theherd123 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks for all the information chaps - so much choice! I noticed on ebay that there is an upholstered sofa swing seat from the sixties for sale....how handy are you with a sewing machine, I reckon you could make one of those crazy expensive ones yourself! About as handy as a brain surgeon operating with an axe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Are you sorted yet with your wooden swing seat or is this of any interest to you? http://www.gardenandbuilding.co.uk/garden-swing-seats-284-c.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 We got a very nice wooden one 4 or 5 years ago from John Lewis (Waitrose actually). They still sell one that looks just the same (but a bit dearer). They sell cushions, but I find it's comfortable enough without. And it has wide arm rests for drinks. It's a bit pricy (I had received a generous gift to "buy something for the garden"), but we have left it outside in all weathers since we got it. We jet washed and oiled it last weekend and it has come up looking like new. http://www.johnlewis.com/230451020/Product.aspx (It's the Montana swing seat if the link doesn't work).

Egluntyne Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 couldn't wait for the pug to return, so assembled it myself The "pug" Buffie? It's Mike's nickname... makes me laugh too because he's so unpug-like Yes sorry Mikey called himself the pug, no idea why, when he lost his hair Anyway he's now 'my pug'. BBx I had visions of a little dog with a screwdriver assembling the chair. All is clear to me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I've had an 'air chair' for years - and I love it! It's more of a solitary chair than the others in this thread, but brilliant for reading / snoozing / dreaming in. http://www.trueshopping.co.uk/product/Trueshopping_Hammock_Air_Chair_/2353/40893.html This offer is really good value!

Krysia Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 We have thought about getting one for years and bought one in B&M of al places last weekend. Hubby was very impressed it is hard wood and oiled (So we or rather HE needs to re oil it every year) it doesn't have cushions but doesn't need them as very comfy and only cost £79! Bargain!
