Outdoor Chairs

Outdoor Chairs for Sunny Days and Slow Weekends

Outdoor chairs in Australia have to handle harsh sun, salt air and sudden rain. Amart's range covers dining chairs, armchairs, bar stools and benches for your patio or balcony. Whether you call them outdoor chairs or garden chairs, we have a seat to suit.

We have kept Australians comfortable outdoors since 1970, with real value for money on every chair. They are part of our wider outdoor furniture range too. Pick one for sunny days and slow weekends, then settle in.

What types of outdoor chairs can you choose from?

Our outdoor chairs come in a few main types, from dining chairs and armchairs to bar stools and benches. Each one suits a different spot around your place.

Match the chair to the moment and the space you have:

• Outdoor dining chairs pull up to a table for everyday meals and weekend catch-ups.
• Outdoor armchairs and tub chairs offer a deeper, comfy seat, so an outdoor armchair works well for relaxing.
• Bar stools and bar chairs suit high tables and benchtops, and outdoor bar stools are great for casual entertaining.
• Outdoor benches seat two or more, so an outdoor bench helps in tight or shared spaces.
• Chair and footstool sets let you put your feet up and stretch out.

Which outdoor chair material is best for your space?

The best outdoor chair material depends on your space and the weather it faces. Weigh up looks, comfort and upkeep across our main options:

• Aluminium chairs resist rust and stay light, so this metal suits coastal spots and easy moving.
• PE wicker and rattan handle sun and rain well, with a woven, relaxed look.
• Rope chairs offer a modern, breathable seat that copes with warm Australian days.
• Timber and solid wood add natural warmth, though the wood needs a light oil now and then.
• Textilene sling seats dry fast and wipe clean, which is handy after a downpour.

Whatever you pick, our Quality Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship.

What outdoor chairs work best in Australian weather?

The best outdoor chairs for Australian weather are weather-resistant and matched to your local conditions. Our range copes with everything from the tropics to the snow.

Let your local weather steer the pick:

• Coastal and salt air – Aluminium and rope chairs can be a good option for resisting rust and salt spray near the water.
• High UV and sun – UV-resistant wicker and sling seats are designed to help hold their colour through long summers.
• Rain and humidity – Quick-drying sling and sealed timber tend to cope better with wet, sticky days.
• Small spaces and balconies – Slimline, lightweight chairs are often easy to move and a good fit for tight areas.

How do you clean and care for outdoor chairs?

Most outdoor chairs clean up with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Wipe down aluminium and sling frames, rinse dust from wicker and rope, then dry everything off.

Give timber a light oil now and then, and treat any rust on metal early. A quick wipe every few weeks keeps your chairs looking fresh through the seasons. Store cushions somewhere dry between uses, and our SmartCare Plan covers accidental damage for five years.

How can you make outdoor chairs more comfortable?

Comfort comes down to good cushions and a seat shaped for the way you sit. A few small changes make a big difference outdoors.

Layer in a few comforts to suit your setup:

• Outdoor cushions add instant softness. Polyester covers resist fading and are easy to clean after a spill.
• A deeper seat helps you relax. Look for generous proportions and a supportive back for lounging.
• Colour sets the mood. White feels fresh and airy, while black hides marks and looks modern.
• Footstools take it up a notch. Put your feet up for slow afternoons and lazy weekends.

Set the scene for meals with our outdoor dining tables and outdoor dining sets, ready for long lunches and barbecues. Then finish the area with pergolas for shade and outdoor lighting for warm evenings. Add fire pits for cooler nights and outdoor rugs to tie it all together.
