First off this is pretty dang comfy and relaxing. My wife loves it, it was a birthday present.
Second, I got the mesh weave instead of the full fabric because frankly it was the cheapest one in the list and I'm squeezing pennies. (If you're going this route, check all the options before checking out as the prices apparently change.)
You won't have this problem if you keep it indoors, but the problem with the mesh weave is that it's thin elastic. After living in Texas and Florida for years I've seen how this kind of elastic essentially dry rots in the sun over a few seasons; if you're in a harsh sunlit environment, that elastic is going to crack, break, and you'll end up falling right through unless you stay on top of covering it every day with the included cover.
The second problem with the mesh is that there's really no comfortable way to rest your head unless you lean it on one of the poles, but to say that's comfortable would likely be accurate only for shorter people (under 5ft). Try resting your head on the mesh and it just let's your head pass right through... We added a couple throw pillows to alleviate this problem, but sometimes it takes a while to find that just right comfy way to lounge.
The last mesh issue, as you move around and try to get comfortable, you can push the base pillow through the mesh too. This is more of an annoyance than anything, but still worth noting.
One last thing to note, this is a fairly big chair once it's assembled. If you're going to lounge out on it, you are going to want your head by the side of the support bar so it steers you away from it instead of into it. For us, this way it blocks part of the sightline into the kitchen. Not a big deal, but not something I had thought about.
Overall it's a really nice chair. I'm just listing things I wish I knew before I got the mesh weave one.
Comfy, but don't get the elastic mesh weave.
