Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Despite having a good number of lawn and patio chairs, I haven’t owned an outdoor reclining chair in years though I’ve been wanting one. I have had good luck with the Timber Ridge brand in the past so I decided to see what they offered in this category. I have some rare downtime scheduled this summer (lucky me) and plan on taking in some rays in my backyard as much as possible. I chose the oversized chair for two reasons: One, I’m always thinking of the larger people in my life and in all honesty, I try to lure my dad down for more visits by having comfortable pieces of furniture and places for him to relax; and Two, for some reason my children are either always fighting over who gets to sit in the cool chairs, or they are fighting to sit with me. This chair allows for either my two children to share, or one to sit comfortably with me. Problem solved! Okay, so the chair itself is huge. It’s not something you’d just casually toss in the back of your car then carry a long distance for a picnic or something. It folds up nicely and doesn’t take up a lot of space, but it is kinda heavy. That’s also why it’s so sturdy. This thing doesn’t wobble and the legs don’t shift when you’re sitting in it - it’s really a solidly constructed chair. Once you figure out how to lock your position in place (there are knobs on the sides of the armrests), you can literally just set it and forget it. That is also the time I pretend I’m on a tropical island and that the distant voices of children incessantly yelling, “Mom! Mom!” are merely seagulls, just looking for some food. So back to reality… The brown and blue colors are really pretty and gender-neutral. The grommets and “lacing” (for lack of a better term?) seem really secure, too. One of my favorite features of this chair is kinda weird, but just go with it: the pillow. The pillow is adjustable so it can move up and down so even the shorter members of my family can find a good fit. Or you can slide it under your lower back for added support. You can also just pull the pillow completely off the chair. I am just under six-feet-tall and I love how my entire body can basically be contained in this thing. No more bottom bar digging into the back of my knees or calves. I am really happy with my purchase. Now, if I could just get those seagulls to pipe down...
