Listing check – August 2, 2026: exact Amazon ASIN B08CS5BDZ7 is live and in stock with Charcoal Gray and Standard (No light) selected. The listing identifies Best Choice Products model and part number SKY5871, UPC 842957123179, and Best Choice Products Inc as the current seller and shipper. This review covers that 73-inch hanging curved steel chaise with a canopy, not a lighted variation, replacement cushion, cover, egg chair, or conventional reclining chaise.
Quick verdict: the SKY5871 creates a suspended fixed-position seat inside its own 73-by-46-by-78-inch steel stand. It includes a polyester seat, separate tied cushion or pillow component, and a removable 46-inch canopy. The design needs more room than its outline because the seat hangs from a carabiner and the manual directs users to enter from the side. It is also a 74-pound assembly project with a seller-rated 265-pound limit, not a portable folding lounger.
We researched the current exact listing, Best Choice Products support page, and model-family instruction manual but did not buy, assemble, sit-test, swing-test, weather-test, or long-term own this chair. The previous article treated comfort, ergonomics, weather protection, UV resistance, durability, customer opinion, value, and wellness benefits as proven. This replacement separates published dimensions, seller claims, manual instructions, catalog conflicts, missing evidence, and practical planning boundaries.

Exact identity, offer, and return warning
Amazon’s product-information panel gives model SKY5871. The Best Choice Products support page for the hanging curved chaise lists SKY1831, SKY5871, SKY5872, and SKY5873 as a related model family, while the Amazon manual adds later variants. Match the carton and instruction cover to SKY5871 rather than assuming that every color or updated model uses identical parts.
At the time checked, the selected Charcoal Gray, Standard (No light) chair was in stock, sold and shipped by Best Choice Products Inc. SiteStripe classified the item in Patio, Lawn & Garden at the current 3% rate. Amazon also displayed a Frequently Returned Item notice. That flag does not identify a defect or predict an individual experience, but it makes carton inspection, assembly restraint, and return-logistics review especially important.
The current Amazon offer showed a 30-day refund-or-replacement route. A separate product-information field is labeled “60 day warranty,” but its text describes conditional returns to a Best Choice Products center, often at the customer’s shipping expense. The manufacturer manual also describes a 60-day return process, not a clear performance-warranty term. Do not assume a 60-day product warranty; read the current seller warranty and return documents before assembly.
Footprint, movement, and side-entry clearance
The published static outline is 73 inches deep by 46 inches wide by 78 inches high. Tape that rectangle on the intended surface and protect the full height from roofs, lights, fans, branches, awnings, and low beams. Then add clearance around the suspended seat. A hanging seat can move within its frame when someone enters, exits, shifts weight, or when wind acts on the canopy.
The manual specifically warns users not to enter from the front and instructs them to enter from the side. Preserve a stable approach on at least one side and keep the other movement zone clear of walls, railings, tables, planters, pool edges, grills, doors, and walkways. Do not locate the chaise where movement could block an exit or place a user over a step or drop.
Amazon’s structured field recommends a hard floor. The manual says the product is for residential use but does not publish a floor-leveling tolerance, anchor system, wind rating, or approval for soil, sand, grass, sloped decking, or commercial settings. Use a flat, stable surface that can support the frame and load without rocking, sinking, sliding, staining, or damaging the finish. The site’s small-patio layout guide explains why one large lounge piece should replace, not crowd, other seating.
Seat height, fixed position, and access
Amazon publishes a 19-inch seat height, 22-inch seat depth, and 32-inch seat-back interior height. These are seller catalog values rather than independent measurements, and a suspended fabric seat can settle differently when occupied. The page does not state exactly where the seat-height measurement begins or how much deflection occurs under load.
The features table gives one reclining position and one height position. The curved chaise shape may look like a recliner, but the listing does not document an adjustable backrest, footrest, seat angle, or tension mechanism. Buyers who need upright posture, multiple recline settings, firm arm support, or transfer assistance should not infer those features from the word “chaise.”
The product is listed as armless even though another generic feature field says “Arm.” The model photos and manual show a suspended curved seat with side frame tubes, not conventional chair arms. Anyone relying on arms to sit or stand should inspect the exact geometry and test a comparable 19-inch suspended seat before ordering. The Christopher Knight Tycie chaise review covers a very different low, fixed wood lounger for comparison.
265-pound limit and suspension hardware
Both the manual and Amazon safety notice set a 265-pound capacity. Treat that as the maximum total load on the seat, including the user, clothing, blankets, pets, bags, and anything else supported by the suspended assembly. The listing does not publish a dynamic-impact allowance, safety factor, test standard, or separate limit for the canopy or frame tubes.
The manual uses an eye bolt at the top curved bar, an S-hook, a carabiner, and a rope-woven seat connection. It says the lock nut on the eye bolt must be fully engaged past the blue mark, the carabiner must be closed and secure, and the rope must be pulled tight and tied with several firm knots. These are structural steps, not decorative details.
Do not stand on the chair, use it as a ladder, permit jumping, or attach a second seat or accessory to the suspension point. Stop using it if the eye bolt, hook, carabiner, rope, frame, weld, fastener, fabric, or connection is loose, bent, cracked, frayed, corroded, missing, or worn. The manual calls for factory replacement parts before use resumes.
Canopy, cushion, and material claims
The seller describes a removable 46-inch polyester canopy, water-resistant cushions, and weather-resistant polyester. It also calls the canopy UV-resistant. The checked page and manual do not publish a UPF value, UV test, waterproof rating, hydrostatic-head result, seam construction, fade test, foam density, fabric weight, or corrosion test. Treat those phrases as seller claims, not permission for indefinite exposure.
There is a fill inconsistency. The feature bullet calls the cushions 2-inch foam-filled, the general material list includes foam, and the product-information table separately says Fill Material: Polyester. The manual identifies one seat, one cushion, and one canopy but does not specify the textile or foam composition. Confirm the delivered labels if fill material, allergy information, drying behavior, or firmness matters.
The title says built-in pillow while the bullet calls the headrest removable, and the manual shows a cushion tied to the seat frame. Use the delivered manual and ties rather than assuming every soft part detaches the same way. The page does not state that any cover is removable or machine washable.
Outdoor care and storage boundaries
The only structured care direction is “wipe clean.” Remove loose debris with a soft dry tool, blot spills, and follow any label attached to the delivered fabric. Do not machine wash, bleach, steam, pressure wash, solvent-clean, or apply waterproofing or UV spray unless Best Choice Products confirms the method for SKY5871.
Water-resistant and weather-resistant do not mean waterproof, storm-rated, freeze-proof, or maintenance-free. Prolonged sun, standing water, trapped moisture, wind loading on the canopy, salt air, pool chemicals, freezing conditions, and abrasion can affect fabric, foam, rope, hardware, and powder coating. Dry the seat and cushion before covering or storage and do not let a cover trap moisture.
The listing does not publish a wind limit. Remove the canopy and store soft parts in a dry, sheltered place during strong wind, storms, prolonged rain, snow, or off-season conditions if the manual or current support guidance directs it. Do not use the chaise near an open flame or flammable or combustible chemicals; that warning appears in the manufacturer manual.
Assembly, inspection, and maintenance
The manual estimates up to 60 minutes for one-person assembly and supplies two wrenches and two Allen wrenches. Time estimates are not guarantees. The 74-pound product, tall curved tubes, suspended seat, rope weaving, and overhead connection may make a second capable adult useful even though the manual labels the task for one person.
Before assembly, verify SKY5871 on the carton and inventory the top, middle, and back curved pipes; two front legs; seat-frame tubes and crossbar; polyester seat; canopy and frame; cushion; rope; eye bolt; hook; carabiner; knobs; caps; bolts; and tools. Photograph shipping damage or missing pieces before modification. Preserve the carton because the return terms say replacement boxes are not supplied.
Follow the illustrated sequence. Start fasteners without cross-threading, confirm left and right seat tubes, fully engage the eye-bolt lock nut, pull the seat rope tight, tie secure knots, close the carabiner, attach the cushion ties, and tighten the completed frame. Do not drill new holes, substitute unknown hooks or rope, or modify the suspension.
The manual says to secure all bolts, screws, and knobs before use and recheck them every 90 days. That is a maximum scheduled interval, not a reason to ignore visible movement between checks. Inspect connections, rope, fabric, frame, canopy, and floor contact before each use, after moving the chair, and after severe weather.
Delivery and return logistics
Amazon publishes a 74-pound item weight but not the current carton dimensions or shipping weight in the visible specification panel. Measure doors, gates, stairs, elevators, patio access, and the turn into the final location. Plan enough help to control a bulky box without dragging it across flooring or striking walls.
Because Amazon flags the item as frequently returned, inspect before irreversible assembly. Check paint, tubes, welds, threaded inserts, eye bolt, hook, carabiner, rope, fabric, cushion, canopy, caps, and hardware quantities. Contact the current seller before improvising a repair or discarding packaging.
The manual’s return page says an authorization number may be required, the original packaging and accessories should be included, and customer-paid return shipping may apply unless the return results from a Best Choice Products error. Amazon’s current offer terms can differ, so use the terms attached to the actual order rather than relying on an older manual alone.
Who should consider or skip SKY5871
SKY5871 may suit a flat, stable outdoor area that can dedicate a 73-by-46-inch footprint plus side-entry and movement clearance to one adult lounge seat. It includes its own stand, canopy, seat, and cushion, so it does not require an overhead beam. Its 78-inch height and curved profile make it a visually dominant piece rather than compact patio seating.
Skip it if the route or space cannot handle the height and movement zone, if the only surface is soft or uneven, if the user needs rigid arms or adjustable recline, if the total load may exceed 265 pounds, or if cushions and canopy cannot be stored during severe weather. A conventional four-leg chaise may be easier to reposition and cover, while a hanging seat trades that simplicity for suspended movement.
Final assessment
Exact ASIN B08CS5BDZ7 still matches the reviewed Charcoal Gray, non-lighted Best Choice Products SKY5871. Its useful documented facts are the 73-by-46-by-78-inch outline, 74-pound item weight, 19-inch seat-height field, fixed position, 265-pound limit, steel stand, polyester components, removable canopy, suspension hardware, one-person 60-minute assembly estimate, and 90-day fastener recheck.
Its biggest cautions are the Frequently Returned Item flag, required side entry, movement clearance, ambiguous cushion fill, unquantified weather and UV claims, missing carton data, and a catalog “warranty” field that describes return terms instead of a clear warranty duration. If those boundaries work, recheck the exact SKY5871 offer on Amazon and verify model, seller, parts, manual, surface, return shipping, warranty, and current terms before ordering.
