he best garden chairs need to be comfortable and good-looking and weather-proof. Whether your garden features solitary corners made for relaxing with a book or a pocket-sized patio area perfect for enjoying a glass of wine, our selection of the top outdoor chairs will provide you with plenty of inspiration so you can enjoy the best of the British summer.
When it comes to deciding on the best outdoor chairs for your garden, make sure you consider the material and maintenance requirements of your choice. Rattan pieces such as the House by John Lewis Salsa Garden Chair can stay outside all year round but hanging chairs, sun loungers and metal furniture may need to come inside once autumn comes round.
You should also watch out for whether you’re paying for one chair or two; not all outdoor chairs come in pairs and you don’t want to end up paying over the odds for a full set. Finally, what style of chair do you want? After reading, why not check out our guide to choosing garden furniture? And visit our sourcebook of top garden suppliers for all your garden shopping needs.
