Macrame Hammock Chair, Boho Indoor/Outdoor
A reading chair that hangs instead of standing
The Hanging Hammock Chair is a macrame cotton swing seat designed to hang from a ceiling joist, a pergola beam, or a strong tree branch. Hand-knotted cotton rope construction with a wood-spreader bar at the top to keep the chair open, plus a fringe trim on the bottom edge. Rated to 330 lbs — works for adult use, two kids piled in, or a person plus a small pet. Hardware kit included: the swivel hook, the chain-extension links, and the install screws.
Hammock chairs do something a regular chair can't: they put you at a slight tilt and swing. That's the whole appeal. Most readers convert their reading time to a hammock chair after they own one — the gentle motion plus the cocooning macrame creates a focus environment harder to replicate with any rigid furniture. The cotton-rope construction softens over time and feels more like a fabric chair than a hard sling.
Where it earns its space
Best deployments: sunroom or three-season porch as the primary reading chair. Bedroom corner from an exposed ceiling beam in a loft. Covered patio with the swivel hook installed in a pergola beam. Kid's playroom or teen bedroom for unconventional seating. Garden or backyard from a strong tree branch (only with proper tree-protection straps — not included). Avoid: drywall ceiling without a stud or joist (drywall anchors will fail under 330 lb load); direct rain or sustained outdoor humidity (cotton mildews).
Frequently asked questions
How much weight can it hold?+
Rated to 330 lbs. Works for adult use, two children together, or one adult plus a small pet.
Where do I install it?+
Into a ceiling joist or load-bearing beam — drywall alone will not hold the weight. Use the included swivel hook driven into solid wood. For tree mounting, use proper tree-protection straps (sold separately).
Indoor or outdoor?+
Indoor or covered outdoor. The cotton will mildew under sustained rain or humidity. Move indoors for winter.
Does it come with a cushion?+
No — sold as the macrame chair only. Most owners add a small throw pillow for back support.
How tall is the hanging height?+
Adjustable via the included chain links — the chair can hang anywhere from 6 to 8 feet above the floor depending on your install.
How wide is the seat?+
Approximately 35 in. wide at the spreader bar. Comfortable single-occupant; two adults is a tight squeeze.
