LQGPSX Indoor Outdoor Rocker Review 2024

Do you love rocking chairs? Have you been frustrated in searching for someone capable of supporting more than 300 pounds, the informal industry standard?

If you answered yes to either of those questions, we completely understand. Most companies don’t make furniture sturdy enough for bigger, taller folk, and that’s a shame.

Fortunately, although mainstream brands don’t offer many options, several smaller brands have stepped into the area, offering furniture designed for big and tall people. This rocker is one such product.

No, you probably haven’t heard of LQGPSX. Before we started researching this chair for this review, neither had we, so if you’re brand-conscious, you’ve probably placed a mental strike against this model right out the gate. It’s also understandable, but if you’re willing to look past the fact that the brand is virtually unknown, you’ll find much to like in this chair. It’s not perfect, but it could be for the right user. Are you that user? Read on, and let’s find out!

Key Features of the LQGPSX Indoor Outdoor Rocker

The first thing you’ll note about this chair is that it looks more at home outside than inside. The chair is marketed as an indoor/outdoor rocker, and technically, it is. There’s nothing to stop you from hauling it inside and sitting down. But it’s got a metal frame, and most people don’t have a lot of metal-framed furniture in their homes.

Even so, the chair has viable indoor uses. It might not be in your living room (though if you wanted to put it there, you certainly could), but it would be a great addition to a game room or sunroom. If you use it indoors, you’ll want to be mindful of your floors. It’s probably better suited to a carpeted room, but with proper protection on the skids, it could also be made to work on a hardwood floor.

The bottom line is that it resembles an outdoor rocker with a tubular steel frame. While there are no color options, you can buy the chair with or without cushions. Without cushions, it’s an outdoor chair. Spending a little extra on the cushions, which run from the top of the seatback to your calves, makes it a better fit as an indoor rocker.

Speaking of the cushions, note how far down the length of the chair they extend. This chair not only rocks but reclines as well! It can pull double duty as a reasonably comfortable recliner if you don’t want to use it as a rocker. We’ll have more to say about that later on. For now, it is enough to draw your attention to it.

Chair Specifications

Beyond the look and feel of the chair, let’s talk about the numbers that define it. Here are the basics:

As you can see, this is a sizable piece of furniture. But, given that it’s constructed using tube steel, it’s surprisingly lightweight. It’s also capable of supporting a generous amount of user weight. With a seat height of 18,” it’s a good fit for taller, heavier folk.

Adjustability And Comfort

Unlike most rockers, the LQGPSX Rocker is adjustable. It reclines, and you can change and lock the angle of the seatback, which raises the leg rest.

It’s also worth noting that this chair can be reclined into multiple Zero-G seating positions. It is fantastic and gives the chair a powerful, well-implemented ergonomic feature we had not expected to see.

Zero-G is not only incredibly comfortable but also helps reduce chronic back pain and has been documented to help lower blood pressure. On top of that, if you’ve recently had some surgical procedure, sitting in a Zero-G position will facilitate faster healing because it improves blood flow.

You can also adjust the chair by flipping the stationary legs into or out of position, switching it from recliner to rocking mode. This means that you can recline or rock. However, you can’t do both at the same time.

This chair is also collapsible, which makes it easy to store when it’s not in use. That’s another reason we reluctantly agree to classify it as indoor furniture.

Most furniture designed for indoor use doesn’t collapse. That’s typically the hallmark of occasional seating (folding chairs) or camp gear. Again, though, this chair has just enough legitimate indoor uses, so we went along with the company’s classification. It wouldn’t be our first choice as an indoor chair, but it might work for some.

Zero-G is a big part of the equation when it comes to comfort. But if you pay for the padded variant, even without Zero-G, you’ll find it surprisingly comfortable. The padding isn’t over the top, but there’s enough of it that you won’t be shifting uncomfortably in the chair.

If you opt to save a bit of money getting the non-cushioned variant, it’s still okay. Again, the Zero-G options make it better, but it’s not something you’ll want to lounge around in for hours at a time.

No Assembly Required

One nice, unexpected perk of buying this chair is that it arrives at your doorstep collapsed but otherwise ready to use. No assembly is required. Just take it out of the box, put it where you want it, and have a seat. That’s all there is to it.

Pros and Cons of LQGPSX Indoor Outdoor Rocking Chair

So, where does that leave us? This chair has a lot going for it, but it does have a few issues you should be mindful of before committing to a purchase. As we see it, here are the best features this model has to offer:

The biggest negatives, as we see them, are as follows:

LQGPSX Indoor Outdoor Rocker Review Conclusion

We like this rocker, but we don’t love it. It’s a versatile chair better suited to outdoor environments but could be used inside in a pinch. If you’re a DIYer, you won’t mind that you probably can’t count on the company to provide post-sales support. Given all of those things, we provisionally recommend it.
