I was looking for a wider lounge than many that are on the market. This is about 26.8 inches wide from frame to frame, but the actual seat is narrower. They fold up easily and I love that there is a handle strap to lift it out of my deck box and a shoulder strap to carry it from car to beach (or wherever). There is also a clip that helps keep it folded tight, so it won't fall open while carrying it. The material quality is also very good and there is a little padding plus the give of the material means they're not hard/uncomfortable to sit on. I don't let them sit in the rain, but I believe they would dry quickly. (I also purchase separate pads just to help with my back.) My only complaint is that the middle brace is a bit wobbly and does not really lock into place like the two end ones. Also, being tall people, they are a little lower to the ground than I would like, but for a foldable, transportable, lounger they are really very good!
