lawn chair webbing replacement

This summer we decided to replace our old PVC deck chairs in Maine, updating the style, getting rid of the ottomans (bulky extra pieces to lug or trip over) and to be rid forever of the sopping cushions vs. cushions in the livingroom debate on every rainy, dewey, or foggy day. Sound familiar? I was skeptical that a folding chair could be comfortable, but the Lafuma recliner claims to be ergonomically designed and looks similar to my husband's well-loved leather relax-the-back chair in our family room. I was also concerned that the mesh would be rough on the skin. I needn't have worried - the Lafuma recliners are perfect. I like the sleek, black profile and they fold for storage during the winter. They are light enough for me to carry yet are heavy enough to stay put on windy days and to stand up to a lot of use. The cushiony stretch mesh dries quickly, they are easy to sit on, even for our 90 year old mother, and, once you get the hang of the reclining action, they are...Read more

This chair is as comfortable as they say it is. Unfortunately it has quality issues that could be dangerous. After two months, the elastic cord that runs the perimeter of the frame and holds the webbing on broke. I tried stretching it a little and tying a knot which worked for about a week. The next time the cord broke the whole side of the chair collapsed injuring my back seriously enough to go to the emergency room. I am fairly large (195 lbs) but would not recommend this chair for anyone over 150 lbs. I called LaFuma and they don't handle thier warrenty claims. They told me to call someone else that I have not been able to get ahold of. I assume this will show up in Consumer Reports eventually as a potentially dangerous product.

The value of this chair depends on the climate where you live. It was given to me in LA as a gift, and was great there; however, when I moved to Tucson, AZ where it was exposed to the sun a great deal of the time, the fabric ended up rotting and a large person actually fell through it! It was only 2 yrs. old at that time.

I love the chair, it's perfect for camping or lounging in the backyard. I was disappointed when I found the exact same chair locally in a hardware store for $9.95 vs. the 21.00 at Amazon .

My OLD review: I had used a friend's hammock chair before buying my own, but his was made of very thin synthetic threads that catch quite easily on buttons, etc. Not so with the Charleston! The cotton rope that makes up the weave is very comfortable to sit in all on its own, or with the chair cushion that is provided, and, if it happens to catch on something, it's no big deal. All I have to monitor with the kids is how far they swing...

I love it, my wife loves it, my kids love it. Can't wait to take it camping this Summer (though I may never leave the chair. Someone else has fire duty from now on).

AND NOW: well, the thing broke, repeatedly and in multiple places. The top part broke within a couple of months, at which point I filled out my warranty card and received a nice e-mail asking if I would send photos. When I finally got around to sending the photos, they included the several other places where the strands had simply snapped. I have not heard from...Read more

Outback Chair CCH-237 Charleston Rope Chair . I have reviewed the customer pictures and reviews. It is obvious that some people are not getting the Charleston Rope Chair. This happened to me after my daughter bought me the real one for Christmas...I went back to Amazon in Aug to order another and although the picture showed it to be the same from a contract vendor; when it arrived, it was an imitation Omni swing for the same price as the Charleston Chair 79.95. No wonder one of the customer reviews said that she could not stretch out in hers. I am 5'9" and have plenty of room.
I had also ordered from another contract vendor, what I knew to be the Omni swing for less than 30.00 and I knew it would not be up to the same standard. That was fine. They refunded me 10.00 for not having the hardware as listed on the order. No problem. After receiving both swings I had two of the same chairs, same boxes and product #s, one being 40.00+ more. I had a very long and heated debate online...Read more

This has to be one of the most comfortable lounges I have been in. Not confining and so much room. Love the fact that you can lay back with feet up and go right to sleep or read a book.
