Flowerhouse Sports Hanging Lounge Chair Review 2024

Are you a fan of basketball, football, or soccer? Do you enjoy outdoor entertaining? Do you weigh more than 300 pounds? If you answered yes to those three questions, you will like what you read in this review.

The simple truth is that most of the furniture on the market today, indoor or outdoor, isn’t designed with bigger, taller, or heavier users in mind. If you fall into that category, most of the furniture available is useless. The sports-themed chairs FlowerHouse offers are a happy exception to this rule, supporting a more generous 400 pounds of user weight.

We’ll quickly admit that the FlowerHouse Sports Hanging Lounge chairs aren’t perfect. They’re niche products. You’re almost certain not to want one if you’re not a sports fan. If you are, they deserve a spot on your shortlist for consideration.

These fun pieces of outdoor furniture will add a certain flair to the outdoor spaces around your home. In the sections that follow, we’ll tell you everything they have to offer. If that sounds good, read on, and let’s look closer.

Key Features of the FlowerHouse Sports Ball Hanging Chair

The first thing to mention about the FlowerHouse Sports Hanging Lounge chairs is that if you want one (or more), you can get yours in one of three styles. Yours can be in the shape of a basketball, a football, or a soccer ball, depending on which sports you’re most interested in.

Chair Specifications

In terms of basic stats, here’s what you’re looking at:

The frame on which the chair hangs is fashioned from sleek black tubed steel. It supports an impressive amount of user weight while keeping the weight low enough that it’s at least possible to move it around if necessary. However, note that these aren’t lightweight chairs. Most people will probably be able to move them around independently, but it would be much easier to have some help.

Note that the frame’s feet sport rubberized caps that will help spare your flooring if you decide to use this chair indoors. It’s a fairly big piece of furniture, and unless your entire room is sports-themed, it will look a bit out of place, but it could be a perfect fit for a sports lover’s bedroom or a large game room in your home.

Adjustability and Comfort

There’s nothing adjustable about the FlowerHouse Sports Ball Hanging chairs, so there’s nothing to say on that front. Comfort-wise, however, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. These are hanging swing chairs. They surround you when you sit in them, providing a comfortable, swinging seat and a canopy to shade you from the sun.

The stretchy, elastic material is breathable, and each variant of the chair boasts a large, removable seat pad generously padded with poly fiberfill, which is delightfully comfortable. Even better, the material is durable, quick-drying, and weather-resistant, making these chairs an ideal addition to your patio or deck.

Note that whichever variant of the chair you opt for, you will find one fun “extra” on offer: a fabric pocket built into the side that’s big enough to serve as a cup holder. This allows you to curl up in the chair on game day with a cold drink and a bowl of chips in your lap and cheer your favorite team on.

Assembly is Required

It probably comes as no surprise, but when the sports chair of your choice arrives at your door, it will be in a big box with several pieces. While the FlowerHouse Sports Swing chair itself doesn’t require any assembly (all you have to do is hang it), you will have to spend some time assembling the frame.

Unfortunately, the chair frame probably doesn’t look like anything you’ve ever put together before, which will slow the process down at least slightly. On the flip side, there are only a handful of pieces to contend with; the production quality is decent, and the frame pieces go together easily enough. That, combined with reasonably clear assembly instructions, will see you completing the process in about twenty minutes, counting, unboxing, and sorting.

Note that these chairs do not offer an expert assembly option, so you’ll have to do it yourself or enlist the aid of a trusty assistant if you don’t like putting your own furniture together.

Pros and Cons of Flowerhouse Sports Hanging Lounge Chair

As we said at the start, these chairs are niche products, no doubt. If you’re not a basketball, football, or soccer fan, then you won’t give them a second thought. If you are a fan and looking for indoor/outdoor furniture to create a sports-themed aesthetic for your deck, patio, or game room, these chairs are a perfect fit.

Also, note that FlowerHouse is a small brand with no reputation for post-sales support, so if you encounter a problem with this chair, getting help from the company might be a bit of an adventure.

FlowerHouse Sports Hanging Lounge Chair Review Conclusion

We like the FlowerHouse Sports Hanging Lounge chairs but don’t love them. They’re interesting and unusual chairs, but you’ll struggle to figure out what to do with one without dedicating an entire room, deck, or patio to a sports theme. On that basis, we provisionally recommend the chair.
