Where the legs or uprights touch the ground-do they tend to sink into the ground? Do they need support or pad to keep from sinking into the ground?

They do tend to sink slightly depending on how hard packed your ground is. We packed our sand quite firm and did not use any extra materials. Some of the youtube videos do show wood pieces or cement blocks, but we did not use anything and had no problem.

Not really. The ground here in New Orleans is soft, wet and sandy and that didn't happen to us. No support is necessary.

The included molded support feet were sufficient enough to keep the poles from sinking into the ground.

If the ground is very solid its OK . water always spills out and they will sink if it's not a solid base. . to make sure there OK I would put padio blocks under each. Make sure u just don't place them down on the surface. Make them level with the ground!!!!!

The three little stick-like tripod legs would probably sink in the sand. They have a small oval plastic base that helps to stabilize the seat on soil or uneven rock, but I don't think they are ideal for sand.

it has spikes on the bottom that push into the ground so they would be in the way

Sams does have the legs. They are inside the basket under the bottom insert.

The legs have a hard plastic end. They seem smooth but to be doubly sure to protect the floor, you might want to use felt on the bottom of the leg.

they have a rubber pad on the bottom. you could also add a felt pad to be safe.

As already mentioned there are brackets that hold the legs in an upright position. I would add that when the footrest is turned upside down the brackets tend to disengage and make it very easy for the legs to fold flat for storage or transportation.

I can't say for sure about "footers", as it does have somewhat of an edge on each foot so that it won't sink right in. Our soil here is like a rock, so nothing was needed here, except for big nails to put through the holes on the feet to keep it from blowing around in our big winds.

No, the cushion holds its shape and does not "sink." My husband sits on it most of the day and it does fine.

They definitely sink to the bottom. Have been using mine now for months - really saves my Granite Sink from scratching and chipping.

Well you have to keep your feet up off the floor. I sometime use a tube or water bar bells to keep me up. They are great. Just used mine again this morning. Hope this helps.

It would need to be pushed into the ground, or somehow weighted down, to keep it standing upright. Mine has been fine by simply pushing it into the dirt.

You need something floating above the water. A dock, a boat... etc. If you sink with it you have to swim with it back to something that floats on its own.

I am not sure about them floating upright. Based on other comments, if you need them all to float up right I would probably not buy them. My kids love to play with them in water and everywhere! We never really noticed how they floated.

No. They land softly, but are extremely hard-wearing. Highly recommended. Slippery on highly polished surfaces.Paul Smith. Aust.

The bottom is flat, so they will not roll on a calm day. If it were VERY windy, they would, since they are not very heavy. You could use a fine mesh net to cover it and tie it down.
