In my dreamiest summer fantasies, I am relaxing in a porch swing, enjoying a cool beverage and feeling the warm breeze cross my face. Yet, in my waking life, I have no porch. You can imagine my excitement, then, when our team spotted this standing “hammock chair” that can be used both inside and outdoors. It’s all the good parts of a porch swing or a hammock, without needing a porch or two desirably placed trees and today, it’s under $90 — a super steal of a deal given that these usually go for $200 or more at different retailers.
This whimsical seat comes in a selection of colors, which are currently all offering different deals. You’ll get the most savings when you hit the 15% off coupon on the blue and white with pink. Some colors are offering 10% off deals and others have a Prime member-only price. Reviewers say it’s their “new favorite chill spot” — even comfortable enough to take a nap in — and makes for a great reading nook or “unwind spot” wherever you put it.
“This chair is perfect, as I don’t have anyplace to hang a chair or swing…” one review said. “Now when I say I’m ‘hanging out in my garden’ it’s really true!!”
Made from heavy-duty natural long-staple cotton that can hold up to 350 pounds, reviewers say it’s a lightweight piece that’s surprisingly durable. It measures about 5.25 feet tall, 4.33 feet wide at the widest part and 2.7 feet at the base.
“I am 267 lb and I feel completely safe in it,” one reviewer wrote, saying they even had their 30-pound niece in the chair with them. “I even swung it back, forward, and side to side. Never having the feeling that I was going to fall.”
The “U” shaped stand makes it an open and airy seat that won’t visually dominate your space, while still giving you a solid square bottom for ensured balance. The frame is powder-coated to prevent rust (though some reviewers suggest bringing it in when it’s raining, as the base can collect water.) The seat itself has all sorts of goodies, like a pillow, little pocket and boho-inspired tassels.
Reviewers mention how easy it is to put together, with many saying they assemble (and disassemble) it by themselves. “Light enough for me to drag around the room easily,” one wrote.
If you’re looking to swing in peace this summer but don’t want to drop a ton of dough, snag this relaxing chair while it’s on sale.
Still debating? Maybe these 5-star reviews of the hammock chair will swing you in the right direction.
“I added it to my balcony as a reading nook sorta thing. And it delivered big time. It’s comfortable, comes with a back cushion. You can lounge or sit and have a fun time. The build was pretty easy, and it’s sturdy. A recommended buy” — Subho Bose
“I was able to put it together by myself in about an hour and a half. (Female, not skilled in assembly, had to undo and fix a few minor errors). Make sure you put the flat head against the plastic surface of cross bars and screw the nuts onto the metal side. Included directions were pretty useless but enough to get the general idea. Keep the tools handy for tightening the frame when you fist build it. The frame has some wiggle to it but has so far proved sturdy. Light enough for me to drag around the room easily. The actual hammock chair is Incredibly Comfortable. It’s roomy enough for me (5 foot tall) to comfortably curl up for a nap. My new favorite chill spot.” — Auntie May
“I love this thing. It was easy to assemble and disassemble when moving, it’s lightweight but sturdy (withstood hurricane winds) and it’s such a nice little place to read a book on my patio! I know it’s not meant for outdoor use, but mine has been fine other than collecting a bit of rain water in the bottom.” — Shay
“My favorite swing. Used this all summer and kept having to steal it back from my nieces and nephews because they loved it too.” — Beth
“This chair was literally put together in 10 minutes by myself, so super easy assembly! And the comfort is TOP TIER! I could sit in this chair all day with a book and be ridiculously comfortable. Will be buying more to place around our fire pit for our colder nights.” — Lisa
