Egg Chairs

Hanging egg chair with stand

A hanging egg chair with stand needs no ceiling or beam, so you can place it anywhere on a level patio. Most chairs on this page come with a stand.

Check the footprint of the stand before you buy, since it needs room to swing without hitting a wall or railing. Set the stand on level, firm ground, such as pavers or a deck, so the chair stays steady.

Wicker egg chair materials

A wicker egg chair here is usually resin wicker, a synthetic weave made for outdoor use, over a metal frame. Frames are steel, iron or aluminum depending on the model, and some designs add HDPE.

Resin wicker is a weather-resistant weave, but a cover and dry storage in winter will keep it looking good longer. Wipe the weave with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and pollen, and check the frame for scratches that may let rust start.

Egg chair cushion and seat comfort

An egg chair cushion makes the seat softer, and most chairs on this page include cushions with fabric covers. Colors run from beige and gray to black and blue.

Spot-clean cushions with mild soap and water, and bring them in when rain is expected. A deep, padded seat makes the chair comfortable for reading or relaxing for a long time.

Outdoor egg chair styles

An outdoor egg chair can be a plain hanging seat or a feature-rich model. Some fold for storage, and select models rock or swivel.

Choose a style by how you plan to use it, from a quiet reading nook to a spot for two.

Double egg chair and 2-person sizes

A double egg chair seats two, and select 2-person designs are on this page, where widths run 30.5 to 76.5 inches. They need more room to swing, so allow extra clearance on each side. Check the listed measurements for each model, because sizes vary with the stand and the shape of the basket. Pick a double only if you have a wide, open stretch of patio.
