For comfy summertime lounging, outdoor club chairs can make a patio or poolside an even better hangout spot. Most club chairs are made of wicker, aluminum, or wood, each material providing a different style and weight. If you have the space and want the extra comfort, oversized chairs are great for relaxing for long stretches. For a smaller space, compact chairs may be better and are easier to maneuver. Some metal chairs may bounce lightly. If you prefer club chairs with cushions, try to match the cushions to your patio or porch, and look for weather-resistant designs that are easy to wash.
