6 Best Outdoor Rocking Chairs That Are As Comfy as They Are Pretty

This large rocking chair from Chico offers a wide seat and high back, perfect for melting into after a long day. Made of rattan, it’s durable and weather-resistant. It also comes in a variety of frame and cushion colors, so you can choose the look that fits with your patio decor.

Happy customer: “I looked for a while before buying chairs for my front porch. I absolutely love these chairs! No regrets! Sturdy, oversized, comfy. A little tricky to put them together, but I did it unassisted.

With this outdoor rocking chair set, you and your hubby can sit around the pool for hours soaking up the sun. This pair from Beachcrest Home is made of solid acacia wood and will hold up well over time. Its two-inch-thick removable seat cushion (which you can easily replace if you want something poppier) is so comfy you’ll be able to sit for hours, and since its water-resistant you won’t need to cover it when you finally decide to get up. 

Happy customer: “I have had these chairs for several months now and they have held up very well! They are under a covered porch but still get direct sun and rain occasionally. They still look brand new! They are also VERY comfortable to sit in and the cushions are easy to clean. Feels much more high end than what I paid.“

The Darby Home Co Outdoor Pemberville Rocking Metal Chair is a standout metal rocking chair that will look beautiful in any backyard for years to come. Its powder-coated metal frame can withstand outdoor conditions, and the sturdy construction can hold up to 250 pounds. The distressed antique finish and rustic lattice pattern give this rocker a charming aesthetic that you’ll want to display in front of your home all year long!

Happy customer: “Lovely artistic detail. Makes the whole porch prettier. Absolutely love this chair — holding up after a year, looks just as perfect as [when] purchased. Enjoy sitting in it with or without a pad.”

Adirondack chairs are the quintessential East Coast summer seat, but one that rocks? That’s a game changer. This one is weather-resistant and won’t splinter or chip. It’s made of durable recycled materials that will withstand the test of time. We’ll feel very Jackie O rocking in it with an ice cold lemonade in hand (and perhaps a head scarf?) all summer! 

If modern furniture is more your speed, you’ll love this solid wood outdoor rocking chair by Greyleigh. This rocker is made from eucalyptus wood, meaning it’s tough enough to stand up the weather and everyday wear and tear. Though this chair is upholstered using water-resistant polyester, we recommend keeping it covered when you’re not using it, so it lasts longer. Choose from seven fabric colors — including gray, cream, blue, black, green, navy, and red — for a truly stylish outdoor piece. 

Happy customer: “Good, comfortable chairs. Easy to assemble.”

You can easily bring the GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker to your grandson’s baseball games, camping, or wherever you want to go! Its sturdy steel frame can support up to 250 pounds, yet it’s still super lightweight and portable. And with those padded armrests and built-in cupholder, you’ll be tempted to rock the whole day away.

Happy customer: “We love this chair so much we bought three! We are a baseball family and travel to many games. These chairs are the talk of the parents at every game. As a matter of fact I should probably get a commission as I am certain I am responsible for many other sales. And they say only a 250lb weight limit but I am 260 and I know others bigger and these chars hold up just fine!“

The key to getting the most enjoyment out of your outdoor rocker is to invest in a thick cover that will protect it against wind, rain, and dirt. This fade-resistant chair cover strikes a delicate balance between style and function, shielding your deck furniture without being a complete eyesore. It also comes with handy vents to prevent molding and easy-to-grab handles for removal. 

Happy customer: “These are great quality covers! They are perfect for Pontoon boat furniture. We have a full set of them, 5 covers in different sizes – full sofa sectional, 3 seat/chair covers, the console(rocking chair cover). They spent an entire hot sunny summer on the boat getting blasted with the suns rays and they held up great. Barely even faded, and still 100 percent functional, unlike most actual boat furniture covers that fall apart in weeks after cooking in the sun.“
