We finally have the chair on the patio. In order to make it safe, we need to add sister beams to hold the installation. It turns out adding not only fun looking, but good looking to our house. I bought the white chair. It weighs light, but sturdy. My three kids, all teenagers, can seat on it together. I don't think it is safe to swing high on it, but very comfy chair. The metal chain came along with the chair is a bit too short. We bought extra to extend it.
