March 2022 - Wooden Frame Update - Please note that due to circumstances beyond our control, and in-line with other small companies like ourselves, we are experiencing ongoing difficulties in sourcing materials. To this effect we have to look for alternative suppliers for our wooden frames (deckchairs and stools). This may be mean, in some cases; the actual wooden frames may differ from the initial lifestyle pictures shown, where applicable, on a product. Please be assured that we will always try and source like-for-like in terms of the quality and sturdiness of the frame, but the colour may differ. This item, along with our deckchairs, is now are made of beech wood, resulting in a lighter to carry, but just as sturdy item. Should you have any concerns, please contact the team on 0208 801 5491 to discuss, before purchasing the item.

  • The deckchair slings are made from very hard wearing canvas polyester sail cloth, and printed using state-of-the-art technology. Hard wearing and durable in all weather conditions.
  • The frame is handmade in UK from birch wood oil soaked.
  • Our deckchairs have a cross-section of 22mm x 47mm providing far greater strength than most spindly, wobbly deckchairs.
  • Lovingly printed and assembled in the UK using FSC sustainably sourced beech hardwood
  • Free UK Delivery - FED EX - Overseas Customers please contact us prior to making a purchase.

      Entertaining, imformative, important and compassionate
      Format: Hardcover
      I bought this book thinking (1), it'll be easy to consume, (2) I'll learn something about Canadian culture, (3) it'll at some point shed a light on the environmental harms that oil drilling causes, and (4) there'll be a redeeming ending. I was right about (2) and (3). Easy to consume? Not as easy as I thought and whether or not the ending is redeeming, the author Beaton leaves to the reader to determine. It is autobiographical based on the author's experiences, and she does go on after her experiences to become a renowned author/cartoonist. However, one questions whether these experiences, that were part of her path to get there, justify the means, and there is no overarching message that wraps everything up neatly "in a bow". This book was even more important that I anticipated it to be and while it does speak to certain aspects of Canadian culture (mostly regional), the lessons can be applied beyond that context. My favorite aspects of the book were that it addressed difficult topics with humanity and compassion and even though this topics are intellectually and emotionally difficult, the medium is easier to consumer than perhaps other mediums. Highly recommend.

      Compelling - Beautifully done
      Format: Kindle
      I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading this. Ms Beaton has done an amazing job of storytelling. So thankful for the recommendation from John Warner - The “BibliOracle” of the Chicago Tribune. Several male members of my family worked in the Tar Sands projects over the last 30 years - mostly on Oil Exploration and the crew management side. But rumors about the rough environment were confirmed in this book. Reading this explains why one important family marriage failed from the “Wild West” behavior that took place there. As Ms Beaton acknowledged, this work provided important income for those who worked the Tar Sands projects. My family included. But the harm to the First Nations People and the environment are just terribly, horribly sad.

      A human story of how our society operates
      Format: Kindle
      There's a lot of terms you could use to describe the themes in this book. Capitalism, patriarchy, settler-colonialism, climate change but the book doesn't need to throw these terms around. It just shows them through the eyes of a person who experienced them. There's also a feeling of "there but by the grace of god go I" having been tempted by the possibility of oil work myself during the Great Recession. The story of how our drive for oil eats at our humanity is vital and helps show the cost of how we've structured our society at a personal level. At times funny, heartwarming, and tragic, a fantastically written and drawn work that I have to highly recommend!
