The Weight Capacity

The multi tonal design is what makes this chair really stand out when it comes to looks. In addition to this, the wooden armrests also make this an outstanding and modern zero gravity chair for the outdoors.

What Other Buyers are Saying

Timber Ridge Oversized XL Padded Zero Gravity Chair - BlueThe most notable and frequent compliment about this anti gravity recliner is how comfortable it is. Many are pleasantly surprised by just how comfortable the padded seat is and most are surprised that an outdoor recliner is capable of this level of comfort.

Another point that frequently comes up in the Timber Ridge zero gravity chair reviews from buyers, is the strong design and secure weight capacity.

The majority of buyers of this anti gravity chair consider it to be one of the best zero gravity chairs around. Many highlight how attractive the chair is and consider it to be of a very high quality. As you would expect from a product that has received 5 out of 5 stars from 80% of buyers at the time of writing.

As is always to be expected with any product there are a few negative reviews and these generally seem to be centered around the chairs ability to be left outdoors and remain in good condition. Timber Ridge however do state that these chairs should not be left out in the elements. It is often advised with any zero gravity chair that it is taken inside during wetter spells, to prevent any problems such as those encountered by the few that have had cause to complain.

One other slight issue some have is the weight of this particular recliner. Weighing around 21 lbs in weight, it isn’t a hugely portable option for some. This however is generally the sort of weight you would expect when opting for a padded oversized zero gravity chair. The bulky design and heavier weight is also something that is fairly common in well made chairs that provide a great deal of durability. When compared to other brands extra large models, this Timber Ridge zero gravity chair only weighs about one pound extra, so there really isn’t too much additional weight at all.

Overall

All in all this chair in our opinion is one of the best XL zero gravity chairs currently available and it is no wonder it has received such great reviews.

 

What we love

  • The strong design and sturdy frame really set this chair apart from the rest. The 350 lbs weight capacity is in our opinion one of the best features about this chair and that’s without taking into account it’s good looks and stylish design.

 

  • The extra padding on the seat of the chair is another excellent addition not found on many other oversized anti gravity recliners. If exceptional comfort is what you require from your outdoor recliner then the Timber Ridge zero gravity lounger chair is unlikely to disappoint.

 

  • The stylish seat design and wooden armrests. If you are fed up with seeing the same black and tan zero gravity recliners then the earth and blue designs of this recliner should really catch your eye. The wooden armrests really add a little extra personality and even the included cup holder differs from the majority of the other products around.

 

  • The large size is great for anyone who loves a little extra space and should be perfect for anyone taller or wider. Perfect for anyone looking for an extra wide or extra long zero gravity chair.

 

  • The price, in our opinion this is just right when the quality of the chair is taken into account. A padded gravity chair that is very good value for money, considering it is only a few dollars more than most XL zero gravity recliners.

 

  • It is a large zero gravity chair that reclines back a fairly decent amount. It is a common problem these days that many find their zero gravity chair does not recline back as much as they would like. As you can see from the image above in the weight capacity section this zero gravity chairs reclines to an amount most should find suitable.

 

Whats not so great

  • Although we do not consider this a problem some may do, all be it a very minor one. Like many extra large gravity recliners this isn’t that great for carrying around by hand. Portability does generally seem to be one of the main issues most have with extra large zero gravity chairs. However at present this chair weighs around the same weight as the majority of other XL outdoor gravity chairs listed on our site.

 

  • Does not hold up to wear and tear well if left outdoors in bad weather. This is something that is often true for most zero gravity outdoor chairs and is fairly easy to avoid. If you make sure you fold the chair up for storage during bad weather you should find that you experience no problems with deterioration.

Overall Rating for the Timber Ridge Extra Large Zero Gravity Chair: 4.6 / 5
