Would my retired parents be able to enjoy this chair or is it difficult to get out of afterwards?

I am in my late 60s and have had no problems navigating this hammock. I think that because it is anchored on four corners to the frame, unlike traditional hammocks that rotate at two center points, it is pretty comfortable and stable.

This is not a chair, it's a hammock, and not a good one at that. Try Strathwood's zero gravity chairs. Or somebody else's.

It is very stable my 4 and my 7 year old are able to use it with ease. It doesnt dump you out like a typical hammock and you can use it anywhere. That was the big seller for me. I like to go camping and I dont have a lot of tree that I could try up to around my house so the fact it comes with a stand is a plus. It is a easy setup and take down. It does weight about 15-20lbs so if weight is an issue you might want to reconsider. It is only for 1 person and can hold up to a 250-300lb person check specs. to be for sure.

None. We also got it up a tough staircase. It's not an extremely wide chair, you should be ok

I have only had mine for a short time and it's not too warm yet in Michigan, so haven't used it much. So far I'd say it is not easy to open. I think it would be a problem for an elderly person. It is fairly comfortable, but you really have to push to get it to recline. Maybe it will be better with use and some WD-40.

You have to be able to push back in the chair. It is a little stiff and may become easier after I've had it awhile.

I don't know. I think it was on the chair instructions but I threw it away. I would say any child over 35 pounds would be difficult to get in and out though.

I don't have the chair handy as it's at my grandmother's home. However, I'm pretty sure the legs are removable because I recall not being able to find them on occasion when picking her her up to take her out. We've had the chair for 5 years now, not using it on a daily basis, but it has seen a lot of use. It's held up very well. I highly recommend it and hope it fits your needs.p.s. It's not as wide or heavy as a standard wheelchair, so I think it will work for what you need. I'll reiterate again that I've been really happy with it.

The chair is very comfortable once you get in. You are almost laying down, and it feels almost as hummock. I am not sure what specific characteristics you mean by "comfortable for reading", but rocking does not feel exactly the same as any rocker, because you are not sitting up. It is not suitable for someone with movement limitations: my 88 years old father, who is slightly overweight, had trouble getting out of the chair. Other than that, I still love the chair enough to bring it inside in winter to use it for relaxation practices.

This would not be a good chair for him then. It's a little hard to get out of.

They are lower to the ground. Probably would be difficult to get out of if you are older.

It IS awkward to get in and out of the chair, but very comfortable after you are in it. I found the best way to sit down is to put a foot on either side and then sit backwards; when getting out, get both feet planted on either side and then raise up. Not bad once you get the hang of it.

Not hard at all. For an elderly person, maybe a little difficult, but otherwise fine. Love these chairs.

Depending on ones physical mobility this is a great ride for a senior. I have only had sessions of one hour or less but the seat is supportive and comfortable. I have not adjusted the seat in months.

Yes, it's fine, I have had mine several years. I use it in my kitchen instead of a kitchen stool. The only thing to watch out for is to make sure the back is up against something (a wall or a counter or something) when sitting down or getting up- or your can easily fall off of this chair when either bending down or getting up or down. I would not recommend it for an elderly person for this reason. However, for middle aged or younger it is a great chair. Just hold on to the back of it when getting up and down.

The chair was a gift for my dad. I do know that it came fully assembled. I do not know if the cushions can be removed. I have personally sat in the chair and found it to be quite comfortable. My dad is close to 300lbs and has found the chair to be comfortable and easy on his back, legs, etc as he sits and gets up.

Seat is relatively high. We did not experience any difficulty getting in or out of chairs.

It depends on the person's condition. This chair is perfect for people who can't get/get out into/from the bathtub or stand under shower for some time. The chair gives them independence. If health situation is worse then I would say 'yes'
