What Type of Outdoor Dining Chair Should I Buy?

With so many options, it can be hard to choose the best fit for your space. To make the decisions easier, start by narrowing your ideal chair down by its features. There are swivel chairs, bench seating, bar height stools and classic dining chairs. Try to imagine how you'll use the space on a day-to-day basis. For example, if you want to maximize seating at a large dining table, consider adding an outdoor bench that can seat two or three people at once. If you want to set up your space to exude a tropical cabana feel, you might want to consider an outdoor bar stool set with a bar height dining table. And to easily stay in the flow of conversation, a patio swivel chair is ideal.

What is the Best Material for Outdoor Dining Chairs?

Crafted with all-weather outdoor fabric that remains fresh no matter the weather and durable, rust-proof aluminum frames, you can count on our selection of outdoor dining chairs to stand up to the harsh elements time and time again.

How to Style Your Seating

What's a place to sit without a place to set down your drinks? Seating and tables go hand-in-hand, so don't forget to think about the big picture when choosing your favorite outdoor dining chairs. Do you plan to entertain often with large outdoor dinner parties? If so, you'll probably need six to eight chairs to fill up a large rectangular table. A bench in lieu of two chairs is another good option to consider setting around a large table. If you have a large outdoor space but only want to set up a space for two to four to enjoy, large roomy chairs might be a good fit. In smaller spaces, sleek backless bar stools draw the eye upwards, making your space look larger than it actually is. Plus, it leaves you room to add practical patio accessories, like an outdoor fire pit for chilly months.
