- And you've woken up refreshed and wondered, 'what magic does this hanging chair hold???' Installation was pretty quick into the rafter above our patio. It will hold 250 lb without any sign of giving up. 
WORD TO THE WISE, THOUGH: I did not feel comfortable with the tension connection between the cords, and wound up interweaving some wire through and around every connection, then pouring superglue over the whole thing. I feel much more securely suspended in the chair that way.
