Outdoor Wicker Dining Chairs

Choosing Outdoor Wicker Dining Chairs

The right outdoor dining chairs should provide comfortable support while fitting the height, scale, and style of your dining table. Wicker dining chairs offer a refined woven appearance that works well in traditional, transitional, and contemporary outdoor spaces.

This collection includes dining chairs from multiple Lloyd Flanders furniture collections. Coordinating chairs and tables from the same collection generally provide the most consistent match, but complementary designs can also be combined to create a more personalized outdoor dining area.

Dining Armchairs, Side Chairs and Swivel Chairs

Outdoor Dining Armchairs

Dining armchairs provide additional upper-body support and are often used at the head and foot of a rectangular table. They can also be used around round or square tables when sufficient space is available between place settings.

Armless Dining Side Chairs

Armless dining chairs have a more compact profile, making it easier to arrange additional seating around a table. They also slide beneath many dining tables more easily when not in use.

Swivel Dining Chairs

Swivel dining chairs allow easier movement when entering or leaving the table. Some models also incorporate rocking or gliding motion, making them useful for dining areas that serve as conversation spaces after meals.

Lloyd Loom and Resin Wicker Dining Chairs

Lloyd Flanders offers both Lloyd Loom and resin wicker dining furniture. Lloyd Loom wicker provides a smooth, tailored woven appearance associated with the company’s classic furniture collections. Resin wicker uses durable synthetic strands woven over sturdy frames and is available in traditional and more contemporary styles.

Both furniture types are designed for outdoor living, but their appearance, weave texture, finish selections, and collection styling differ. Compare the available collections to find chairs that coordinate with your table and the surrounding patio furniture.

Comfort, Cushions and Fabric Options

Depending on the model, an outdoor dining chair may include a cushion, offer one as an option, or use a woven seat designed for comfort without a separate cushion. Review the individual product page to confirm what is included with each chair.

For chairs offering upholstered cushions, explore the available colors, patterns, and performance textiles in the Lloyd Flanders fabric gallery. Fabric and finish selections make it easier to coordinate dining chairs with lounge seating and other furniture in the same outdoor space.

Creating a Complete Outdoor Dining Area

Consider the size of your patio and the number of people you normally seat before selecting chairs. Allow enough room for each chair to pull away from the table comfortably while preserving clear walking space around the dining arrangement.

Browse the complete outdoor dining furniture collection to compare chairs, tables, and coordinated dining options. For elevated counters and balcony-height tables, shop outdoor bar stools designed for the appropriate surface height.

Outdoor Wicker Dining Chair FAQs

What is the difference between a dining armchair and a side chair?

A dining armchair includes arms for additional support, while a side chair has an armless design that occupies less space around the table. Many dining arrangements combine armchairs at the ends with side chairs along the sides.

Do outdoor wicker dining chairs include cushions?

Cushion inclusion varies by model. Some chairs include a cushion, some offer an optional cushion, and others have a woven seat intended for use without one. Check the individual product description before ordering.

Can I mix dining chairs and tables from different collections?

Yes, provided the chair height, table clearance, finish colors, and overall scale work together. Selecting pieces from the same collection usually provides the most coordinated appearance.

How much room should I allow around an outdoor dining table?

Provide enough space for chairs to pull out comfortably and for people to walk behind occupied seats. The exact amount depends on the chair depth, table size, and surrounding patio layout.

Can wicker dining chairs remain outdoors?

These chairs are designed for outdoor living. Routine cleaning and reasonable protection during severe weather or extended periods of nonuse will help preserve their appearance and finish.
