Yontree Hanging Chaise Sun Lounger Chair Air Porch Hammock Swing Chair Stand 265LBS Capacity Beige

I had read reviews on similar helicopter style lounge chairs and saw that some people complained about rusting after a while. I bought 2 cans of clear sealant and sprayed all the metal pipes not only outside but inside the openings as much as I could. That was an extra 7 dollars. I used the boxes it came in to set the parts on while I painted one side, let them dry, and then painted the other side. I let it dry one day. Even with the clear coat applied these went together fairly easily. The instructions were picture based and they weren't very good pictures so I ended up putting the 3 chair end pieces on the wrong way at first. Those particular parts had snap in fittings so it wasn't that bad to turn the pipe over so it went slightly down rather than up like a banana. The picture shows it level but I didn't find a way to assemble it where the chair was level like the picture shows but no big deal. It ends up with a slight downward bend where your legs go, pretty much like any chaise lounge chair. I had just gotten back from the state fair where they had the 2 thousand dollar double chaise lounge chairs but I didn't want to spend that much. Although, after sitting in them, I see where 2000 dollars worth of quality would be worth it, if I had that to spend. I found these for 140 dollars each with free delivery. These are not as high of quality obviously but for 140 bucks I'd say it was an excellent deal. I didn't have anything that didn't fit. It had the right number of nuts and bolts and there were relatively few bolts to have to work with. They gave you two cheap metal wrenches that worked fine. I had to use a pair of vice grips to attach the o-bolt that the chair hangs from just to make sure it was really tight. You could use any crescent wrench or standard wrench as well. Weaving the rope for the seat around the pipe took the longest. The picture isn't good enough for you to tell how much slack to leave when weaving it. I gave it about an inch slack at first but ended up having to re-adjust the rope back to allow for a slight bit more. They don't say what type of knot to use at the start and end of the rope and you can't see it in the picture so I just used a regular square knot. It took me less than two hours to assemble it after the clear coat was dry. You will need to use some rope or something to tie the chair to a post or tree to keep it from swinging in the wind when your not there and banging around since it's just hung by one chain link that can freely rotate. It's clearly mass produced with cost in mind but the poles seem to be fairly thick steel that I think will last many years if you use clear spray paint first. The chair padding is a little thin and it looks like it is on the economical side of manufacturing but it sits on a black woven mesh that the rope laces to the bars so its comfortable. The padding just ties to the poles at eight places. You may want to bring it in from bad weather or it can take a long time to dry out and the pad is not highly durable camping quality. I'd also recommend bringing in the sun shade as it's thin and only attached by 4 plastic hooks. The rest of the chair is thick steel and rope. The two arm rests are just metal poles with a form fitting foam pad that slides over them. I removed the foam before clear coating them. I found if they are distracting to you, just unbolt the two bolts and take them off. I'd recommend putting the bolts back in the holes to keep water from getting in. I was expecting a lot of issues with fit and manufacturing flaws but other than the fuzzy pictures on the instructions it exceeded my expectations for what 140 dollars gets you. Overall, I found it to be worth the price. It's relaxing and comfortable.
