Outdoor Chairs & Benches

Discover outdoor seating for every occasion

The right outdoor chairs can transform any patio or poolside into a warm and welcoming retreat all year round! Whether it’s outdoor dining chairs and outdoor dining benches for long lunches under the pergola, comfortable outdoor arm chairs for basking in the sun, or a hanging egg chair for kicking back and relaxing, you’ll find outdoor seating that’s both stylish and functional at Harvey Norman.

What materials are best for outdoor chairs?

Material can make a huge difference to the look and feel of outdoor chairs and benches. Some materials are more resilient than others, each offers distinct benefits and can weather the Australian elements – given the right care:

• Wood – Wooden outdoor chairs come in a variety of stunning finishes that age beautifully, bringing warmth to outdoor spaces.
• Metal – Sturdy and sleek, metal outdoor chairs bring modern style and excellent durability. Powder-coated finishes help to resist corrosion for long-lasting visual appeal.
• Wicker – Lightweight yet durable, outdoor wicker chairs showcase natural charm while resisting moisture and UV damage.
• Rope – Rope-woven chairs provide a unique coastal look while staying hard-wearing and resilient in outdoor conditions.

How to take care of your outdoor chairs

While outdoor furniture is designed to be used in the great outdoors, eventually the rain, hail, and Aussie sunshine can take their toll. Whether you’re eyeing a timber outdoor bench seat or love the natural look of wicker dining chairs, maintenance can vary from material to material.

Powder-coated aluminium has a barrier that protects it from being exposed to moisture and oxygen, which means you can simply wipe it clean regularly and cover it when not in use. Wood has intricate grains that need a little more TLC than other materials, so ongoing maintenance means giving it a light sanding and applying oil or stain for extra protection from the elements. When not in use, remember to store your cushions or pillows in a shed or use our weather-resistant outdoor furniture covers to prevent any rust, mould, or mildew.
