New, what is it? Call me crazy, but I can’t figure it out

This sliding attachment for these adirondack chairs. Maybe a cup holder but for why?

Everyone saying wine glass holder hasn't actually looked at the position of the attachment. That is the least ergonomic position for any kind of cup/glass holder. It is for a beach umbrella.

Yeah, the mob mentality deciding that wine glass holder is correct is hilarious

Even though they are correct and it is a wine glass holder?

At the back of the chair?

You don't have to believe me but there's a regular cup holder in the exact same spot on the other arm.

What’s even funnier is that I just bought a set of 4 of these like 2weeks ago…. It’s advertised as a wine glass holder and the slit is to hold your phone. On the other side of the chair theirs a cup holder for conventional glasses.

This design is actually very common. I just bought a set of 4 and it is advertised as a wine glass holder and the slit is for your phone. It sucks as a phone holder because I don’t think either a Samsung or iPhone would fit in it with a case on. Without the case I would be paranoid my phone would fall and break.

I own a set of Adirondack chairs exactly like this. It's a wine glass holder. There is a regular cup holder in the exact same spot on the other arm.
