Simple Living Black Storage Chaise Lounge
Ok.... First off, you get what you pay for. This isn't a $2000 piece of furniture, but it is a really nice piece for the price. I have to say, I read the other reviews and almost canceled my order, but it game so quick, I didn't have a chance to and I am glad I didn't. It was well packed, so it didn't come damaged, it comes in two boxes, so it isn't so heavy you can't bring it in on your own. Where I had a problem with the other reviews were with the people complaining about putting it together, that it didn't match up and they had to poke holes in the fabric to put it together. Well, poking holes in the fabric you could certainly get it put together, BUT DON'T POKE HOLES in the back of this piece! I don't want to say the other people aren't smart, but you know, if the shoe fits.... Big bolts go through the back into the seat and arm to hold the back on, but instead of poking holes, the fabric on the back has a velcro closure, so all you have to do is open the back up, put in the screws and then place the backing back down over the screws, hiding them and not having to poke holes in anything. I will have to say, for the price, I don't even know how they made it for this and sold it. I looks much more expensive that a two hundred and some dollar piece of furniture and also seems quite sturdy. As for comfort, may not be perfect but it isn't bad at all. I also like the storage compartment, it is deep enough to put several throws into, which is nice if you are like us and have dogs who like to steal your throws the second you walk out of the room, you have a place to hide them. We live in Chicago, in a classic style Chicago condo, which means the rooms are all jumbled up and their are radiators everywhere you look. We wanted a sectional so we could both stretch out, but that wasn't going to happen because their was a radiator in the way. So working with the space we have, we brought a new Chesterfield sofa and this chaise lounge, which works perfect in a small space and still gives us room to both stretch out. I would recommend this to a friend, I also noticed they have this in tan, under another listing, for the people that black might be a bit too much for!
