Tommy Bahama 5-Position Beach Chair,

I think this is a great beech chair with great features, BUT:As I imagine many buyers would, I took it out of the box, opened it out, sat down, enjoyed the comfort, then tried to adjust the position and almost lost a finger against an unreasonably sharp edge. Turns out it can be dangerous to put your fingers in a certain position when adjusting the seat back, and the manufacturer knows this! That's why, as I later discovered, they place the following all caps warning in the instructions: DO NOT PUT FINGERS UNDERNEATH ARMS. But who would read the instructions before first sitting down? It's a beach chair, after all! We adults have openened many before and don't imagine we need instructions except for special features. I suggest the manufacturer remedy the problem or at the very attach a prominent tag warning to one of the chair arms. Despite this issue, I was so enamored with the chair I planned to keep it, and so we took it to the beach to try. While there, when my wife tried to stand up from the chair after having been sitting in an upright position, the chairback suddenly and forcefully dropped backwards into a full 180 degree recline, with my wife on it. One of the wooden arms of the chair split, releasing the pin that connected it to the rest of the chair. That was truly dangerous. My wife is not petite, but at less than 150 lbs she's a far cry from the chair's stated weight limit of 250 lbs. In fairness, I think this may have been at least a little my wife's "fault." I'm guessing that in an effort to stand she first pulled herself forward using the chair arms, thus releasing the position lock. But still. Nothing like that has ever happened to us with a conventional aluminum beach recliner. And surely the chair should not have broken. Needless to say i'll be returning it.
