Review on Zupapa Hanging Hammock Chair C-Stand Only For Air Porch Swing Chair, Heavy Duty 350Lbs Capacity Come With Rug, Pegs And Hook, Outdoor/Indoor by Matt Pavelko

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Quality control issue but good customer service; frame is good but SKY Chair is probably not best for it

We finally have the stand put together and operational with a SKY Chair so I'm updating my review.This vendor has a problem with quality control. The first package sent had a frame with bolt holes that didn't line up. They immediately sent a replacement without requesting return of the first package. The second package had bolts that didn't fit the screws. We had to use parts from both packages to get the stand together.The vendor was extremely responsive and supportive throughout, staying in contact until we confirmed that we had an operational frame.The frame is easy to put together but it was too heavy for me to do alone. I suggest that you do not install the upper part of the frame until you have it in its final location. Also please note: the instruction pictures do not adequately highlight that the stand has longer feet on one side, and the C frame should be installed over the longer feet for stability. (We received slightly different parts and slightly different instructions with each package so perhaps some versions of the instructions point this out better.)As for the SKY Chair -- after some trial and error we managed to get the chair up high enough on this frame to be usable, although we have not pushed the weight limit, and a person's weight pulls the chair down toward the ground because the rope is somewhat stretchy. It's essential to put the hook in place with the upper rope as tight as it can be while still allowing the frame bar to be inserted.So the SKY Chair is usable with this frame, but probably not at the weight limit supported by the frame. In addition, the chair hangs low enough that getting out of the chair can be tricky. I have short legs and I have to carefully position my feet right under me in order to be able to get to a crouch and stand up. My daughter's legs are longer and she has a harder time. Good thing the chair is for me!The frame is the advertised height so the issue with the SKY Chair is not a fault of the frame. The problem with the frame might be that the supporting stand criss-crosses right where I have to put my feet to get up safely -- if I make a mistake, I could certainly trip over the frame.In short, the SKY Chair may not be the best fit for this frame, but I have to point out that I haven't found any frames that stand higher.

Pros
  • Exactly as described.
Cons
  • Assembling it was all fine. But I have had this less than a month and it is rusting already. Just crazy!
