DOUBLE SIZED WICKER SWING – WORTH IT OR NOT?
We will start things off with a brief overview of the basic features and specifications. These include:
- The swing comfortably seats two people.
- A maximum weight capacity of 528 pounds.
- Strong and stable bronze steel frame.
- It has a 2 stand design for better weight distribution.
- The cushion covers can be removed and washed.
- The cushions are tufted for added aesthetic appeal.
- Handwoven wicker design.
- Comes with a 12-month warranty.
In addition to these basic features and specifications, the seat is designed to offer maximum comfort to the user. Below are 2 key features that facilitate this.
Seat dimensions and design
The seat on this swing features a flat bottom. This is generally considered more comfortable and more stable. However, it might be a slight con if you prefer the curved base design. Its dimensions also facilitate comfort standing at 58.27 inches wide by 48.81 inches tall by 27.5 inches deep. This allows you to sit, lean back or even lie across the swing. It is a great design that compensates for the seat’s lack of a foothold.

Foam stuffed cushions
The seats are lined with foam stuffed cushions that are covered with soft cushion covers. The cushions span the entire base of the seat, part of the back and part of the sides of the swing nook. This allows you as the user to relax taking pretty much any angle or position without having to worry about running out of the comfortable cushion. They are also very generously stuffed which significantly improves the comfort levels.
Here you can find the customized patio loveseat cover, which is the best protector for your Island Gale Luxury 2-Person Swing Chair.
PROS
- It has a 2 stand design: In contrast to others extra large swing chairs, this one has integrated 2 C-stands on a one base, which is excellent for better weight distribution
- It is easy to assemble: According to the manufacturers, it should only take you 3 minutes to get the swing set up and ready for action. The frame design is responsible for this convenience as all you have to do is to hang the swing wicker onto the frame.
- It has aesthetic appeal: This is mainly because of the woven wicker design. It gives it a simple yet classy look.
- All parts are weather resistant: The frames are powdered for rust resistance which allows easy outdoor use. The woven wicker, on the other hand, features weather resistant polyethylene fibers which protect it from everything including rain and UV.
- It is easy to maintain: The cushions covers can be removed and washed easily. As for the rest of the swing, a simple wipe and dusting on occasional is all you need to keep it looking good.
- Designed for two people: There is enough place to prop your self up long ways and have plenty of room for both legs.
CONS
- It does not offer foot support: This makes it uncomfortable to sit with your feet hanging off the swing especially if you are not tall enough to touch the floor while seated. But you can put your legs up in the chair
- The base of the frame occupies a lot of space: At 47.24 inches by 47.24 inches by 12.99 inches, the frame is pretty average in size. However, the base is significantly larger than what you get with other models of a similar design.
