Great outdoor lounge chair

This is a sturdy and well made chair. It is not the most comfortable to sit in for long periods unless you have a cushion (as are most poly wood chairs). I am just using a pillow for my back currently, but will eventually find a full length cushion for summer! It was kind of a hassle to put together, but doable.

Quality lounge chair!

This chair is beautiful. My husband assembled it in less than ten minutes. It is a heavy high quality polywood material and looks terrific! I can’t wait to lounge in it this summer by the pool. I plan to find a cushion to fit and will probably purchase other matching pieces.

Great quality!

These were the same if not better qualify than polywood items bought in a speciality outdoor store, were much less expensive and marched those items perfectly!

This is a nice chaise. You’ll want one, or two.

The chair arrived in good packaging. However, some parts of the chair, like little edges and such, were slightly damaged due to bumping against one another in the box during shipping. We had to pick or cut off the little loose pieces of plastic. The illustrated instructions were not very clear and did not seem to allow for proper construction. The parts were not numbered or lettered, nor were they in the instructions. (Except the screws) My husband and I figured it out though with guidance from the illustrations. The chair is good quality; solid & sturdy material. It sits heavy on the ground so it doesn’t seem that wind could pick it up & that it could last for a long while. Even without a cushion, it is comfortable. I am writing this review while sitting on the chair on my back porch. I am 5’6” and I fit on it comfortably. My husband is 6’1” and he also fits on it comfortably. We like the fact that it has four reclining options. From nearly laid all the way back for getting sun to being nearly upright for yard watching or reading.

Hi Nicole,<br />Thank you so much for your detailed review — we&#39;re glad to hear that you and your husband are enjoying the chair and finding it both comfortable and sturdy! We truly appreciate your kind words about its design and durability.<br /><br />We’re very sorry to hear about the small plastic burrs you encountered during assembly. This is a normal byproduct of the manufacturing process, and while we do our best to minimize it, it can occasionally occur. The good news is that these bits can usually be removed easily with the dull edge of a butter knife or a similar tool. Still, we understand it can be an unexpected step, and we appreciate your patience.<br /><br />We also appreciate your feedback on the instructions — it’s helpful insight as we continue working to make our assembly process as smooth as possible.<br /><br />Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope the chair brings you many relaxing moments on your back porch!<br />Thanks,<br />Lana

Built to last

The quality of this polywood chaise is really good. I’ve had an Amish made swing (polywood material) for 12+ years. Its sat outside year round and looks like the day I bought it. This chair seems to be just as good if not better. The material is actually thicker. It seems like it will last through anything. Color is a nice warm grey. It’s comfortable, although I wish it had a curve in the back for low back support like my swing does. I plan to add an outdoor pillow for that.

Slight issues but overall sturdy

Its a sturdy lounge chair. The color is a darker grey than the image. The only issue we encountered was with building it. Step 3, the holes in the chair were too small for the screws provided. We had to take a drill bit to enlarge them slightly to fit the screw. There is a small divit in the top of the chair too. Both seem to be manufacturing issues.

Heavy duty

These are very well made & sturdy. Have to put together. Instructions are just pictures. Would prefer something a little more detailed. The tools that come with it will take you a while to put together. We finally got out a cordless drill & Allen bit to put them together. I’d recommend installing the cross pieces at the same time as the front & back legs, otherwise, you’ll be loosening the legs up to get them in. I would also suggest making starter threads with the front leg screws before installing the legs, since they are more like bolts & difficult to get started There was a little corner broken off the seat section, but not noticeable once put together. I would suggest Polywood add a little more padding to the shipping box, otherwise, everything is just rattling around loose & could be damaged with some aggressive shippers. I ordered the sand color; thought it would be more beige, but it is more on the grey side. Pleased overall.
