I wasn't surprised to learn that my Chaise Lounge chairs were back ordered. At this price and no charge for shipping, I imagined the whole country waiting for theirs! It was easy as pie to track the shipping status so I knew when to expect them.
There aren't many times I've assembled anything but I found this easy as well. I'm pleased with the quality of the wood used. All the bolts and washers and so on were present.
It is light enough to move from the shade of a tree to the sun on the deck. The back support is a tad short even at five foot four. It did not stop me from having a well deserved nap. The dog is lovin' it as well but he thinks it's a sofa and we need to cuddle...it's too hot!
Looks great, feels solid, totaly functional slide out table for a number of items. You'll like it!A five star rating if it came put together.
Rating:  - Wow! A place to put your coffee
Even without the pull out tray this would be a great lounge chair. I bought two and the wood is of good quality -- no severe rough spots or splinters. The corners are champhered (sp) so there are no sharp edges. The ends of post and rails are sanded round. The hardware is either brass or galvanized. The staples used look to be stainless steel. There are very few staples -- a construction shortcut some furniture manufacturers use. The slats are countersunk into the rails. They will not come out. The wood is thick and sturdy: legs, back, slats and rails. The finish was a oil base stain. The manufacturer put a card in the package with the brand so I could buy more to keep the cedar looking top notch! I liked the look so much I am going to wash the deck and stain it too. All the screws were there. All the pieces fit together. I for once did not need to go to the hardware store to complete assembly. I assembled each chaise in about an hour with a Phillips head and slot screwdriver, a Crescent wrench and a hammer. I am a lightweight when it comes to hand tools, so I did get out the drill and pre-bore 4 screw holes. And they recieve the 100% comfy rating from the cat Checkers. She was making herself at home before I could even get the first one put together. (And as been out there every day since!) It gets the same rating from me too! The foot of the bench and the back are slightly curved -- which makes it very comfortable for naps in the sun... Best of all, there's a place to put my coffee!
Rating: - It's not TEAK, but for the price...
You can't go wrong buying this Chaise Lounge. As noted by others, it does need a little sanding here and there. Another minor nit is the 'back' needs to be a few inches taller, or I need to be a few inches shorter. It's not quite tall enough to support my head while sitting upright. If not for that I'd probably give it a 5 star rating. Actual assembly time was about 1/2 hour, not including sanding and applying a finish. I finished mine with Sikkens synthetic marine varnish as I plan on leaving the chair outside year round and it's the only product I've found thus far that holds up for a few years before it needs to be recoated. It also gives the chair the look of teak without the $$$. Due to the salt air near me I also spent $(...) in stainless steel hardware to upgrade the hardware that comes with the chair. The REAL story here is Amazon.com. One of the chairs arrived damaged. I emailed Amazon and they immediately shipped out a replacement. Service as it should be. They deserve 5 STARS for that.
