I agree with you, but it's my wife who loves the lounger. I'll use it now and again, but she's 5'2" and doesn't float up and out, at least not in the Sundance Certa. Others we tested she did and she hated it. For those looking for a lounger smaller footprint spa, I suggest the Certa or Artesian Nevis. Both nice and under $8k out the door. Cheaper if you negotiate.
