MACRAME HANGING CHAIR- SWINGING IN STYLE
Here are a few of the key features you have to look forward to should you decide to get this macrame swing chair:
- It is hung from 100% cotton ropes that are strong and durable.
- The sides and backrest feature beautifully hand-woven cotton patterns with tassels.
- It has a strong and weather-resistant stainless steel frame.
- The seat portion is made from 5/8 inch plywood.
- It has a one person sitting capacity.
- It can hold up to 265 pounds of weight.
COMFORT FEATURES
In addition to aesthetics and stability, this macrame swing is designed for comfort. Here is how 3 key features contribute to this.
- Woven backrest and sides
This ensures that you are adequately supported without necessarily being restricted. The fabric curves with your body providing maximum comfort whatever position you decide to take. This design also makes the swing properly aerated which comes in particularly handy with outdoor setups.
- Padded seat cushion
This is placed over the plywood seat base. The cushion ensures that you can sit on the swing chair for as long as you want without going numb.
- Spacious seating space
Despite being designed for one person, the seat is very spacious. It measures 24 inches by 16 inches by 15 inches. This is important as it ensures that you have plenty of wiggle room while on the seat.
PROS AND CONS
Pros
- It has great aesthetic appeal
This is as a result of a combination of features, including the woven cotton, the tassels, and the wooden components. The cushions come in different colors and also contribute significantly to the physical appeal. This makes it the perfect addition to any space with the subtle aesthetics blending in perfectly with most décor themes.
- It is strong and durable
The woven cotton ropes are robust and sturdy. The wooden beam near the hook also contributes to this, ensuring that the swing is adequately supported and that it maintains its structure even when bearing weight. The materials used also ensure durability, which means that you get to enjoy your swing for a very long time.
- It is easy to set up
The swinging chair features a stainless steel hook used to hang it. In this case, the setup process will only require that you find the right support structure to hook the swing to. No frames to put together. No screws and bolts to figure out. It doesn’t get easier than that.
Cons
- It can only seat one person
It, without a doubt, has some pretty amazing features. Unfortunately, only one person can enjoy them at a time. This means you will have to figure out a sort of schedule in your home on how to fairly share time on this little slice of paradise.
- It is difficult to clean
This is because the woven fabric is fixed and cannot be removed for washing. As a result, you have to be creative when trying to figure out how to get the swing clean. You could also opt for covers that hide the aesthetic masterpiece but ensure that it is protected from potential stains.
WHO WE ARE– A FEW WORDS FROM DESIGNER
