8 Reasons Why Deckchairs Are Better Than All Other Chairs

1. They look rad! 

Look at it! Is that not possibly the coolest looking piece of furniture you have ever seen?! I think it is. The possibilities are endless, you can have all sorts of patterns on the seat and it is almost infinitely customisable. You can paint it, draw on it, cover it in glitter and sequins. You can do whatever you want to it!

2. The most comfortable seat ever!

Sitting on one of these babies is like sitting on nothing! It's like levitating with a couple of bits of wood surrounding you! You can slouch or sit up straight. They're made out of canvas so they fit the contours of your body, it's like memory foam but without the self consciousness!

3. It's like a hammock but you sit on it!

Everyone raves about hammocks being a million times better than a bed, which it obviously is because it's a piece of material between bits of wood. Well that last description, is it just me or does it fully fit the description of a deckchair? I think you'll find it does, it's just that nobody has realised that they prefer deckchairs to regular chairs yet.

4. You can recline on it!

Can you honestly think of a better feature than being able to sit up straight or sit in a position that could arguably be called lying? I can't. You may argue that some armchairs and sofas do that, but do they have varying degrees of reclining? I don't think they do. Deckchairs have four. Suck it sofas.

5. They are proper cheap!

These things are LITERALLY cheaper than chips! All you need is either a late night trip to the beach or the ability to jump the fence into a local water park, for instance! Who needs to pay hundreds or thousands for a sofa when you could have a set of these for a fraction of the price?! Morons would.

6. Use them outside or inside!

You try taking your favourite armchair outside on a nice Summer's day and by the end of the day, it's been jumped and then set on fire by the local ASBOs. Could your sofa handle rain? Nobody likes a soggy sofa. You can shake that idiotic water off of one of these things! Pure, unadulterated genius! These beasts were DESIGNED for the outdoors!

 7. They're easy to store!

Oh no! I don't really have room! Oh wait, I have a deckchair, let me just fold that up and no we can play Twister until the break of dawn! I don't see you sofa and armchair banditos having that kind of freedom.

"Well I guess we can kind of fit the mat around them but we'll have to work around these things."

"But there isn't space for the red circles."

"Shut up, Sarah, I can fucking see there

                                       isn't space."

 8. You can put it wherever you want!

Hmmm, this barren wasteland I call my living room is growing ever so tiresome. I think I'd like to sit in the bathroom. Actually, on arrival, I would rather sit in my bed room. Try pulling your sofa into your bathroom. You can't? Well I didn't really expect you to try but point proven, I think. I could probably sit on my roof if I had any climbing skills. I don't, but if I did...
