I don't mind putting things together myself, but this item comes completely apart with NO directions!!!
I thought I was getting a deal, but it's still in the bag because I can't figure out how it correctly assembles.
Oh, well.
FALSE ADVERTISING!! 2007-05-09
I bought two of these chairs under the impression from the product description on Amazon that they were completely weather resistant and care-free.
On Amazon they are described as:
UV and weather resistant solid hardwood dowels * Completely UV/weather resistant. Doesn't have to be brought inside when not in use. * Will not mold, mildew, rot, or dry out for the life of the chair.
BUT, when I received them and they had NO INSTRUCTIONS included, I contacted EWINS directly and was directed to their website for instructions which followed their description of these chairs. I was shocked when I read a completely different description:
* Bring your chair indoors when it is not in use. The color will fade when left in the sun, and the natural fabric may succumb to rainy and damp conditions with continuous exposure. If the fabric becomes damp, let it dry out to help prevent mildew.
So instead of having a chair that you simply hang up (which is NOT a simple task) and leave alone, I now have to take them down and bring them inside when not in use? NO THANK YOU! Maybe if these were easier to hang, but it is a very involved process of tying proper knots and making sure each side is level. Who wants to get up on a ladder and untie the knots which hold this to a tree branch every time you are done using it, then have to set it all up again the next time you want to use it?
I am more than disappointed that I was lied to.
A dream at the end of a hard day 
2007-04-25
I was looking at hammocks to buy, and there's an awful lot of choice out there, and prices vary immensely, as do reviews. It's hard to gauge exactly which is the best deal and which, ultimately, is going to be the best place to relax with a book and a gin and tonic on a Sunday afternoon.
In the meantime this little chair caught my eye. At $19.99 a pop I bought two to hang under our wraparound deck. I put them at the back of the house, which is very sheltered and quiet.
Instructions for assembling these are on the company's web site, but are not included in the box. After a bit of contemplation and a few false starts I went online and had the two assembled and up pretty quickly.
Tying knots is not my strongpoint, and I experienced a bit of a jolt when testing seat number two. But I recovered quickly, and re-tied the knot, and there have been no further bruisings since.
The ultimate test was to come home after a long day at the office and try one of these chairs.
It was a delight - sitting reading my new book, drink at my side on a low table, swinging ever so slightly in the sping air. I fell asleep the second time, despite the none recumbent position I was in.
I heartily recommend this product to anyone looking to relax and take it easy.
Needs extension rope that is _not_ included 
2008-06-18
This chair does not come with the extension rope that is mentioned in the instructions. Currently hanging from my back patio cover joist (which is 7' off the ground) this chair's bottom is about 40" off the ground. Clearly too high to get into, much less get out of. I emailed the company's support and they said they do not offer the extension rope and that "last year's model" came with it but not this one. I thought it was a good deal at $30.50 shipped, but now I have to go buy nylon rope and attach it manually, hoping I can tie a sailor's knot appropriately and my family doesn't bust their A$$ sitting in it. The other one I have, which I paid $70 for, doesn't need an extension rope the rope itself is long enough. I think next time I'd prefer to just spend more money and get something engineered out of the box to work without "accessories" required.
Great price & great swing chair 
2008-05-28
I was looking for another swing chair to replace one that had finally broken (unfortunately when someone sat in it). This one seemed like such a good price and so far has been an excellent product. It was already assembled in the box, so all I had to do was hang it up -- easy! Yes, the material is just a little thinner than one that I had earlier but that hasn't affected it in any way, it's still a very comfortable place to sit. I've enjoyed using it very much. The cup holder plus the bag for storage are nice extras too.
many happy hours of air time 2008-04-26
We had a rope chair hammock--it was wonderful!! we needed a new chair hammock when that one collapsed--i saw this one and was very impressed--bought it--no great instructions on how to hang ot--the rope hammock had a ring and hook thingy to hang on a secured ringlet of sorts--this one did not--it was the biggest problem--my husband hooked it up--however it would have to stay out during winter--spring--summer--fall--rain--wind--snow--etc--we have had it for several years--3-4 yrs--always outside in the shore area and salt-air--this year it has a worn area in the seat--it hasn't ripped--it is just worn--we are going to purchase a new one just because swinging in the summer breeze looking up at the stars--listening to the the waves--was way better and cheaper than sleeping pills or a shrink--it was WOOONNNDERFUl!!!! get one--or two. WE loved it! My husband is a large fellow 275+ and it worked for him.
air chair 2007-08-12
LOVE IT all the way around. solid sewing apparently as I am a big boy if you know w hat i mean and it holds me. will buy more
When considering the price, the chair is good 2007-06-18
Although the retail price for this chair is $70, I purchased one similar at a fair for about $70 and it is a bit better than this one. However, when you can get this chair for $20, it is worth it. The areas where this chair doesn't quite stack up to my $70 model are:
1. Arm straps are no sewn in, they slip freely along the wooden poles. You can rectify this by wedging them in there or perhaps use a staple gun, tack, or nail. I wedged mine in and it is okay - just not as comfortable as the other one.
2. Foot rest fabric is larger, but thinner, which makes it a bit more challenging to use; this is a very small difference.
3. Stitching is not as solid, but I think the chair should last a while. The stitching on the more expensive chair I have is more thorough and in lining around the connection points are much thicker.
This chair has two water drainage holes in the seat, so standing water shouldn't be a problem. I live in Phoenix area AZ, so it is fairly dry here - not a good testing ground to see how well it holds up to wet conditions.
Overall, I am glad I purchased this chair and I expect that it will last a long time. The more expensive chair will probably last longer, and is more comfortable, but for $20, I have no complaints.
