Update your patio now, enjoy the sun when it comes. Vintage Garden Furniture
Is there anything else than sitting in your beautiful outdoor space catching some sunshine? Sitting in your own private—or at the very least, shared—outdoor space will always beat doing it at a public park, but there are some things you can do to make it better. Namely, you can buy some good outdoor lounge chairs. Relaxing al fresco is one of our favorite pastimes, here at Esquire. Whether you're reading a new best seller, tanning, or just taking a nap, a great outdoor lounge chair will make or break the experience.
It's an outdoor furniture essential, the lounge chair. If you buy one thing for existing outside, make it a chair. Outdoor sofas, fire pits, outdoor sectionals, and every other piece of outdoor furniture should be second to the lounge chair. If it's just you, an outdoor lounge chair is honestly all you need to have a good time. Whether it's a little accent chair or a full on poolside chaise, an outdoor lounge chair is the perfect spot to hang. As such, we searched far and wide for the best options on the market. We put those most popular options to the test, and we came up with this list of seven absolute winners. These are the best outdoor lounge chairs on the market. Buy them now, get them set up for the first days of warm weather, and live on them until the cold comes back around.
Easy to clean metal at an easy to move size with a well designed low-back lounged seating position. In a word: perfect (especially for when you don't have enough space for a full chaise or just want something slightly more upright.)
The Palissade Cushion, pictured here, adds some extra comfort if you plan to be using the chair for hours on end, but it is sold separate.
Sundays makes some of the best furniture on the market, full stop. But, the brand really shines in the outdoor category, where great-looking designs are a little harder to come by. The Endless Summer chair is a classic mid-century shape, but it gets done up in weather resistant teak and waterproof webbing.
The most genius part of the chair, however, is pairing the black webbing with the teak. With time in the sun, teak wood patinas into a silvery, grey color. When paired with certain colors and looks, it's less than ideal. But, when paired with a no nonsense black webbing, it looks just as good on day one as it does after three years of sun fading.
Yardbird specializes in outdoor furniture and this adjustable chaise shows that expertise. The teak wood is moisture-resistant and the cushions are made with Sunbrella fabric, which blocks damage from harsh sunlight.
Plus, we really, really love the navy option. That white piping gives perfect beach club vibes.
For an outdoor upgrade pick, West Elm has a whole bunch of beautiful patio sets. The Huron line is modern and cool but not overpowering in its style. It's simple enough to go with just about any home style.
When in doubt, you can't go wrong with all white. Especially when it comes to warm weather and the outdoors, a clean white chair looks and feels airy and inviting. We'd get a few sets of these, pending the space to use them.
This Safavieh lounge chair goes hard on the lounge. There's the easy-to-adjust angle for your sitting position and on a cushy top. But also, a built-in side table for placing your book, phone, and beverage of choice.
You can't go wrong with wicker and beige cushioning for outfitting any outdoor space. This set of two chairs is easy, comfy, and something you can build out as the season goes on.
