Frequently Asked Outdoor Dining Chair Questions

Be our guest and take a seat. At Ashley, we have a wide selection of outdoor dining chairs to make your outdoor space the comfortably cozy haven you've always envisioned. Need a comfy nook for your early morning coffee? An outdoor armchair with cushions might just suit you. Need lots of seating for a large outdoor dining table? We've got you covered. No matter how you utilize your patio, porch or backyard deck, comfortable outdoor seating options are absolutely essential. That's why we've taken the difficulty out of shopping for outdoor furniture with our variety of styles, durable craftsmanship and affordable prices you can't find anywhere else.

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. Our wicker dining chairs are made with practical, moisture-resistant resin wicker—so you don't have to worry about mold or mildew. Solid wood dining chairs crafted from sustainable teak and other materials add a natural element that is sure to please. And our classic cast-aluminum chairs will stand the test of time as well.

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.

Best types of outdoor dining chairs for patios and decks

Metal and resin wicker chairs offer the best durability for outdoor dining. Ashley Furniture's weather-resistant collections include powder-coated aluminum frames that won't rust and all-weather wicker that handles sun and rain.

Top Chair Types

  • Aluminum Dining Chairs - Lightweight, rust-proof, and easy to move around
  • All Weather Wicker - Classic look with UV-resistant synthetic materials
  • Sling Chairs - Quick-drying fabric that's comfortable in hot weather
  • Folding Options - Space-saving designs from Ashley's outdoor collections

Best ways to choose outdoor dining chairs that match my table

Focus on unifying elements like material, color, and style to create a cohesive outdoor dining space. For contrast, use a single unifying thread like a shared finish or accent color while playing with shapes. Ashley's outdoor furniture collections make this easy by offering coordinated sets and individual pieces that share common materials like all-weather wicker, powder-coated aluminum, and weather-resistant fabrics, so you can mix and match while maintaining visual harmony.

Matching Guidelines
  • Measure seat height carefully - Standard dining chairs sit at 18 inches, counter height at 24 inches, and bar height at 30 inches, with 10-12 inches of clearance between seat and tabletop
  • Check width compatibility - Allow 6 inches between chairs and 24-26 inches of table width per person for comfortable elbow room
  • Coordinate materials thoughtfully - Ashley's resin wicker pairs naturally with wood-look tables, while powder-coated aluminum complements metal or glass surfaces
  • Consider arm clearance - Armchairs need to slide fully under the table apron without catching, typically requiring 7-8 inches of vertical space

Style Coordination

  • Mix textures with intention - Metal chairs can balance rustic wood tables by echoing hardware finishes or leg styles
  • Stick to similar finish families - Black powder-coated frames work with dark tables, while bronze tones complement warmer wood finishes
  • Use color as purposeful accent - Ashley's cushioned chairs let you introduce pops of color through weather-resistant fabrics without overwhelming the space

Wicker outdoor dining chairs vs metal patio chairs

Metal patio chairs offer superior durability and weather resistance, while wicker provides a softer, more traditional look with comfortable contouring. Ashley's collections include powder-coated metal frames that resist rust and all-weather resin wicker that won't crack or fade, so your choice depends on whether you prioritize low maintenance or classic aesthetic appeal.

Metal Chair Advantages

  • Rust resistance - Ashley's powder-coated aluminum and iron frames withstand rain and humidity without corrosion
  • Stackable designs - Metal dining chairs like the Nuu Garden collection stack for easy storage
  • Weight capacity - Metal frames typically support 250+ lbs with reinforced construction
  • Modern aesthetic - Clean lines and slim profiles fit contemporary patio designs

Wicker Chair Benefits

  • Comfortable seating - All-weather resin wicker contours to your body better than flat metal
  • Traditional style - Ashley's handwoven wicker chairs like the Maroska and Amaris collections create classic outdoor elegance
  • Temperature control - Wicker stays cooler in summer heat compared to metal surfaces
  • Textured appearance - Adds visual interest and softness to outdoor dining spaces

Best methods to protect outdoor furniture from sun damage

Use UV-resistant covers when furniture isn't in use and position pieces in shaded areas to prevent fading and material breakdown. Ashley's outdoor collections feature built-in UV protection through solution-dyed fabrics like Nuvella® and powder-coated finishes that resist sun damage, but adding extra protection extends their lifespan even further.

Coverage and Shade

  • Patio furniture covers - Invest in breathable, UV-blocking patio furniture covers that fit Ashley's sectionals, dining sets, and lounge chairs when not in use
  • Patio umbrellas - Create permanent shade structures over your outdoor dining areas and seating zones
  • Rotate furniture placement - Move pieces periodically so sun exposure distributes evenly across all surfaces
  • Retractable awnings - Install adjustable shade solutions that protect furniture during peak sun hours

Material-Specific Protection

  • Cushion storage - Remove cushions from Ashley's outdoor furniture during extended periods of non-use and store in a dry, shaded location
  • Apply UV protectant spray - Use fabric and material protectants every 2-3 months on exposed surfaces
  • Clean regularly - Dirt and debris trap heat and accelerate UV degradation on powder-coated frames and wicker
  • Inspect protective finishes - Check Ashley's powder-coated aluminum and resin wicker annually for wear spots

Best materials for outdoor dining chairs that last

Powder-coated aluminum, all-weather resin wicker, and hardwoods like teak provide the longest lifespan for outdoor dining chairs because they resist rust, fading, and weather damage. Ashley furniture use rust-resistant aluminum frames with durable powder-coated finishes, while their Jonathan Y Gable collection features acacia and eucalyptus hardwoods that withstand years of sun, rain, and temperature changes without deteriorating.

Top Durable Materials

  • All-weather resin wicker - Synthetic wicker over metal frames combines classic aesthetics with UV resistance and won't crack, split, or fade like natural materials
  • Teak and eucalyptus wood - Natural hardwoods contain oils that repel water and resist rot, maintaining structural integrity for 15+ years with minimal maintenance
  • Heavy-duty iron with coating - Powder-coated iron frames on Nuu Garden dining chairs offer exceptional weight capacity and stability for 10+ years of use
  • Stainless steel hardware - Ashley uses rust-resistant fasteners across all outdoor collections to prevent hardware failure and structural weakness

Weather-Resistant Features:

  • UV-inhibited finishes - Powder coating includes UV stabilizers that prevent chalking and color degradation from sun exposure
  • Natural wood oils - Teak, eucalyptus, and acacia naturally resist moisture, insects, and decay without chemical treatment
  • Temperature tolerance - Quality metals and dense hardwoods maintain structural integrity through freeze-thaw cycles and extreme heat
