WALCUT Garden Patio Chaise Lounger Review 2025

Are you a heavier individual, or do you regularly entertain guests who are?

If you answered yes to that question and are in the market for outdoor furniture, you’ve probably already encountered a frustrating problem.

Finding furniture sturdy enough to support more than 300 pounds of user weight can be a real challenge. Most of the larger, well-established companies operating in the market simply ignore your segment of the market.

The good news is that since the big brands have opted not to make furniture for heavier people, this has created a tremendous opportunity for smaller brands you may not have heard of. They’ve happily stepped up and started offering a variety of furniture specifically designed for heavier people.

Walcut is one of those brands, and their all-wood Chaise Lounger is an excellent example of their work. The WALCUT Garden Patio Chaise Lounger is imperfect and won’t be for everyone. Still, it might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

In the sections that follow, we’ll tell you everything it has to offer and explain the limitations inherent in the design so you’ll have all the information you need to decide if it’s the right chair for you. If that sounds good to you, let’s take a closer look.

Key Features of the Walcut Garden Patio Chaise Lounge Chair

The first thing you’ll notice about the WALCUT Garden Patio Chaise lounger is that it’s all wood. That’s rare. Most loungers are a combination of aluminum or steel, wrapped with rattan, and covered in some water-resistant fabric. Some are pure rattan or similar materials.

The fact that this one is all wood is both a blessing and a curse. If you’re a wooden furniture fan, you’ll love it automatically. But as a lounger, you’re also almost certainly going to want to buy some pad that will fit it so it’s more comfortable. Lounging for hours on solid wood furniture with nothing beneath you doesn’t make for a comfortable experience, after all.

The chair’s wood is hemlock, which is durable and attractive. However, it should really be regarded as a blank slate. You can paint it, stain it, or cover it with any type of padding you choose, changing the chair’s look dramatically.

Chair Specifications

Before we go further, let’s look at the model’s core stats. Here are the basics:

This is not the longest lounger on the market, but it should be fine for most people. At just over 24” wide, even if you’re quite close to the chair’s maximum supported weight limit, you should have no problems fitting comfortably into the chair, which is good. Of course, we’re quite happy with the maximum supported weight limit.

Walcut points out that this chair can be collapsed and taken with you, implying that this would make a good beach chair, but we disagree with that assessment. At nearly 35 pounds, unless you live practically on the beach, it’s too heavy to be used in the capacity, in our view. Plenty of other, lighter loungers would be a better fit if that’s what you plan to use it for.

On the other hand, it is light enough that it is easy to pack away for storage in the offseason or when you’re not using it. It’s also heavy enough that if you decide to leave it out year-round, a stout wind is unlikely to move it around your deck, porch, or patio.

Adjustability and Comfort

The WALCUT Garden Patio Chaise Lounge chair’s seatback can be adjusted via four different recline settings, including one that allows you to lay completely flat in the chair.

As we said in the section above, the chair isn’t all that comfortable by itself. However, it should be viewed more as a blank slate, allowing you to customize it for comfort to your heart’s content. If you decide to buy one of these, there’s no reason it should provide an uncomfortable seating experience. You can keep adding padding until you’re happy with it.

There are two other things to note here. First, this is a pretty low chair, sitting less than a foot off the ground. If you suffer from mobility issues, getting into and out of this lounger may be challenging. It should be fine for most people, but it bears thinking about.

Second, this chair comes with a fun little surprise. It has a pull-out side table built in that measures 9.84” wide and 12.6” long. It’s not huge, but it is certainly big enough to accommodate a cold drink, a snack tray, or other miscellaneous items you want to keep with you while you’re enjoying a leisurely afternoon.

We love the built-in table. It’s a small thing, but it enhances the chair’s value.

Some Assembly is Required

As with most of the furniture you can buy online if you want one of these, it will arrive at your door in a large box and be mostly assembled, but not completely.

The production quality is a cut above average. All the pieces go together pretty much as you’d expect them to, and the assembly instructions are clear. From unboxing to completion, the process will take about thirty minutes, and you won’t be able to shave that down significantly by adding an extra pair of hands.

Note, however, that this chair is unfinished. If you want to extend its longevity, you’ll want to sand and stain it or, at the very least, coat it with polyurethane to help protect it from the elements.

The good news is that the sky’s the limit regarding what this chair looks like. You can paint or stain it any color you please. The downside is that taking the time to do so will add a few days on the clock to use it for the first time. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s something to be mindful of.

Also note that this chair does not come with an expert assembly option, so you’ll have to put it together yourself or convince a friend to help.

That said, if you’re looking for something you can take out of the box and use immediately, this isn’t the chair you want.
