Outdoor Dining Chairs with Arms
Armrests change both the comfort and proportions of an outdoor dining chair. They provide additional support while creating a more enveloping seat around the table, making an outdoor armchair a useful option for longer meals and gatherings. Before choosing, check the height of the armrests against your dining table to make sure the chair can sit comfortably beneath or alongside the tabletop. For a wider selection of seating with and without arms, explore all Outdoor Dining Chairs.
Choosing Outdoor Armchairs for Your Dining Table
Consider the width of each chair as well as the available space around the table. Armchairs generally require more room than side chairs, which can affect how many seats fit comfortably along each side. You can use armchairs throughout the setting or combine them with armless dining chairs. Positioning armchairs at the ends of a rectangular table, for example, can introduce a different form while keeping the remaining seating more compact.
Aluminium, Timber and Woven Outdoor Armchairs
Huset’s collection includes outdoor armchairs across a range of materials and constructions. Powder-coated aluminium creates a lighter visual and physical profile, while timber introduces natural grain and tonal variation. Woven seats and backrests can add texture and create contrast against metal or timber frames. Consider the material alongside your Outdoor Dining Table, as well as the level of exposure the furniture will experience. Always refer to the individual product information and care instructions for material-specific maintenance.
Outdoor Armchairs or Lounge Chairs?
The main difference is how the chair is intended to be used. Outdoor armchairs in this collection are suited to upright seating around a dining table, while lounge chairs generally have a lower seat and a more reclined position designed for sitting away from the table. If you are creating a lower seating arrangement for conversation, reading or sitting beside an outdoor sofa, explore our Outdoor Lounge Chairs.
