stars and moon with binoculars - so that I could look as high as 'straight-up' - in comfort. It's ideal for this purpose, as well as for more general use. Excellent product and highly recommendedTip: I found the PERFECT case for this here on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Sierra-Comfort-SC-515-Carry-Black/dp/B09RLDJQV4/ref=sr_1_14?crid=2EJ1F1EBNGP1T&keywords=Sierra+Comfort+SC-515+Carry+Bag&qid=1679152186&sprefix=sierra+comfort+sc-515+carry+bag%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-14 - the Sierra SC-515 Carry Bag, in Black. It absolutely fits like a glove: no wasted / extra space, nice and snug so the folded chair does not move around when zipped inside; highly recommended.

I looked long and hard for a higher quality zero-gravity recliner and ultimately landed on Portal's oversized, non-mesh, padded version (as I believe the 600D "ballistic" material will endure outdoor exposures better).All that compulsiveness really paid off as I am in no way disappointed with this purchase.I am ecstatic at the comfort quality, the ease of operation, the weight (which is not too heavy for me to carry, but as I also live where it gets quite seasonally breezy so it seems like it isn't nearly as prone to wind-walking across my deck as other chairs have). The adjustable pillow works quite well, as do the locking mechanisms. I find it easy to open, easy to close back up and the reclining motion is "like butta".Happy to say I am most satisfied with this Portal zero-gravity recliner. Because I'm also interested in seeing this chair last as long as possible, I also chose to purchase a 400D slip over cover, installed when the chair is completely folded back together and that attaches at the bottom with clips.From my POV, all that research I put in (including the many positive ratings and very few negative I combed through ) . . . did indeed pay off.The price was slightly higher than many others I looked at, but as I learned a long time ago . . . where my comfort is concerned, it ain't worth the compromise. I would definitely purchase another one of these chairs.

I was worried about reviews that said “it was a beast to port around”. Since I am planning on using this camping most of the time portability is important. I’m 5’10” female with reasonable strength. This chair is not difficult to fold, carry, or move. I brought it on a weekend camping trip and regularly relocated it from campsite to lakeside daily without issue.It is THE most comfortable chair EVER. It even got the hubbie’s seal of approval for cost/quality and that doesn’t come easily as he holds that bar pretty high. It’s a big chair designed to accommodate big people. It’s sturdy and well put together. The moving lumbar pillow is perfect. Use it for lumbar support when sitting upright and as a pillow when reclining. The little table that folds away is perfect for my 30 ounce yeti tumbler with handle, my phone, and my tablet. The table doesn’t appear to be made of wood but rather some sort of metal/plastic material and I don’t foresee it warping due to moisture as some reviewers mentioned. The locking mechanism works well. It’s the only part of the chair that worries me though. If a stronger person forgets the locks are engaged and try to force the chair to move it seems like the locks could break. I don’t know this for a fact though..I just make sure to be aware if the locks are engaged when using the chair and advise anyone who is using it to do the same.The chair has a warning on the label that because the arms are made of wood it shouldn’t be left in the elements all the time. Not a big deal to me as I always put my portable chairs in storage when not in use (so they keep in good condition longer). Overall this is a great chair at a reasonable price and I’m planning on buying another so the Hubbie stops stealing mine.
