How to Choose Outdoor Chairs — Complete Buying Guide

Quick Buying Guide — Outdoor Chairs

• Style: Egg chairs are statement pieces best suited to covered patios. Adirondack chairs are classic and durable. Folding chairs are practical for flexible use.
• Weight capacity: Always check the maximum weight rating — hanging egg chairs in particular vary widely from 100kg to 200kg+.
• Hanging vs freestanding: Hanging egg chairs require a sturdy fixing point or a stand — check if the stand is included.
• Cushion quality: Outdoor cushions should be water-resistant or quick-dry. Check if covers are removable for washing.
• Assembly: Some chairs require significant assembly — check reviews for time estimates before buying.
