You want a lawn chair. And there are multitudes of options everywhere you turn. So it really comes down to one thing: what do you want from your folding chairs? Start with how you intend to use the furniture, how you want it to feel, and the type of atmosphere you want to set. Then the choices become really quite easy.

Do you picture seating for a quiet but refined conversation area? Should the group dynamic be the focus rather than the furniture in use? Consider something like the Adirondack chair: made of durable wood, stable in construction, classic design. There are numerous retailers and manufacturers of the Adirondack chair, and you can even find plans to build your own. One product on Amazon offers woodworking plans for the Folding Contoured Lawn Chair by Classicraft (ASIN: B003MX6G7S). The end product is a contoured, wood-slatted chair with wide arms and an easy-to-fold plan making the chair easy to carry and store.

If you have in mind a set-up with actual chairs-on-the-grass, you might want to look at aluminum folding lawn chairs. These bring an outdoorsy but comfortable feel to the group area. Lightweight and very easy to store, folding web lawn chairs are flexible for whatever situation you need for a variety of group activities. The design lines vary: you’ll find the standard iconic American webbed seating with the strong nylon or polyester woven fabric strips forming the seat and backing. But you’ll also be able to find a folding aluminum lawn chair with a sling-type style: a one-piece rectangle of fabric attached to the scissor-style folding aluminum frame. Colors and sizes can work together to create a visually appealing seating plan outdoors on your beautiful green lawn.

Resin and molded plastic also offer great options for a folding lawn chair. And the silhouette for these seating designs comes in a wide range of styles. Target stores (both locally and online) offer the Kettler Caribic Armchair, made of white resin and a comfortable design (Catalog #10258712). Priced at around $190, this chair will prove to be a long-lasting and durable outdoor item. It offers 16 different seating positions and weighs around 24 pounds. The item as purchased requires assembly, but the high back and slatted seat of the finished chair will offer both comfort and easy access for lawn and patio seating.

The key to finding the perfect folding lawn chair for your needs is to shop around and do some research. You may be surprised at the wide variety in styles, design and construction materials that you will find on today’s market. There’s sure to be something just for your particular needs.
