Innit Acapulco Chair Reviews and Info

Updated: January 30, 2019 Eric Clark

Acapulco Chairs are classic mid-Century indoor/outdoor lounge chairs with loads of style and panache. Created in Acapulco, Mexico, in the 1950s by an unknown designer, these chairs became icons of Acapulco in the 1950s, when it was one of the most popular destinations in the world for Hollywood celebrities and Washington DC politicians. It is now very difficult to find original Acapulco chairs, but several furniture makers have stepped in to provide replicas. One of the best replicas is the Innit Acapulco Chair line, by Innit Designs. These chairs are typically more expensive than some of the cheaper competition but are a step up in quality, functionality, and style.

Ames Reel Easy Hose Reel Caddy Review and Information

Updated: August 14, 2018 Eric Clark

The Ames Reel Easy Hose Reel Caddy is a middle of the road garden hose cart at a decent price. The Ames Reel Easy functions as a portable garden hose reel, but there are several flaws in the design that make us hesitant to recommend it, given its price point and its features list. In this article we will look closely at the Ames Reel Easy garden hose reel, and examine the advantages and disadvantages of this water hose cart.

Perhaps the biggest selling point the Ames Reel Easy has is its two year warranty. If a portion of the Reel Easy breaks, Ames will send a replacement. That’s a big help, but given the issues many users have had with the Reel Easy, most consumers would be wiser to pick up another reel such as a self winding hose reel that works a little better.
