About EggChair.au

Our Story

EggChair.au was born from a simple frustration that many Australian homeowners know all too well. Back in 2019, our founder Sarah was searching for the perfect hanging egg chair for her Melbourne balcony. After weeks of scrolling through endless product listings, reading conflicting reviews, and struggling to compare specifications across different retailers, she realised there had to be a better way.

That frustration sparked an idea: what if there was a dedicated resource that cut through the noise and provided Australians with honest, comprehensive information about egg chairs? A place where you could compare different styles, understand the nuances between PE rattan and natural wicker, learn about proper weight capacity requirements, and discover which chairs actually stood up to Australia's harsh UV conditions.

Today, EggChair.au has grown into Australia's most trusted resource for egg chair information. Our small but dedicated team has personally tested over 50 different egg chairs, from budget-friendly options under $300 to premium designer pieces exceeding $2,000. We've installed hanging chairs on timber decks and concrete patios, tested swivel bases on hardwood floors and carpet, and subjected outdoor chairs to Queensland summers and Victorian winters.

What sets us apart is our commitment to genuine, hands-on testing. We don't just republish manufacturer specifications or aggregate reviews from other sites. Every chair we recommend has spent time in one of our team members' homes. We've sat in them for hours while reading, working from home, and enjoying a morning coffee. We've tested their cushions through afternoon naps and their frames through enthusiastic use by our kids and pets.

Our mission is simple: to help every Australian find an egg chair that perfectly suits their space, style, and budget. Whether you're looking for a cosy reading nook for your bedroom, a statement piece for your living room, or a relaxing retreat for your outdoor entertaining area, we're here to guide you through the decision-making process with honest advice and real-world insights.

We believe that finding the right furniture shouldn't require a degree in interior design or hours of research. That's why we've created comprehensive guides, interactive comparison tools, and a personalised quiz to help you find your perfect match in minutes, not days. And because we're a small, independent team of enthusiasts rather than a large corporation, we can provide the kind of genuine, unbiased advice that's becoming increasingly rare online.

Our Testing Process

Every egg chair featured on our site goes through a rigorous evaluation process. We assess comfort after extended sitting sessions, examining lumbar support, cushion resilience, and the overall ergonomic design of the shell. We test structural integrity by checking frame construction, weld quality on steel components, and the durability of rattan or wicker weaving. For outdoor chairs, we conduct UV resistance tests and evaluate how materials hold up against moisture, temperature fluctuations, and the occasional splash from the pool.

We also consider practical factors that other reviewers often overlook: How easy is assembly? Does the chair wobble on uneven surfaces? Are replacement cushions readily available in Australia? Can the hanging hardware support the advertised weight capacity with a reasonable safety margin? These are the details that matter when you're investing in a piece of furniture you'll use for years to come.

Our Commitment to You

We're committed to maintaining complete editorial independence. While we do earn commissions through affiliate partnerships with retailers like Amazon Australia, these relationships never influence our recommendations. We've recommended budget chairs over premium options when the value proposition made sense, and we've advised readers to wait for sales rather than purchasing immediately when we knew better deals were coming.

Thank you for trusting EggChair.au with your furniture decisions. If you have questions, suggestions, or just want to share photos of your new egg chair setup, we'd love to hear from you through our contact page.
