Review on Relax In Style With Flamaker'S Adjustable Zero Gravity Chair For Outdoor Living by Doug Bundy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

These look great, run small, have a strong odor that goes away in a few days

STRONG POINTS: ARRIVED EARLY AND LOOK NICEThe chairs arrived EARLY and in great condition. Easy unboxing with bubble wrap. No assembly required. The charcoal-woven material looks great and the supporting strings are sturdy. The frame is light weight. The arm rests feels like thin, cheap plastic, but these were the least expensive Zero Gravity chairs I could find online at @ $50 each.[Our other gravity chair is much sturdier and larger.]POINTS OF CONCERN: RUNS SMALL AND SMELLS LIKE CHEMICALSThe Flamaker chair runs small. I'm 5'6"/125 lb, and it fits me well, but my feet reach the lower bar. The chair is snug for taller/heavier family members to recline in; their feet dangle over the end. The first day I used the chairs they reeked of chemicals. The odor literally gave me a headache. After a day and night outside, the smell is not as bad, but it's still too strong to sit in them for very long. [Note: I'm not very picky nor sensitive to smells. This level of odor from a lawn chair is ridiculous.] It seems like the odor will go away with time. I definitely would not order these chairs and plan to use them upon arrival; they need time to air out. **UPDATE: Day 4 the smell is gone. I changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars.FINE PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE: For me, the chairs are a perfect fit. For folks over 5'8" or with a larger body frame, these chairs may run a bit small. Zero Gravity chairs are very comfortable, but it appears that the more expensive models cost more because they're larger and with sturdier materials--I got what I paid for = 4 stars.

Pros
  • Adds a decorative touch to any outdoor space
Cons
  • The chair is not very good for people who have OCD
