Shopping for Outdoor Dining Chairs |
Outdoor dining chairs have a hard job. They are expected to be comfortable and good looking, but they are also supposed to be easy to maintain, no matter what the weather brings.
“Maintenance is probably the biggest consideration,” said Charles de Lisle, an interior and product designer in Sausalito, Calif., who frequently creates outdoor dining spaces for his clients. “I like outdoor chairs that are hose-able and bulletproof.”
The trick, he noted, is balancing that durability with a pleasing tactile feel: “We often use teak or redwood because it’s a lot softer and warmer to sit on than metal.”
Cushions can help, but Mr. De Lisle recommends avoiding them if you live in the city. “They just get super dirty,” he said.
