Kingfisher Gravity Garden Reclining Sun Chair Lounger

I don't know what all the other reviewers are moaning about, I love this chair. I got mine a bit cheaper than full price, but not by much (Warehouse Deal) and consider it worth the new price, easily. Because of the the negative reviews, I was dubious, but so many are sold in pairs, and I only needed one, which reduced the choice. I also didn't want to spend £70 or more, so decided to try this out.. am glad I did now. I can only think that others have received defective products, but then Amazon will surely sort it out, including if it breaks after the 30 days but before it reasonably should. Regarding returning, though, be aware: it comes in quite a big box (100 x 67 x 16 cm). I find it easy to change position within the chair: it moves very easily, and I am short, skinny and weak, and can both unfold, carry, and change positions when seated with ease. You can leave the loops on the arm rests in the open position, then you can change your position through leaning back or forward (I also rest my feet on the foot rest and kind of pull up/push down with my feet to make it easier). As others have pointed out, it's easier to move your position if you're sitting right back in the chair. Or if you place the loops in the other position, you can lock the chair in one position, and to me, the locks seem robust enough and so far, seem to work well in all positions. What I would say, though: I am 5" and the foot rest is in just the correct position for me, so if you're tall with long legs, am not sure how comfortable this would be, as I suspect the foot rest would be under your legs or ankles. But upwards, there's room: I had to move the cushion down about 20 cm or 8" (measured from the bottom of the top bar), so upwards, there's room for someone taller, just not downwards.. The chair is comfortable in all positions for me, and it feels sturdy enough, both the frame and the fabric. I think the strain on the fabric is probably the weakest spot with these chairs, but I can't see the fabric tearing any time soon. However, if you weigh anywhere close the maximum this chair is rated for (120 kg), I would maybe consider a more heavy duty option. You can buy replacement cords for these, but imagine it's quite a job, re-threading it all, and I suspect the fabric would tear before the cords break. One other thing: it comes fully assembled. I was puzzled by the offer of "expert assembly", but that must refer to unpacking and unfolding the chair. The only negative I can see was that the bottom of the frame was slightly scratched in places, but mine was used and it's on the bottom. It probably won't last forever, but expect to get a good few years out of it. Overall, am very pleased, and would recommend, bearing in mind the foot rest issue for taller people, and that the weight rating might be a bit on the optimistic side.. Will try and add a pic once the weather permits.

THOUGHT I WOULD UPDATE YOU,, I HAVE BEEN INTOUCH WITH THE COMPANY AND THEY ARE COLLECTING BOTH CHAIRS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND HOPEFULLY EXCHANGE THEM, I AM SURE I HAVE JUST BEEN UNLUCKY TO HAVE 2 CHAIRS THAT WILL NOT LOCK. THESE ARE MUCH BETTER MADE THAN HOMEBASE AND BETTER QUALITY, CUSTOMER SERVICE SEEMS TO BE EXCELLENT AND IF THEY ARE COLLECTED FRIDAY AFTERNOON I WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THEM.HAVE JUST USED TODAY ALTHOUGH IT WAS DELIVERED END OF MAY, BECAUSE OF THE NICE WEATHER AND DISSAPOINTED AS THE LOCKING MECHANISM DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK, THE CHAIR GRADUALLY GOES BACK TO SITTING POSITION. ALSO THE PILLOW HEAD REST HAS BEEN SEWN INCORRECTLY AND THE SPONGE IS SHOWING AROUND THE EDGE, I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO FOLD FLAT YOU NEED TO GIVE IT A VERY FIRM PUSH IN THE LYING POSITION. I HAVE JUST EMAILED THEM AND WILL UPDATE YOU. I BROUGHT 2 SO AM GOING TO TRY THE OTHER ONE TOMOROW AND HOPE IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THEY WILL BOTH BE RETURNED.

Cannot fault the recliner in any way, seems very strong, robust and VERY comfortable, just the job for the garden. There are a couple of things that I can fault but nothing to do with the chair, one was the packaging, came in a very large like plastic mailing bag, on the bottom of the standing edge were two tares which had gone through the bag and marked the metal and the fabric slightly but nothing that concerned me but it could have been worse, probably been dragged across a rough surface, a cardboard cover on the end edges would have protected this. the other complaint was that I paid for next day delivery which didn't happen but I got postage refund from Amazon. Just a thing that might help, when I tried to unfold the chair, all the pivot joints were slightly stiff, a minimum spray of WD 40 and it glides open so easily now, also, found that It was easier not to use the locking mechanism.

Best bargain Iv had this year Super comfortable Very sturdy Just took me 5 min to figure out to lay it back But once I got the hang of it was super easy You have to use the power in your back and legs to get the chair back So maybe not a great buy for older people but fantastic buy

Delivery was over a week late and far from the advertised time. Didn't arrive in time for when I wanted and communicated from seller was basic. Seller said coming with royal mail but was showing as with yodel, came in a blank white van late in the evening. Wasn't packaged just in a giant grey mailer.Doesn't go back as far as my previous one and the seat is quite solid. Would have preferred a mesh fabric which is breathable this makes you sweat. Needs a towel over it. Was stiff to begin with but ok after a few uses. Has locking mechanism under arms to hold in position and a head pillow.Not sure of its longevity, just hoping it lasts awhile as these things aren't cheap.

I always look at Amazon reviews before buying. Also, I have only JUST started reviewing what I purchase. YES the box on this item was “slightly ruffled” - that was (because I live in Ireland) due to Excise & Duty. NOT Amazon. I have been using AMAZON since it first came out. Never....EVER have they let me or my company down. And this Reclining Sun Chair was no exception. It was exactly what it said it was! Its soo easy to fold up. Really comfortable. It only cost me €40 to bring to Ireland. WOW. And, by the way, I looked up loads of other places to get something like this and Amazon was by far The cheapest. Thanks Amazon.

Great chair once you have got off to get in the position you want, it's so stiff u can't do it if you sitting on it then ungainly trying to get back on it, but chair ok
