Choosing Outdoor Dining Chairs
Start with the relationship between the chair and your outdoor dining table. Consider seat height, chair width and the amount of space available around the table, particularly when several chairs need to sit comfortably side by side. The overall proportions of the chair can also influence how open or substantial the dining setting feels. If you prefer a chair with arms, explore our Outdoor Armchairs. For lower seating designed around lounging rather than dining, discover Outdoor Lounge Chairs.
Stackable Outdoor Dining Chairs
Stackable chairs can be particularly useful where outdoor seating needs to adapt to different occasions. Additional chairs can be brought to the table when needed and stored more efficiently when they are not in use, making them a practical option for courtyards, balconies and outdoor entertaining spaces. Huset’s collection includes stackable outdoor chairs in a range of materials and forms, from lightweight aluminium seating to woven and moulded designs. Check the individual product specifications to confirm whether a particular chair is stackable.
Aluminium, Timber and Woven Outdoor Chairs
Material can change both the character of an outdoor dining setting and the way the furniture needs to be maintained. Powder-coated aluminium provides a lightweight option in a broad range of colours, while timber introduces natural grain and tonal variation. Woven materials bring texture and can create a different relationship with the harder surfaces of an outdoor dining table. Consider the chair material alongside your Outdoor Dining Table, but don't feel that the two need to match. Contrasting materials or colours can make the individual forms more distinct, while repeating a finish can create a stronger connection across the setting.
Outdoor Dining Chairs for Different Spaces
A compact balcony or courtyard may benefit from chairs with lighter proportions that are easy to move around the table, while a larger terrace can accommodate broader forms or chairs with arms. The number of seats you need will also influence the appropriate chair width and table size. For additional seating along one side of a larger table, an Outdoor Bench can provide an alternative to individual chairs. For elevated outdoor dining and entertaining, explore Outdoor Bar Stools.
