is this constructed so it can be used without a cushion? some chairs are of course more comfy with a cushion but can be used without. Others OBVIOUSLY are for use only with a cushion

No.You do need a cushion for this chair.We have these on our deck,and I tried to sit in this chair w/o a cushion,and it is cold and hard.Not pleasant.The cushion that comes, with this chair, is wonderful,but if you already have a cushion,I would suggest that you use it.This is very durable aluminum,and it is strong.

I would find it pretty uncomfortable without a cushion. Very unforgiving metal, and without the cushion the seat would be kind of low, arms would be uncomfortably high.

The cushion definitely makes the chair more comfortable. It is best with the cushion.

The cushion is part the seat, not an attachment, so no. Without the seat you have no chair!

I have never used it without a cushion, so I can't say how hot it might be without one. Kettler makes cushions, but they are expensive. I got mine at L.L. Bean. It's a little too long, but it's fine. They are usually on sale in August/September.

Hi, i bought it to go along with the club chairs and it is actually thicker than the chair cushion. Not much but it does make a little difference. Also, the ottoman cushion is a perfect square so we were not able to use it as the seat cushion. We did keep the ottomans though. Exact color and makes great additional seating.

You could leave the chair arms off if you wish. For me it would not be as comfortable. I like having a place to rest my own arms. I don't see where the arms are related to the overall structure of the chair.

It probably wouldn't fit as securely as a chair with no cushions, but with a strap to go around the chair back and another to go around the chair seat itself, you can probably get it tight enough to use it safely.

The same size cushion as you would use on a dining chair would work, but I have also set these out in inclement weather with no cushion at all, and they are not bad that way. Recently we had 60 MPH winds that took down our fence & blew our chairs across the yard. Picked them back up, wondering if they were still usable, and apart from being a bit damp and dirty, they were fine.

Possible, but not really comfortably. I have sat on it w/o a cushion but only for very short periods.

It doesn't come with the toddler cushion, but I've found they don't need it. I have 2 chairs - got one for my 8 month old and 2.5 year old. It's been great.

Had it for a month now, sat on in with cushion as well as without. I weigh 185 lbs. No indication of stretching. Think it will not happen if you use cushion. Time will tell. The fabric seems much stronger than the typical fabric used in relatively cheap beach chairs of foldable chairs, etc.

No. The only thing you might want to know is that the cushion is not attached to the ottoman. I thought you might want to know since there are children involved. The cushion can be attached with velcro if you desire. Enjoy.

These chairs came with cushions when ordered last year. We have not yet needed to replace the cushions. That would be a question for the manufacturer.

Yes, I think that you could. The seat is pretty wide and comfortable without a cushion actually.

The short answer is... I don't have cushions for the chairs. I bought two different sizes, neither worked. I may end up making cushions or do without. The chairs look and feel fine without them.

I don't use them. Serves no purpose. It still feels good to sit the patio chair without the back cushion.

No assembly required and no, the cushions don't seem to be removable (no zippers or anything that I can see). Very comfy chair. Folds relatively flat.

I use a chair cushion because I needed just a bit more height for use at my sewing table. It also helps with that "reclining" issue.
