What is the price of a true Acapulco Chair ?

Why such a difference between the Acapulco Chair price?

In this article, I will gave you a complet benchmarking of the Acapulco Chair offer you can find on the market.

The Acapulco chair legend I explained you may be true, I cant say. But for sure, this dont help you to buy the good one.

what can you expect when you buy a cheap Acapulco Chair ?

Low Cost Acapulco Chair

you can find really ship acapulco chair from 30€ but you know what to expect from them : no confort, low durability.
Voga probablyofffer the cheapest acapulco chair on the market. But there is no doubt, all the acapulco chair you can find with the price range 30€ to 80€ are coming from the same place. With all the cheap models that Voga import from China they manage to have competitive transport cost and that why they offer the best price.

Those product are easy to recognize, the plastic rope density is really important, and you can observe a flat part into the lower part of the curve. Sklum are doing exactly the same product and we can even wonder if it's not the producer who made the product photo as the orientation of the product are the same. Interessant thing is that both of them are having a crossed out price.

The advantage of this product is that you will be invited to change your chairs within less than a year. the tube is weak and the fixing system with cheap screw used make it even brittle. The rope is without uv protection so it will be quickly burn by the sun and start to be harsh.

The disadvantage is the small size dont integrate your head within the chair. Your neck will thump the backside of the chair. This confort sensation is not what we can expect from a good quality Acapulco chair with original size and shape.
Second thing regarding the difference between an orginal Acapulco chair is the flexibility of the rope. The raw material use has no elasticity and it's like washing line. The result is the lack of confort on the seating part and also on the back.

Fair price for a Original Acapulco chair!

True Acapulco Chair

According to material price and the know how needed to made a high quality Acapulco chair, 300€ is the minimum price you can expect when you want to buy one. You wont see huge discount on it, the most will be a 10% if there is small scratch or if it's sold due to the of color collection ending. There are not many company who are having this kind of level, you can found INNIT in US, BOQA in Europe who produced is model in house with really high end quality product.

In Latin America you will met many of those product and it will be really difficult to check the quality. The best way is to find a manufacturer and to check what are the process of painting (powder coating? liquid painting?), what kind of material is used (tube or plain metal?). Dont hesitate to ask if you can see the workshop. Usually honest manufacturer has no fear to show there production process.

In the next post, I will present you the midlle price Acapulco chair.

What is the True Acapulco Chair

The legend of the Acapulco Chair:

Even if the legend say that Acapulco chair was born in the 50s. Designed by a european tourist who was getting inspired by the traditionnal Hamacs ; within the city of Acapulco. We have to be honest. There is no evidence of this and even after having a huge research on it, we cannot find any picture and or official document that can attest of it.

Anyhow, there is many different quality of this product and since 5 years now there is qulity level from low cost version at 30£ quality to a high quality product at above 300£. The question is for an inexperienced buyer, how it's possible to recognize a high quality product from an low cost Acapulco chair.

I will made few articles to describe the different level and to recognize the level of finition, to check few dimention you can easily notice to know what kind of product you have. Some you will find when you buy physical product and some when you really want to buy online.

The Acapulco King! the king of the Classical Acapulco Chair!

If the Acapulco chair and until today the most successful design armchairs scoubidou the king Acapulco just give him a little shade . A skirt which give it a feminine touch !

The king Acapulco, Acapulco is a chair dressed in a skirt that gives elegance and presence . The round base provides good stability . version differs slightly from the original version of the Acapulco chair BOQA .

Scoubidou the base , will be more easily chosen the same as the seat color, but color schemes can be made interesting between the two with triangular and trapezoidal shapes that gave little . So here is what makes little more of the original Acapulco chair  BOQA .

Need to pad underfoot since it is the whole area of the circle of plastic rod which is in contact with the ground. This avoids marks on the terraces and on the court while allowing use on gardens soil .

And if BOQA has not yet decided to publish this version of Acapulco chair you can contact me so that I will edit one more just for You !
