Editorial Review:
This handsome, well-made chaise is tailor-made for soaking up the sun or relaxing by the pool. A unique tray table extends to hold drinks, magazines, and other lounging essentials, then slides back underneath for storage. The back adjusts to five positions--from fully-upright to completely-reclined. Matching cushions can also be purchased to add even more comfort.
The bench's slotted surface allows rain to flow through, rather than collect and damage the wood. The piece is made from kapur wood, a high-density Southeast Asian hardwood with excellent weather-resistant properties. Light enough to move easily around deck or lawn, kapur requires no finishing and is exceptionally-sturdy--with enough oil to repel the ravages of rain, sun, and dew. Rust-resistant hardware and mortise and tenon construction also add to the piece's strength and durability.
Before shipment, your new furniture received a generous application of teak oil. Teak oil provides protection from the ultraviolet sunrays. Left untreated, Kapur will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. If you prefer to prevent this weathering process, you may apply additional coats of teak oil. The frequency of necessary teak oil applications will depend on the intensity of the sun in your environment, but typically, one or two coats per year is sufficient. Teak oil can usually be found at a marine dealer, hardware store, or internet dealer. If you allow your furniture to weather, you may later decide that you would want to restore it to its original condition. This is possible by using teak cleaner products, also available at most marine dealers and internet dealers. After following the instructions for cleaning, you will want to apply a coat of teak oil to prevent the weathering process.
The lounge's preassembled components fit together easily with the help of an included allen wrench. This item measures 74 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 12-1/2 inches tall. --Mary Park

I love them:
I think the two chaise lounges I purchased are great! They are well built and easy to put together. I'm not concerned about any possible "bleeding" of the stain, which I have never seen on any product from Strathwood (and I have purchased four other products from them). Every year I apply new oil to the other Strathwood products, and I expect to do the same with the chaises-that is what is required with real wood if you want to have the brown look.
Very bad quality Chaise Lounge. I don't know how give 1 star :(:
Very bad quality in all way. Be careful when you are lay down because is falling in part easily. I got this year and have been used four time but I don't think this chaise will survive to use next year.
WisSkye:
We ordered two of these. One arrived with a broken part that supports the back rest. Amazon quickly replaced the lounger after we shipped it back. Sadly, the new lounger had the same part broken. We had to return it also. We had a conversation with customer service and they said that they have notified the warehouse that there may be a quality problem with the product. Then they recommended that we wait a week or so until the stock on hand had been checked out. Supposedly, we should be protected from... more info

I looked at this product for a long time before purchasing. So glad I decided to buy it!
