How much weight can this jhoola take?
It can bear up to 100 kg, which is why it is made for adults. The jhoola itself weighs about 6.2 kg with packing, so plan the overhead fixing for the jhoola and the person sitting in it together.
What are its sizes?
The jhoola is 5.5 feet long and has a 27-inch metal ring. It is knotted in off-white cotton, with a round seat of dense net knots and a deep fringe skirt below.
What does it look like when hung?
It is a round hanging chair with a seat of dense net knots and a deep fringe skirt below. The fringe sways when you swing, and the off-white cord gives a soft, airy look in a room.
How do I hang it safely?
Secure it to a strong overhead support such as a ceiling beam or a swing stand, with fixing hardware that suits your ceiling and the 100 kg rating. Get the fixing done properly before anyone sits in it.
Where in my home does it suit?
A living room corner, a reading nook, a balcony or a terrace sit-out. It is meant for indoor or outdoor spaces, and turns any corner into a place to sit back with a book or a cup of chai.
Who makes it?
It is hand-knotted at the IndieHaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra, under master artisan Brijbala. Minor irregularities are part of handmade work, and colour hues may look slightly different on screen.
