Choosing outdoor swivel chairs for a patio or deck
Outdoor swivel chairs turn on a rotating base, so start with how you will use them: dining, lounging or sitting at a bar-height counter. Some are sold as a set of 2, and some come with cushions included.
Look at the frame material, the seat and whether the back reclines, then check the measurements against your space.
Outdoor swivel rocker chairs and glider styles
Some outdoor swivel rocker chairs add a gentle rocking or gliding motion to the turning seat. Glider and rocking designs are listed alongside the plain swivel chairs, so you can compare them by size and cushion style.
A glider moves back and forth on a fixed frame, so allow a little extra floor space behind it.
Outdoor wicker swivel chairs and other materials
Outdoor wicker swivel chairs use resin wicker, a synthetic weave made for outdoor use, over a steel or aluminum frame. Some designs use metal mesh, HDPE or solid acacia, and most pieces include metal and fabric.
Colors run from black and brown to gray, blue, beige and yellow.
Outdoor swivel bar chairs and bar-height seating
Select outdoor swivel bar chairs sit taller for counters and bar tables, with overall heights up to 48.8 inches. Pair them with a counter-height or bar-height table, and compare the chair height with the table you own before you order.
Aluminum and HDPE bar chairs are on the page, and the swivel seat makes it easy to turn toward guests on either side.
Outdoor swivel patio chairs sizes and fit
Outdoor swivel patio chairs measure 18.8 to 46.5 inches wide and 17.1 to 37.5 inches deep. Papasan styles are among the widest, and suit a corner of a deck rather than a dining table.
Leave a foot or two of clearance around each chair so it can turn fully without hitting a table or railing, and cover chairs or store cushions in wet or snowy weather.
