Wise 8WD707P-1-660 Deluxe Lounge Seat (Grey/Navy)

I purchased these Wise boat seats to replace seats in my aging tri-hull boat. I am very impressed with the quality. The vinyl is heavy duty, the stitching is strong and well done. I like the plastic pedestals that replace my old plywood lined pedestals. They are just the right height, etc.I noticed that several people complained about how difficult they were to assemble. I disagree entirely. They were really a snap to assemble. They were made in China and the instructions were printed in China. The assembly drawings are in accurate, but it only took a few minutes longer (about 15 minutes) to assemble the first one. The second was assembled and fully installed in about 7 minutes.I should also note that they were purchased on Amazon Prime. The shipping was free, but not the normal 2-day shipping. The size required them to ship UPS Ground. The nice thing though is Amazon sent me updates and notifications and they arrived about a week earlier than originally predicted.Bottom line; they look great, excellent quality, easy assembly and fast shipping. Perfect!

Sometimes plastic is better, I finally broke down and replaced my old wooden framed seats I tried to get another year or two out of. I am totally happy with the purchase of the grey blue seat so much that I just purchased another for my bigger Lake Ontario boat and the matching high back for my smaller local 14 footer. Very good product for the money and the plastic frame are great for marine use that are always going to be wet from weather or wash down. And the grey blue combo is very sharp and attractive and so far we haven't had much rain but water does not penetrate inside of seat.Very easy assembly and a totally happy customer of Wise boat seats.

Seats went together easy and are very comfortable used four two inch lag screws and washers to secure to my boat pulls out to a lounge chair very easily enough room to store my anchor or other small items underneath great seats for the price and the color is great as well between putting the together and fastening them about am hour and I'm not particularly handy

I needed to replace the seats in a 1979 Glassmaster Runabout and didn't want to spend $6-800.00. So far so good. I like the fact that nothing other than the upholstery will be effected by the elements (no wood). These are lower end seats but I'm impressed so far with the construction. With some care and maintenance they should last for 5 - 10 years if not longer.

Looks nice but there is no quality here

Overall, for the Price very good seats. The bases are made out of plastic which is a plus no more rotting wood. And the seats themselves are composite plastic. After I put them together and sat down very comfortable. I'm in the middle of rebuilding my entire interior so I don't know how they feel on the water yet with the ride. But overall I'm pleased

Was delivered timely. The plastic bottom is not as sturdy as a wood box. The storage underneath is good. The support brackets aren’t very supportive . I did add support to the bottom area to make sure it is attached to the boat deck solid. The fold down leg and the two support bars need to have a clasp that keeps them attached to the bottom of the seats so when it’s in the seated position they aren’t in the way of storage area. The seat needs more support overall. Yet to see how they hold up over use. It is also difficult to attach to the deck!

They do lay flat, you can store stuff under them, they are short and while sitting you would sit below the top of the wind shield which is great on a cold day and makes sence why they are built the way they are built as are most similar seats. You will need some sort of foam or rubber to put around the bar that folds down onto your floor so that when laid down the aluminum does not rub on your floor which would be fine if I had carpet and not all fiberglass/topcoat. The reason I'm writing the review is because a screw came out. The one that holds the aluminum framing to the bottom of the seat, directly the support that holds the seat into the box. A few more supports/piece of wood or metal could work as well; this happened the first day out. It is a very wide and coarse screw, but the plastic seems soft bc there was plastic around the threads of the crew when we found it. That means I have to put in at least 1/4"-thread lag bolt or something to hold it until it strips out. The next choice is to plastic weld more plastic in, get some sort of anchor like with Sheetrock/cement, or get sheet aluminum or stainless steel and attach it to the bottom of the seat so that there is something sturdy to bolt things to. The framing is good, the box is sturdy and you could always build your own wooden box inside the plastic one to make it more stable. You could also just build a wooden box to lift seats up or make the box longer so that the seats recline more when in the up position. Mold has grown on the top of the material even though the material sits out in the Florida sun all day, this means that it's not mold resistant at all and will be bad in no time. The mold was a big surprise to me considering this was not a problem with the captains chairs I originally had in the boat that sat in the sun as well. I'm going to have covers made like the tailor made seat covers, but with two floatation throw cushions sewn in so that the seat sits up higher. We all drive around using two float throws now on the seat. The seat is not very comfortable in that it sits very upright. I would get a better brand and style if I could do it over again. The price is not really worth all of this.
