Editorial Review:
This handsome, well-made chaise is tailor-made for soaking up the sun or relaxing by the pool. A unique tray table extends to hold drinks, magazines, and other lounging essentials, then slides back underneath for storage. The back adjusts to five positions--from fully-upright to completely-reclined. Matching cushions can also be purchased to add even more comfort.
The bench’s slotted surface allows rain to flow through, rather than collect and damage the wood. The piece is made from kapur wood, a high-density Southeast Asian hardwood with excellent weather-resistant properties. Light enough to move easily around deck or lawn, kapur requires no finishing and is exceptionally-sturdy--with enough oil to repel the ravages of rain, sun, and dew. Rust-resistant hardware and mortise and tenon construction also add to the piece’s strength and durability.
Before shipment, your new furniture received a generous application of teak oil. Teak oil provides protection from the ultraviolet sunrays. Left untreated, Kapur will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. If you prefer to prevent this weathering process, you may apply additional coats of teak oil. The frequency of necessary teak oil applications will depend on the intensity of the sun in your environment, but typically, one or two coats per year is sufficient. Teak oil can usually be found at a marine dealer, hardware store, or internet dealer. If you allow your furniture to weather, you may later decide that you would want to restore it to its original condition. This is possible by using teak cleaner products, also available at most marine dealers and internet dealers. After following the instructions for cleaning, you will want to apply a coat of teak oil to prevent the weathering process.
The lounge’s preassembled components fit together easily with the help of an included allen wrench. This item measures 74 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 12-1/2 inches tall. --Mary Park
Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: nice but would have been better off with a double. Comment: I think I would have rather purchased a double lounger to give me more room and allow my wife to lay on it with me. Also it could be a little longer since I am 6' 1" and my feet hang off the end. I don't know how long the higher priced ones are.It is very nice for the money compared to everything else out there. The quality is comparable to all the others I have looked at. Customer Rating: Summary: very good for the price Comment: exactly as advertised, a decent chair with a clever table that slides away inside it. For the low price, it's just fine and (at least for now) it looks like it cost more. How sturdy is it? Sturdy enough... I definitely wouldn't jump up and down on it, but it's solid enough to hold me (a normal sized male) without any problems. Others have sat on them too, no problems. I bought two and I'm happy with them. Customer Rating: Summary: is this wood from a sustainable source? Comment: I wish Amazon provided more information (preferably from a third party source) about the wood used in this product. I do not wish to contribute to deforestation of a tropical rainforest. Customer Rating: Summary: great value lounge Comment: This is a very economical product. The lounge is on the smallish side, but is well made and is easy to assemble. I wish we had purchased these lounges years ago.
Waiting until we could affort top of the line Teak patio furniture was a mistake. This is a great product. Customer Rating: Summary: I love them Comment: I think the two chaise lounges I purchased are great! They are well built and easy to put together. I'm not concerned about any possible "bleeding" of the stain, which I have never seen on any product from Strathwood (and I have purchased four other products from them). Every year I apply new oil to the other Strathwood products, and I expect to do the same with the chaises-that is what is required with real wood if you want to have the brown look.
