thanks for the tip on the non-lounger seat. Will check it out.
It's the low end Lanai ES version. Price = $4,500
I am also now looking at the Aquaterra™ Spas Toscano 17-jet, 3-person Spa at Costco online for $3,000. Looks like it is built by Watkins who build Hot Springs and others. Do you know if that is a big box brand just for Costco? Can't find it elsewhere.
