- Is the Hugo chaise comfortable without a cushion?
- The sling gives a taut, supportive seat rather than a soft one. Most people find it fine for reading or sunbathing, but it is firmer than a cushioned lounger.
- How does it hold up outdoors?
- The teak frame is naturally weather-resistant and the sling is made for outdoor use. Left untreated, teak fades to a silver-gray; oil it yearly if you want the original honey tone.
- Does the back recline?
- Yes. The sling back adjusts to several positions, though the range is narrower than on multi-position mechanical chaises.
- Can I leave it out in winter?
- Teak handles rain and sun well, but in freezing or snowy climates store it or cover it to protect the frame and sling.
- How does it compare with a cushioned aluminum chaise?
- The Hugo is lighter-looking and needs no cushion upkeep, but it offers less padding and fewer recline positions. Aluminum chaises are easier to move and usually cheaper.
- What do I need to assemble?
- The frame arrives partly assembled; expect to attach the legs and fit the sling. Two people make it easier because of the weight.
