Collection:
Chairs & Benches
This selection brings together garden chairs, stackable models, chairs with armrests, lounge chairs, and garden benches for private outdoor spaces as well as professional areas — built to last, comfortable to sit in, and architecturally designed.
The materials are divided by use. Metal — aluminum, stainless steel, powder-coated steel — is robust and shape-stable and can withstand the elements outdoors. Wood such as teak, acacia, and eucalyptus brings warmth and changes its color outdoors, not its substance. Plastic and rope weaves are lightweight, pleasant to the touch, and can be hosed down. Cushion covers are usually removable and brought inside at the end of the season, while the frame remains.
Three measurements are important for this selection. The seat height for chairs is usually between 40 and 45 cm, and for benches between 42 and 48 cm; below that, lounge height begins, from which you can no longer easily stand up. The seat width ranges from 45 to 55 cm per seat, and for benches from 100 to 200 cm. And there should be 25 to 30 cm left between the seat and the table edge so that the legs have room. If the seat height and depth are consistent across the board, no one sits higher than their neighbor — we check this for you before you mix several series.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Garden Chairs and Benches
What is the difference between outdoor chairs and garden benches?
Outdoor chairs and garden benches differ in size, flexibility, and seating comfort:
- Chairs: Single seats, easy to rearrange, ideal for smaller seating groups
- Benches: Provide space for several people, ideal for families or groups of guests
- Flexibility: Chairs can be more easily added or moved, benches immediately create several seats
- Design: Often combinable to create a harmonious overall look
Note: Both options can be ideally combined depending on the available space and use.
How do I find the right size, seat height, and seat width for garden chairs and benches?
The right dimensions ensure comfort and optimal use in the outdoor area.
- Seat height: 40–45 cm for chairs, 42–48 cm for benches is common
- Seat width: Single chairs approx. 45–55 cm, benches 100–200 cm depending on the number of people
- Depth: 40–50 cm for chairs, 40–55 cm for benches
- Distance to the table: 25–30 cm of space between the seat and the table edge for comfortable legroom
Practical tip: Draw the planned placement area on the ground to check the size and freedom of movement.
How do I combine chairs and benches in the outdoor area, and what should I pay attention to with seating sets?
The combination of chairs and benches provides flexibility and a harmonious appearance.
- Set selection: Pay attention to the same materials, colors, and seat heights
- Combination: Benches for several people, chairs for single seats or guests
- Flexibility: Single chairs can be moved more easily, benches immediately create several seats
- Design tip: Choose round, square, or modular sets depending on the table shape
Note: Start with the basic seats and expand as needed for more guests or comfort.
What advantages do garden chairs with armrests or padding offer?
Armrests and padding increase comfort and style:
- Armrests: Support posture, make it easier to stand up
- Padding: Better comfort, especially during longer stays
- Design: Armrests and padding create visual accents and can emphasize the lounge character
Practical tip: For dining areas, pay attention to armrests; for lounge chairs, choose padding for maximum comfort.
What materials are suitable for outdoor chairs and benches, including rope?
The choice of material influences durability, weather resistance, and design:
- Metal: Aluminum, stainless steel, or powder-coated steel — robust and weather-resistant
- Wood: Teak, acacia, or eucalyptus — natural and durable, weather-treated
- Plastic / Poly rattan: Easy to care for, lightweight, and flexibly combinable
- Rope: Weather-resistant weave for a lounge look, pleasant to the touch, durable
- Covers: UV-resistant, water-repellent fabrics for cushions
Tip: Choose materials based on maintenance effort, location, and desired style. Rope is particularly suitable for modern lounges and accent furniture.
