20 Best Outdoor Chairs For Elderly (2022 Updated)

This chair seems sturdy, which is the only good quality. It is tiny and only suited for a child or a small, slim adult. The seat size is incorrect and includes the strapping which pinches your skin and the memtal brads burn your skin.

I am a slim size 6 and fit in it like a bear in a hammock! This is only useable with a beach towel to protect your skin from th strapping and brads which completely negates the mesh material that allows air flow.

Says up to 250 lbs. IMPOSSIBLE! The tubing is too tiny for the attachable tray, which slides to side and falls off because it’s too large for the chair frame. I purchased this to replace an identical chair (I thought) by the same description except my old worn out chair is at least 4 inches wider and the seat width is the same as advertised, not including the strapping.

Unless this is for a child, don’t waste your money on this. I would return except the packaging accidentally went out with recycling before I had an opportunity to try it out. I am very unhappy with this purchase.

The color of the chair is beautiful and the built is very sturdy. The chair looks exactly as it looks like in the picture on your website. Unfortunately, I am unable to sit in this chair. I am a short woman, 5 ft 2 in, and the seat was too low for me.

in addition, I’m handicapped and walk with a walker; I have balance issues also. I made about three failed attempts to sit in this chair, and the additional obstacle preventing me to sit in this chair was the metal bar or bars in the front of the chair.

my foot kept getting stuck between it and I realized that if I forced myself to try and sit in this chair I would probably break my ankle. My roommate, who is 6 feet tall, and also has long arms had trouble sitting in this chair and adjusting its position.

But at least he was able to sit in this chair. This chair is presently on the patio, unused, but when the weather gets cooler, as we in California are presently having a heatwave, my roommate will sit in this chair on the patio.

Setup was simple. It came assembled with just the beverage tray needing to be attached. The material & construction is durable & strong plastic that is weaved for breathability. It truly is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever sat it! The light beige color also makes it the best color for the least amount of heat absorption keeping it cool which is important.

I love that it has an overhead shade that is adjustable in 2 different ways for very specific heights & for each individual’s need. The shade can also be folded back securely if not needed. I also love that it reclines in a very comfortable reclining position.

The only thing about the recliner is that its not adjustable & can only be fully reclined back or in the sitting position. There isn’t any “lever” or “locking break” mechanism that allows you to be in-between the 2 positions.

I thought it had more options & was hoping I could have made it flat for when I need to lay on my stomach but the bar for the feet isn’t adjustable. I also love the beverage/phone/tablet tray. I wanted to bring it to the beach but it is a little bit bulky & heavier to haul if you have to carry it further away but I have a folding carrying cart thats plastic with bigger wheels that works great and used 2 bungee cords to keep it in place.

I would really love to see these 4 additional features for this chair: -an adjustable foot rest that you can have the option to lay flat, or be able to turn over on your stomach. -a locking break that can easily let you stay in any position; -a pocket on the back to easily store your towel, phone, carrying tray, drinks, snacks, ect.

-clip on wheels for ease of traveling. I’d pay more too if their was a chair that had all these additional features. It would be the worlds only beach chair that anyone would ever need. Overall this is a really great chair but it’s not that easy to haul with those 4 additional features it would be the perfect chair for any event!.

I’ve had this for about a month now, used exclusively for weekend camping trips in modern midwest RV parks. No rocky mountainous, volcanic, jungle, or glacial terrains. I use it as a table for outdoor cook prep.

So far it seems fairly sturdy as I use cast iron over the campfire, so it holds a good amount of weight, up to or slightly exceeding 50 lbs without issue. My only slight issue could be considered personal, but it seems rather cumbersome to erect and fold away.

I’m not an engineer but I feel the design could be improved to make it a near one handed setup and fold down. Also, as in most telescoping legs, the designers assume that every human is born with three arms, again, maybe considered a personal issue.

Overall though I love this table and have no regrets in buying it. If it gets blown away in a tornado or stolen, I would probably replace it. I use these examples because I doubt it will break using it for what I use it for.

We needed something that was sturdy, had a back to it, could fit in a small space, and was easy to set up. THIS. IS. PERFECT. When we go offroading in the Jeep, we don’t want to have to assemble something for a 15-minute break.

These fit in the back with all the recovery gear, they’re solid when you sit down, and when we’re ready to hit the trails again, we just pull up on the carry strap, they fold, we throw them in the back, and we’re back at it.

On top of that, we aren’t young (or small) anymore, my knees have very little cartilage left, hubs has degenerative discs in his back and these are the perfect height off the ground to make getting up/down easy peasy.

Good product. Has a good adjustable sun shade, keeps me out of direct sun or you don’t have to put it up. Got one for mom’s day, husband tried it and wanted one for our many baseball games we’ll be going to.

(Bag could be a bit bigger) Ordered on a Thursday eve got it Sat. afternoon–nice!.

We were gifted the original tamarack chair for gathering around the fire pit in our backyard and loved them so much we decided to pickup a couple more! Noticed the new rope version and decided to take a risk and try this style- so glad we did! Each style of chair is surprisingly comfortable, but the rope chair is a little easier to sit in.

However, it’s a little clumsy when it comes to folding up to take inside. Either way, both styles are fantastic and we are looking forward to spending many nights gathering around the fire in these chairs for years to come.

We also purchased two of the side tables- another great addition! Plus, customer service is prompt and friendly and the chairs shipped *fast*. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you!.

Stunning chair, great quality, delivered on time. Width of chair is very narrow, I’ve a 32” waist but fit it nicely – anyone bigger won’t! It creeks a lot while the ropes adjust but settles after a few uses.

Love this chair, highly recommend.

The chair is smaller than I thought it was going to be (I watched the video and looked at the pics and it seems 70% of the size) and makes a pretty loud creaking noise when sitting down in it – the kid thought it was going to fall over.

we returned it. Too bad, because I like the design.

Very comfortable chair! I bought this to bring as a beach chair as I don’t like the super low seating of normal beach chairs. I also specifically bought this for the higher weight limit. This held up well during our week.

It’s a very comfortable chair with tons of storage. It has the normal cup holder but also has a netted pocket on the side with multiple pockets on it great for putting phones and other items. I also like built in cooler though I can’t say it really keeps my items cool at all.

I may not have used it properly, but I didn’t notice a difference. Overall a great chair and I think I’m buying another one for our trip next year!.

We’ve had these chairs for about 2 years now and although we love how comfrotable they are and the storage bag and built in cooler are added bonuses we are disappointed on how these have held up. We use these about once a month when we go out camping and these are stored in the garage when not in use so they haven’t been left out in the rain or sun.

Despite that, these chairs have become increasingly difficult to fold up into their storage bags as the legs don’t want to collapse. It’s only a matter of time before one of the legs becomes stuck and we’re no longer able to fold these chairs up.

We have a loveseat chair made by a different company that is twice as big but is easier to fold up than these single chairs.

Many Zero Gravity chairs are best suited for men and are uncomfortable and difficult to get out of for women. This chair is justbright. The distance between the knee bend a the front of the seat and the back rest of the chair is not as deep as the typicaly larger zero gravity chairs.

With the chair in the upright position it is easy to get out of which is also not typical of many zero gravity chairs. So just right for a mama bear but it is not the just right chair for big or tall men.

I purchased mine at the end of summer closeout pricing in the Flagstaff store. So happy to be its new owner, I have been looking for 2 years to find a zero gravity that is comfortable for a woman’s leg length.

Very comfortable zero gravity chair/chase. Relaxing way to enjoy air on bare feet while reclining. This is useful for someone who must always wear shoes. Nice way to elevate feet and air flow is good with the chairs’ material construction.

Versatile chair with smooth mechanics.

I got two chairs for the price of one, but I got a few issues with it. First the chair does not want to lean back. It takes 250 pounds of pushing until your feet slip on the lower bar. After examining the lower bar against the previous chairs I had, the lower bar has a plastic piece that is not bolted on so your feet slip as you try to push back.

Alittle bolt and screw should fix that, but disappointed that I have to rig the chair up. Another issue I have with the chair is the weird popping it makes in t lie wrm as I try to push back. Not sure what’s going on but it sounds like it’s breaking everythime I want to lean back.

I was hanging out with friends in the park, sitting on an old, folding lawnchair that was probably made in the 1950’s, when it happend; The chair collapsed on me without warning! Whoops!!!! How embarrassing! I got up, laughed it off, and told myself, “Whelp, looks like I get to find me another chair.

” I’m a large guy, shy of 400 pounds, so I needed something that was well-built, and something that could handle my weight. I did some searching on-line and came across the DHX website, and saw this particular chair for sale.

The advertisement stated that it can handle up to 500 pounds. I thought I’d give it a try. The shipping was very quick! It arrived 2 days after I ordered it. The chair came with a carrying bag. The bag has a large strap, making it easy to carry, and when the chair is removed from the bag, you may hang the bag over the back of the chair, via the strap, making it convenient, so the wind doesn’t blow it away.

The chair is very simple to set up. In fact, easier than that old chair I was using from the 1950’s. You basically spread the legs apart and it’s good to go. The chair looks great in the colors I chose (blue, sage, grey).

It has arm rests with a drink holder on each arm. It’s very comfortable to sit in, and unlike many chairs which are too low to the ground, this one is great height, so you sit upright, like you would on a dining room chair.

I can sit in it for hours without getting a backache or sore bottom. I really like it. Getting out of the chair was a bit of a challenge at first. The arm rests don’t have support under them, so you really can’t put your weight on the arm rests when you go to stand up.

To get out of the chair, you must scoot your body forward a bit, and then rock forward and stand up. Took a couple of tries before I got it. Overall I think this is good, sturdy, reliable chair. If you’re a large person such as me, I think you’ll find this chair to be a good choice.

I’m very happy with it.

Love this chair. Once spring starts, it lives in the trunk of my car. Take it to the beach, the park, other people’s cookouts where they may have flimsy plastic chairs. It’s sturdy and easy to store.

The only issue I have with it is when we use it at the beach, we have a really hard time folding it up. I actually thought it was broken and considered dumping it. Decided to give it another try and finally it closed.

If anyone has an idea what could be causing it, please let me know.

I bought this product for my brother who is very tall and big. The chair sits high enough her doesn’t feel like he’s squatting. The back is higher and the seat is wider making it more comfortable to sit in at the beach/lake/camping.

I was so pleased I bought 2 more for myself & my child. Highly recommend this chair. It’s very durable and comfortable – which is not something you find for heavier and/or taller people.

These are a beautiful night yellow just as pictured. However, the quality of the wood has me concerned about how they’ll hold up in the long run. The wood isn’t very smooth, it’s got a lot of cracks and deep grooves.

They are covered in a very thick coat of paint which should help, i hope. The description says the back is rounded, it is not. It’s completely flat, unless they were describing the curved top. Pillows and cushions make them reasonably comfortable and i got them on sale with free shipping so along with the fact that i love the sunny yellow we’ll keep them and keep our fingers crossed they last.

I think this set looks great but the assembly is almost impossible and incredibly time consuming. Using the Alan Wrench to put the screws in doesn’t work. It’s like the holes don’t fit at all. Also, cushions do not dry quickly and do not have ties.

Pay the extra fee to have delivered all put together. It’s worth it.

Great looking set, not so great to put together. The hardware set that comes with it is not very durable. Be ready to have stripped a few of the heads before it is fully together, I recommend purchasing a set of flat head screws just incase.

The holes are pre drilled but that is it, takes a lot of effort to out together, power tool not recommend as it will step the head faster.

The quality of the installation of the chairs due to the arms being loose and screws being stripped from whoever put them together are why I give this product low scores. They were expensive and I expected the quality to be much better.

NFM should bear some responsibility for the shoddy installation.

I have searched for a char that can recline and that can rock. There were not a lot of options and so decided to give this one a try. It works very well and the rocking option is worth it. It is very soothing to rock and a great thing to have.

It also reclines nicely. It does not go to 180 degrees flat position, but that is totally ok. The Chair folds very easily – you can fully folded or unfold it in about 10 seconds !!! So super easy. I have read many comments on rust etc.

Well yes – it has some rust but it is totally unnoticeable and is totally fine. I have it standing outside 24/7 in rain, snow, and sun, and the rust is almost invisible. The table that comes with it is good – but it will not stay on firmly by itself.

I used ducked tape on the chair legs to create a non sticky surface – which does a great job of holding the table tray in place. Overall it is a good purchase and I am happy with it – considering that there are really Not many options for rocking and reclining chair combinations.

So this product gets the “I Recommend it” badge.

The brownish weave & dark frame look acceptable in my book lined room. Sadly there is a lack of zero gravity furniture designed for living rooms. IT IS AN UNMET NEED! This chair is huge. Good for very tall people! Stable base.

I bought the chair less than a month ago. I wanted something strong, comfortable and reliable as I have back and hips problems. It does not recline enough to make me comfortable and the chair once reclined cannot be locked in that position.

There is a big gap between the foot stand and the material and after a while it is uncomfortable.

Having previously bought Adirondack chairs from Lifetime a couple years back, and having a great experience with the product, I expected the same level of quality with these chairs. However, assembling these chairs was a real pain.

The holes didn’t line up which made putting this together VERY difficult. Also, the seat was cracked underneath. (I will say their support team sent me a new seat part, but I’m so reluctant to take it apart to put the new seat on because it was so difficult to assemble the first time around.

) For the price, I really felt like they could have done a better job with quality assurance making sure that assembly would be seamless.

High quality chair that will last. We had previously purchased 2 of these several years ago in brown. Added a new fire pit last fall and wanted to upgrade from the fold up chairs we had been using. Bought 2 more of these in gray (we were worried they might be close but not quite a match with new and 6 year old brown chairs, so went with deliberate contrast), so now only need the fold-up chairs for more than 4 at the pit.

Assembly will take about 20 minutes – tools are included (hex wrench), and if you have a drill things go much faster. Unfortunately, the “straight” hex driver is not great quality and was stripped after only about half of the assembly was complete, but found a better one in my tool box.

You will need to attach the 2 outside back slats, front and rear legs, and a couple of cross supports (all of the seat slats and most of the back slats are pre-attached). Completely satisfied with the assembled product and expect these to also last for many years.

Really happy with these chairs and assume they will last forever and be much more maintenance free than wood or painted surfaces. Assembly was not bad but I am above average mechanically. The only improvement than should be made is the screws, they are soft.

So is the metal hex head tools that come with it. The screw heads round out very easily and so does the wrench. I used a drill and my own bit but had to be very careful to keep it lined up straight and keep from having any screw on a bind.

One wrong move and the screw strips out and becomes useless. Also, it would be helpful if there was more of a point on the screw to help find the hole. The pre-drilled holes here lined up well. Be sure to only screw in each screw part way until the whole chair is assembled, then go back and tighten them all.

Just be very care with the screws at all time. Very high quality chairs with very low quality screws.

I like the way the chairs look on our porch and they are comfortable and sturdy. My husband had a lot of trouble assembling one of them because hole didn’t line up. It was frustrating for him. One of the screws on the leg couldn’t be drilled in all of the way and sticks out.

Assembly of the second chair went more smoothly.

These are really nice chairs. They are very comfortable. The front part of the seat has a nice curve to it so they feel very natural behind your knees. We really love the more upright position but they still lean back just a bit so you are in a nice relaxed seated position.

They really do look like painted wood. They are very heavy-duty and look like they will last a long time. I’ve seen similar chairs for a lot more money online. These are well worth the price.

The two chairs were poorly packaged, The box was too lightweight and there was no styrofoam forms in the corners so all 4 corners were crushed, and there were holes torn in the folds of the box as well.

Luckily, the chairs were not damaged however. If you are a large or heavier person, I would not buy these. They are light and mostly plastic and seem pretty flimsy, probably not sturdy enough for children either.

It’s pretty much a glorified lawn chair. That said, the price is right. They look nicer than a lawn chair, and I bought them to use as temporary chairs to put in our new winter home which we will arrive at unfurnished.

Once we get furniture, I’ll move them out to the patio for as long as they last, which I’m not expecting will be too long. They will work for my purposes.

It took some time before I got them. I almost forgot I ordered them! But they came just in time. I ordered a gazebo from Amazon and by the time I got it put up that’s when I remembered the chairs and was going to contact the company about it.

When I got home from work guess what was waiting for me! Yep, the chairs. I took them out of the box, which I must say they were wrapped very well. Set them up in my new gazebo and the rest is history.

I got the red ones. They are perfect and comfortable. I fell asleep in in. They did take a while to get here but due to what’s going on in the world sometimes a little patience and understanding is in order.

So I can’t no give 5 stars because it took some time. It worked out and I’m happy.

Each chair has own box. Instructions are average. Assembly is fairly quick & straight forward after brief familiarization with drawings & parts. Movement of chair is a two person task for safety reasons.

Chairs are heavy. Quality appears to be excellent! Would recommend purchase. FEDEX DELIVERS & THEY SUCK!.

Great chairs, super easy to set up, store and maintain! I replaced similarly sized old painted wood adirondack chairs that I use on my patio. I would say these are acceptably comfortable, although not quite as comfortable as the old wood ones I replaced.

If I had the room, I would have gone for the larger, deeper version with seven slats, which seem to be more ergonomic by design. However, I’m very happy with my purchase, which included ottomans, which I would recommend for proper lounging! Look great and the Trex material is wonderful for long-life and ultra low maintenance.

I used to store my old wooden adirondacks with a tarp over them during the Chicago winters. Now I can pop out the pegs and arm screws, unfold them, and bring them inside. Nice!.

I bought a set for a beautiful woman for her yard. I bought myself a set because I needed something to chill on when taking breaks. I’m in the process of finishing my tiny house and I’m living in it now.

I needed something comfortable and easy to clean. These chairs don’t rock but are pretty cool. I recommend them to anyone.

My family and I enjoy going out fishing and camping. A comfortable chair is a must for those long hours waiting for the bite alarm to go off and when it does, you need to be able to launch out of your seat and make a mad rush for the rod! We’ve tried all the different styles of camping chairs out there, and this is the hands down winner.

We’re now up to 3 of them, because we were tired of playing musical chairs with the one we had. It packs flat into a rectangle and does not need to be stuffed into a bag. Deployment and putting up takes less than a minute.

It even has straps for you to carry it on your back. With the generous sized bag on the back of the seat, it becomes a backpack. The 4 positions aren’t that different, but are appreciated. Most of the time we are either fully upright or fully reclined.

It’s reclined enough to take a nice nap, which is a good way to pass time when the fish aren’t biting! Oh, and as a tip, since the armrest is flat and not too thick, you can clamp on a gooseneck cellphone holder to it.

This keeps your cellphone safe and out of the sand when you run for your fishing rod.

Purchased two of these a month ago for a camping trip because I wanted something with more support for my back than a standard camp chair. This was perfect. The head rest is adjustable and sliding it down to the lower back created a lumbar support.

It was a little tricky figuring out the easiest way to recline and reset to sitting, so use the footrest as leverage. The construction seems solid and I expect it will be around for many years. A couple of criticisms: there is no way to lock it when its folded up making it tough to move around, in and out of the car, etc.

I plan to add something like a bungee cord. Having a handle for carrying would have also been a nice feature. The side table also clips on and off, so be sure to take it off before moving around so it doesn’t snap off.

An improvement would have been to add a hinge. Now if you are buying this to keep in one place, none of these things will be an issue. All those comments aside, the chair is super comfy and no regrets on this one.

Fantastic purchase. I use this chair daily and it is super comfortable, wide enough so my shoulders arent against the frame like smaller chairs, and pretty darn sturdy. Handles all 250# of me with ease.

Comfortable enough to fall asleep in, and good for a nap when breaks during 16hr shifts will allow. Definitely not a. backpacking chair but perfect for a camper, car camping or home. I keep one in my truck and one at home.

I definitely reccomend sitting in one in store see for yourself.

I picked this item along with the matching “Big Guy” folding chair w/tray. Birthday gifts for my mom and dad respectively (1 day apart! wouldn’t you know it) Both were taken aback by the high quality fit and finish.

It is mom’s favorite chair to enjoy her garden and occasionaly nap. They are reasonably priced normally, but when you get them on sale as I did, they are an amazing value. I may have to get another!.

I so wanted to love this chair, particularly for its weather resistence feature, but it falls short and at a premium cost. The chair is uncomfortably hard without a THICK cushion on the seat and, unfortunately, the cushion will slip through behind the seat (see large gap); also the cushion straps do not reach the vertical supports and therefor the cushion can’t be secured.

The back is not comfortable for extended sitting. I am a 5’4″ female and feel that the chair seat is not deep enough and should be at least 1″ higher from the ground for easier standing. The adjustable back does not recline much at all.

I purchased 2 of these chairs for extended sitting to read and relax but they are now only used for extra guest seating. Spend your money on another chair.

POLYWOOD knows how to manufacture sturdy outdoor furniture to stand up to the elements, be comfortable, and look good at the same time. We have been pleased with all our POLYWOOD purchases and this arm chair is no exception.

Assembly is easy (some pieces take longer, but it is not difficult if you follow their directions). Living in SW Florida we wanted reasonable pricing and heavy, well made seating and tables to put outside that would last year after year; highly recommend.

The Polywood La Casa Cafe Patio Dining Chair is well made, durable and easy to maintain. My only quibble is that there is one less seat slat than the Vineyard Patio Chair resulting in the slats being spaced further apart to achieve the same seat depth.

The Sand color is lovely in a woodland setting. Cushions will be necessary for seating comfort.

I received this chair a couple of weeks ago and wasted no time using it. It’s been just as comfortable on the back patio as on a sandy beach, and while a bit on the heavy side the shoulder strap on the included bag makes it easier to get it where you’re going.

The biggest issue I usually have with this type of folding chair is that the front edge tends to dig into the back of my legs and cut off circulation. That has not been the case with this chair so far – the front edge provides support without digging in, I think in part because of its width.

This chair is wide enough that my legs don’t get pinched on the sides either, I am comfortably settled in the center of the seat with lots of room on either side. It’s very sturdy with very little flex.

I’m 6′ and 285 lbs, and this chair holds me up really well. The pockets on the right side are plenty roomy for a drink, phone, and snacks. Only time will tell if this 5-star review holds up, but I recommend this chair to all my big brethren.

Purchased this as a gift for my husband. He is not a large man, but has rheumatoid arthritis which makes standing from a low seated position more difficult. The 19″ high seat (vs. the average 17″ chair) and the solid arm rests make standing up a breeze.

The higher seat back and roomy width allow for more varied positioning when seated. I am also impressed with the sturdiness of the nylon covering and frame. The soft fabric lined accessory pocket helps protect sunglasses, electronics or whatever you choose to stow there.

And the carrying bag has a zippered pleat, so it opens up plenty wide to slip the chair back in without hassle. All in all I am highly satisfied with this purchase. It’s a gift that will keep on giving for years to come.

The best folding chair ever, if you’re at a campsite or at home. The metal arms are the best feature or maybe it’s worst. You’re not going to pack this chair very far. Years ago, Cabela’s had a great chair but the back was made of a mesh, it was very nice but left your back exposed to cold wind.

I haven’t taken this one winter camping yet, but I appreciate all the work and extra padding they have put into it. Super solid and very comfortable. Easily justifies the cost. 5 stars.

Upgrading my Summit Camp Chairs to the Woods 3-Position Reclining Camping Lounger Chair. Weighs 20lbs and is bulky but exactly what I was looking for and built from quality material. This lounger supports 300lbs.

At the time of purchase there was only one color (Dijon) availaible. I’m 6’0 and 150lbs. My cousin tried it out and he’s 6’3 and 250lbs, we both fit on it and its comfortable. The only con to this chair so far is the arms are so narrow, but I knew that before purchasing.

It’s super easy to adjust the lounger on the arm rests while sitting in it. This item was ordered on Monday 7/11/22 @6:14pm and delivered Tuesday 7/12/22 @12:16pm. Super pleased with the speed of this delivery.

I didn’t even know there was a cup holder until I saw this title! Haha. It was swung in under the chair and i didn’t see it. Anyways, that is certainly a great addition. This chair is very large and plush.

For me, it is almost too large, but it is comfy, except that I find my lower back gets sore if sitting in it for long times because of the curve of the chair. It has 3 height settings. It would be great if it had a setting to lay completely flat.

Then you could use it as a cot, as it is padded a little bit, but the 3 settings are good.

Very strong, padded & comfortable, appears very durable. Folds small for RV. Heavier than expected. Sits you up without that sliding down problem at the bend. Just what I was looking for. Only feature missing is feet-down chair position.

Hard to find both that is NOT a zero gravity design. This chaise does not require stomach muscles to operate. That is what I like about it. Solid design, no slipping and sliding. Holds 300lbs.
