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.“

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 the Camdenton Rocking Chair from 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 five fabric colors — gray/beige, navy, teak/gray, teak/brown beige, and yellow — for a truly stylish outdoor piece. 

Happy customer: “I’m in love with this rocking chair!… It was fairly easy to assemble on my own (though it would be easier with two people), is sturdy and very comfortable. We were very pleased with the quality of this chair! It’s wide enough that I can sit cross-legged on it with a book and be very comfortable.”

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.“
