My wife got one of those hanging egg chairs too, she uses it a lot but it's really tippy so have to have a bunch of sand bags on the base which makes it impossible to move around to avoid the direct sun.
So will be looking for something similar but with actual legs that can stand by itself.
Fortunately it was just a cheap one.
But agree with the outdoor furniture. We got one of those large square patio umbrellas which was great in a dead calm, but the way the neighbourhood is the wind really funnels past our back deck so it always felt super sketchy as it battled the wind. We used it maybe twice before replacing it with a build in pergolino (like a pergola and an awning had a baby).
My #1 thing these days for non-trivial purchases if I have any kind of doubt if I'll love it.. I get a cheap one off Facebook or Amazon or whatever. If I really use it a lot for a few years then I'll consider replacing it with something expensive.
Even the deck table and chairs we got was a really nice rattan set that I found for an awesome price but we didn't use it much and it takes up so much space... If I'd paid full price for it I'd really regret it, where I could probably put it on Facebook for what I paid for it easily and get something else.
