In practical testing, theKingCamp folding sun loungerperformed very well in all required test categories. The model already impressed with its high stability in the load test: both when lying down slowly and when sitting down quickly, the frame remained completely stable without twisting or making any creaking noises. The construction reliably withstood the load and conveyed a feeling of safety at all times. The tilt stability was equally impressive. Even with lateral weight shifts or deliberately uneven support, the lounger remained stable and did not slip away, which is particularly important when used outdoors on uneven surfaces. The backrest mechanism worked precisely and smoothly. All adjustments were easy to make, locked clearly into place, and remained stable in every position without any play or unwanted give.
The comfort of the lounger was also impressive: the tautly stretched lying surface provided even support without sagging and proved to be comfortable even during prolonged use. The material quality confirmed this impression, as neither the fabric nor the frame showed any signs of wear during the test. Overall, the sun lounger passed the practical testwithout any reservationsand presents itself as a reliable, stable, and comfortable piece of outdoor furniture.
