This Sera Stick Back seat is a ceiling jhula built to hang directly from an overhead beam or hook, with no floor-standing posts involved. The seat and slatted backrest are cut from solid Sheesham wood and finished in a deep, glossy dark polish that shows off the wood's natural streaks. At 54 inches wide and 23 inches deep, it seats two adults comfortably, with a rounded bolster cushion included for lower-back support. The vertical stick-back panel provides support while keeping the design open rather than boxed in. Stainless steel chains and hooks ship with the seat, rated to carry up to 250 kg. Because each panel is hand-finished, slight variation in the carving pattern between pieces is normal and expected.

Key Features

Ceiling-Hung Design, No Floor Stand Needed

This is a pure hanging jhula seat: it mounts to a ceiling beam, hook, or overhead structure using the included chains, with no A-frame or base sitting on the floor. That makes it a practical choice for verandas, balconies, and covered patios where floor space is limited. It also suits homes that already have a swing hook installed and simply need a new seat to hang from it. With no stand underneath, the piece has a lighter, more open feel than a self-standing swing of the same size.

Solid Sheesham Wood with High-Gloss Dark Polish

The seat, backrest, and side panels are cut from solid Sheesham wood and finished in a rich, reflective dark polish. This gloss level is higher than a matte or satin finish and is chosen specifically to bring out the wood grain under both indoor and covered outdoor light. Sheesham is dense enough to hold up well against years of swinging motion without loosening. As a handcrafted item, expect small variation in the exact carving pattern from one piece to the next.

Stainless Steel Chains and Hooks Included

The seat ships complete with stainless steel chains and mounting hooks rated for a 250 kg load capacity, so there's no separate hardware to buy. Stainless steel resists rust better than painted steel, which matters for chains exposed to humidity on a balcony or veranda. The included hooks are sized to match the chain gauge for a secure, ready-to-install fit. You only need a strong overhead mounting point; the hanging hardware itself is already finished.

Seats Two with Bolster Cushion

At 54 inches wide with a 23-inch seat depth, the bench comfortably fits two adults in a relaxed, leaned-back position. A cylindrical bolster cushion is included for lower-back support, finished in a tone that complements the polished wood. The open slat back keeps air moving through the seat, useful for a piece used through warmer months. It works equally well as a quiet reading spot or a social seat for two.

Handcrafted Panel, Ready to Hang

Every stick-back panel is cut and finished by hand, so the exact carving pattern can vary slightly between individual pieces — a sign of genuine handmade wood furniture. Once mounted, the seat needs no further assembly beyond attaching the included chains to your ceiling point. It's a straightforward option if you want the classic look of a wooden ceiling jhula without a floor-standing frame taking up room. Because only the seat hangs from the ceiling, it's also easier to replace or upgrade later without touching any fixed structure.
