anyone that has one of these recliners what is your opinion on it?  

Im short 5'2" and read that a shorter person may have a hard time using the bar to have it recline.   Plus how do they hold up and what's the comfort level.  😺

Honestly, for me they were a complete waste of money.

Bought two, and then got two more.

I threw two of them away and kept two for my son and his camping trips - to them, a chair is a chair and was already paid for. 

The metal grommets kept loosening and exposing raw edges of the fabric causing fraying. The fabric actually got runs in it like hose do.

Never again, for me anyhow. Much better options available out there that will actually hold up to the outdoors and wear and tear much better.

Strictly my opinion and my experience with them.

Never tried one - never bought one but met a lady in drug store who was looking for the regular lounge - that unfolds for the beach.  She said you can't lay on your stomach on the Bliss recliner.  I hadn't thought about that ...........

@Kitty Galore save your money.  I purchased the double seat recliner when it was offered on QVC several years ago.  I am tall and so is DH.  We hated it from the beginning.  Unless you are reclining, it is uncomfortable.  If you just try to sit in it, there if absolutely no support at all.  This is also something you can't leave out in the rain.  Water gets inside the metal bars or tubing and brown, rusty water will run out and stain your concrete or decking.  I usually get it out every spring but this year hubby said toss it.  So I did.

I have two, purchased last year. Love them. Anyone else using the chair loves them too! I tend to dose off when I lean back; it is that comfortable for me. Got the little matching table and am glad I did. Another great buy on QVC for me.

I first bought this type of chair, zero gravity, when they were made by LaFuma and imported from France.  I've always thought they were the ultimate in comfort.  I just wish they'd make one suitable for interior use.  I eventually wore out the original but replaced the elastic lacing several times.

I see no reason why a short person couldn't use this type of chair.  I'm  5'4" with short legs and never had a problem.  I also have bad arthritis in knees and can easily sit or rise.  You recline by shifting your weight backward, not by using legs.

This type of chair is available at various price points, many less than the Bliss brand at b&m stores, even Walmart.  My chairs have always been kept on a covered patio; I wouldn't leave them exposed to inclement weather.  I cover mine in the winter so they're not exposed to blowing snow.  With reasonable care, they should last for years.

I love them! Ours are 3 &4 years old ans still look llike new. I'm 5'5" and my husbandf is 6'. They fit us both just fine. I also purchased the rocker style. The chair is very comfy. The seat does not sag and your back feels great in these chairs. It is very easy to get and out of the chair and it remains stable.

Do you mean the Bliss zero gravity reclining chair?  If so, buy a different brand.  Paid $70 for the Bliss from Q  in spring 2018 when it was TSV.  Began falling apart almost immediately.  The pattern part of chair attracts mildew like a magnet, rain gets inside the metal frame and pours out as rusty water that stains clothing and patio, but the worst thing is that all the bungee cords around the seat area began to fray and fall apart right away.  This is my husband's chair.  Not comfortable for me at 5'2".  Now that it's in its second summer season just a matter of time till hubby sits down and falls right through seat to concrete patio.  He says wait till that happens then trash it and buy a quality chaise lounge.  This Bliss chair might work if you seldom sit in it and you live in Minnesota, but chair cannot stand up to the sun and dampness down here in the South.  One of the very few purchases made from Q in last 30 years that I've been completely dissatisfied with.

@CJC.  The Bliss chairs aren't really made to be kept outside.  The intense summer sun rots the plastic webbing and the rain does a number on the metal.  See my post above.  I keep mine on a covered patio and they last for years.
