Treat yourself to a time-out in a hanging chair. Here's a roundup of our rattan-inspired favorites (with a few fabric options for hammock lovers).
Take note that natural rattan is best in a dry location, perfect for hanging on a covered porch or indoors (bring that summer swing feeling inside) from a ceiling beam. Want to hang a chair from a branch in the garden? Synthetic rattan to the rescue. Several of our selections are made with weather-resistant synthetic fibers.
