I got it and can't see a way to lounge w/o the net - like the man in the picture is doing - for daytime sitting around socializing. Any wisdom?

we scrunched the hammok behind our knees, i really think the picture is a little bit of b.s. / help for photo op. can be done, but very hard and needs lots of skill and practice :)

The man in the picture is laying on top of the mosquito net by not using the bottom entry and instead mounting the hammock via the traditional side saddle approach. It appears to be working for him but your experience may vary.

The net is unzipped on the one side and he is laying on it it may not be as comfortable as it looks but the tension on your rope also makes a difference

When I install my Hennessy I usually just toss the netting over the ridge-line. That allows you to sit and relax free of the bug net.

Hi,Anyone should be able to use it, but personally, I've found it to be uncomfortable to use. It digs into my wrists and causes numbness in my hands. The bean bag lap design is the only comfortable part of this lapdesk. I think the lapdesk should come with a removable bean cushion for the hard frame, so the user's hands and wrists can rest more comfortably during use.I hope this helped.Lydia

Hi, this is my technique, it's awkward: Put the side tray down. Facing the chair, reach down and put your hands on either side of the seat and grasp the aluminum frame. (You are now holding the chair by seat of the chair) Now the action is this: you want to pull up on the side pieces of the chair seat, until your hands touch each other and the chair has folded together. The problem I find is getting the leverage to pull the seat sides upward. My solution is to push the sides of my arms against the chair arms as I'm pulling up on the seat. This is awkward and I look like some weird kind of stork-like bird, I'm sure, but it works for me. My brain can't think of another way to do it. I think I've tried the same move standing behind the chair, but the high back gets in my way. Good Luck! By the way, the colors fade horribly in strong sunlight (I live in the desert). And then the fabric deteriorates. I've been meaning to write Amazon about it. But everybody loves the chairs and finds them comfortable. Good Luck!

You don't - your sunglasses will suffice. I bought the product then tossed it. Save your money.

I tried this position, but it does not work for me. I rarely take off the keyboard and prefer to use the table almost as a netbook.

I never thought of that, and I don't know, but that would be great. The concept of this perch is awesome, it's just too "hot" not "cozy." Keep us posted?

I have not used the item in that setting yet. Give me any suggestions. Dan Ernst

Beats me. I used a smartphone. Ask the Withings guys. They have an online chat button.

I purchased a set of these lounge chairs for my daughter, so I needed to ask her. Here is her reply "Yes you can--not straight up and down, but you could read a book." Hope that helps.

Allison - you have to be a bit closer. Like while you're on your laptop, I use it when I'm checking my email and such. It's not big enough to use as you asked. You don't have to look at it, but need to be fairly close. I love mine! You should get one.

I have this item which I paid $70 for but could not use. It is very comfortable but not for a tall skinny guy. I will gladly see you this item for $50-used for 1/2 a block(essentially a trial to see if it was for me) If interested email me at DrCPsychman@aol.com and I'll ship it to you UPS.

Hi, I actually bought it for my friend and he had the same problem. He was quite happy with it. But i havent used it personally so i can't make a more specific comment.

I think you can use it as a daily prayer and meditating but not for lounging or writing. It is not ergonomically correct for the latter.

unfortunately you have to have it pretty close, it's such a small size that it really didn't do any good for me, even though I sat there with it for an extended period of time. And for it to be as close as it was, I had to close my eyes or wear sunglasses. So there were no benefits. Perhaps if it were the larger size, like 8x10 or 11x14, but this small size model didn't do the trick. IT's been packed away. Hope this helps

This is such a matter of individual choice -- one person's cozy is another person's cramped -- I suggest you mark out the listed dimensions on a piece of paper, and see how the Surface Pro and mouse fit in the configuration you want to use them (remember the top to bottom dimension loses usable space because of the slight cut in and the handle.) For me, it would be cramped.
