content: I wouldn't buy another one. It is comfortable enough (with a cushion), but it REALLY needs another position or two for the back rest. There is no position just above the horizontal, so I usually need to use a pillow for sunbathing or dozing. Another position between upright and midway would also be nice. I had no problems with assembly. But as other reviewers have pointed out, cedar is a very soft wood. I haven't had any problem with the slats, but the good looking legs could hardly be designed worse for a wood that splits so easily. There probably is a luck element with getting the right piece of wood. But I have had to glue the back legs back together at least three times in pretty normal usage. (Okay, one time while watering I tripped and fell backwards onto the lounge. But that shouldn't merit two legs breaking.) I ended up drilling across the splits and inserting large screws along with gluing. So far, so good.
