Outdoor Wicker Swivel Chairs & Rockers

Flexible Seating for Patios and Porches

An outdoor wicker swivel chair adds flexibility to a patio conversation area. The rotating base makes it easy to change direction while remaining comfortably seated, which is especially useful when a space has multiple focal points.

Swivel chairs work well around coffee tables and fire tables, beside an outdoor sofa, or as a pair of comfortable chairs on a porch or deck.

Swivel Chairs, Swivel Rockers, and Swivel Gliders

The chairs in this category do not all provide the same type of motion. A standard swivel chair rotates from side to side. A swivel rocker combines the rotating base with a gentle rocking motion, while a swivel glider may combine rotation with a smooth back-and-forth gliding movement.

Review the individual product name and specifications to confirm which movements are included with a particular chair. If rotating movement is not necessary, you can also compare traditional outdoor rocking chairs and outdoor glider chairs.

Lloyd Loom and All-Weather Resin Wicker

Lloyd Flanders swivel chairs are available in both Lloyd Loom wicker and all-weather resin wicker collections. Lloyd Loom furniture features a continuous woven surface applied over a sturdy frame, while resin wicker uses durable synthetic woven material designed for outdoor environments.

Construction and recommended placement vary by collection. Review the information on the individual product page when choosing furniture for an exposed patio, covered porch, or enclosed sunroom.

Allow Room for Swivel and Rocking Movement

Measure more than the chair's listed width and depth when planning its placement. A swivel chair needs clearance around its sides to rotate, and swivel-rocking or swivel-gliding chairs require additional space behind and in front of the chair.

Leave adequate room between the chair and nearby walls, tables, railings, and other furniture. Before ordering, also measure doorways, gates, stairs, and other delivery access points. Our furniture and cushion measuring guide provides additional measuring assistance.

Custom Cushion Fabrics and Frame Finishes

Many Lloyd Flanders swivel chairs can be customized with your preferred outdoor cushion fabric and available frame finish. Coordinating these selections with a sofa, loveseat, or ottoman helps create a unified outdoor seating arrangement.

Explore colors and patterns in the Lloyd Flanders fabric gallery. For Lloyd Loom furniture, you can also order Lloyd Loom finish swatches before selecting a frame color.

Complete Your Outdoor Seating Area

Pair a swivel chair with a coordinating outdoor ottoman or footstool for added leg support. A patio coffee table provides a convenient surface for drinks and books, while outdoor throw pillows introduce additional comfort and color.

Caring for an Outdoor Wicker Swivel Chair

Remove loose debris regularly with a soft brush or vacuum attachment. Clean the wicker frame with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth or brush, avoiding abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.

Keep the area beneath the chair clear so debris does not interfere with the swivel or rocking mechanism. Follow the care instructions provided for the selected cushion fabric, and consider protective covers or sheltered storage during severe weather and extended periods of nonuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all swivel chairs also rock or glide?

No. Some chairs swivel only, while others combine swivel movement with rocking or gliding. Check the individual product description to confirm the chair's functions.

How much clearance does a swivel chair need?

The required clearance depends on the chair's dimensions and motion. Allow sufficient space on all sides for rotation and additional front-to-back clearance for models that rock or glide.

Can I customize the cushions and frame finish?

Many Lloyd Flanders swivel chairs are available with a selection of cushion fabrics and frame finishes. The available options are shown on each product page.

Can outdoor swivel chairs remain outside?

Suitability depends on the chair's materials, cushion fabric, exposure, and local climate. Furniture covers and sheltered storage during severe weather can help protect the chair and its motion mechanism.
