Outdoor Chairs

The right chair depends on what happens around it. Some are pulled up to the table every night; others are there for a quiet afternoon outside or a drink at the bar.

Woodbury’s outdoor chairs cover dining, lounge and bar seating in teak, wicker and aluminium, with folding and stacking options where flexibility matters. Each outdoor chair is chosen with comfort, proportion and outdoor use in mind.

Start with how you want to use the chair

Start with the setting and the way the seat will be used.

Woodbury’s outdoor dining chairs are made to sit comfortably at table height, with enough room for people to pull their chairs out and move around the setting. Outdoor armchairs add more support and can work especially well at the ends of a rectangular table or around a generous round table.

If the space is more about relaxing than dining, outdoor lounges create a deeper, more comfortable place to sit on the deck, by the pool or in the garden.

For raised tables and counters, outdoor bar chairs keep the proportions right and make better use of higher entertaining areas.

Choose a material that works with the setting

The material changes how a chair feels beside a table and how much presence it has in the space. It also affects how easy the chair is to move and how the setting develops over time.

Teak

Teak has a warm grain and substantial feel that works naturally with timber tables and garden settings. It handles outdoor conditions with ease and develops more character as it ages. It is a good choice when you want the seating to feel solid and settled in the space.

Wicker

Wicker outdoor chairs add texture and can soften the look of a solid timber table. They are also a good way to introduce contrast without making the setting feel mismatched. The woven finish gives the chair a lighter visual feel while still sitting comfortably in a more traditional outdoor setting.

Aluminium

Aluminium has a lighter profile and is easy to move when the layout needs to change. It suits contemporary outdoor areas particularly well and can make a smaller setting feel less crowded. It is also practical for spaces where chairs are moved around often or stored between uses.

Mix chairs without making the setting look busy

Your chairs do not need to match the table exactly. What matters more is that the proportions, materials and scale work together.

A timber table can pair naturally with wicker or aluminium seating, especially when another detail connects the pieces. Armchairs can also sit at the ends of a rectangular table, with simpler dining chairs along the sides.

Check the seat height against the table first, then allow enough room behind each chair for people to sit down and move around comfortably.

Folding and stacking chairs are useful when extra seating is only needed occasionally. Bring them out for family lunches or larger gatherings, then store them away when the space returns to everyday use.

FAQs

Which chairs are best for small spaces or apartments?

Outdoor armchairs typically take up a lot of space and require more area clearance when getting in and out of a table, so stackable, folding chairs and side chairs (chairs without arms) are your best allies for small spaces. They store neatly when not in use and adapt to varying guest numbers or seasonal needs.

What’s the difference between a dining chair and a lounge chair?

Dining chairs are upright with firm support; perfect for meals and conversations. Lounge chairs are lower and offer deeper seats, reclined backs, and a relaxed posture, so they aren’t suitable for the height of a dining table. You can compare outdoor dining chairs and outdoor lounges according to how you use the space.

Can I leave my chair outside all year?

Yes, many of our weatherproof outdoor chairs are designed to stay outside year-round. Materials like teak and aluminium require minimal upkeep. However, seasonal care—such as a teak protectant and sealant, or using covers—can further extend their lifespan.

Do the chairs require cushions?

We offer a range of chair pads to suit our teak chairs, however most of our chairs either come with or don't require a chair cushion for optimal comfort—since they’re ergonomically contoured to be comfortable without the addition of a cushion.

What’s the benefit of rope, mesh, or sling seating?

Breathable and fast-drying, these materials are perfect for warm climates. They’re flexible, lightweight, and surprisingly supportive; ideal for poolside or sunny settings.

Are outdoor bar stools safe and stable?

Yes. Our outdoor bar chairs are designed with stability in mind — footrests, balanced proportions, and anti-slip materials prioritise both safety and comfort. They’re built to perform in high-traffic entertaining zones like outdoor kitchens and bar counters.

Can I buy chairs individually or only in sets?

Most chairs are available to purchase individually, in pairs, or as part of a coordinated setting. This makes it easy to mix and match with bar tables, benches, or lounge settings.

Are benches better for tight areas than individual chairs?

Often, yes. Benches provide shared seating while conserving space and visual clutter. They also create symmetry and cohesion that’s perfect for small courtyards, garden nooks, or when paired with rectangular dining tables.

Do your chairs match other collections?

Yes, many of our chair designs echo materials and finishes from our wider outdoor furniture collections.

Do chairs arrive assembled or flat-packed?

Many chairs arrive fully assembled, though some may require minor assembly. You’ll find clear details on each product page, and for those that need assembly, it’s a straightforward process with estimated completion in under 30 minutes. Shipping info is available on our website.

Is teak, wicker or aluminium better for outdoor chairs?

Each brings something different. Teak has natural warmth and weight, wicker adds texture, and aluminium has a lighter profile. The right choice comes down to the furniture already in the space and the look you want around it.

Can I mix outdoor chairs with a different table material?

Yes. A teak table does not need teak chairs beside it. Wicker or aluminium can create a pleasing contrast, provided the seat height and overall proportions work with the table.

Are outdoor chairs difficult to care for?

They do not need to be. Most outdoor seating can be kept looking good with occasional attention, and Woodbury’s outdoor furniture care accessories make those small jobs easier to manage.
