Chaise Furniture

Sofas are not the only furniture piece that comes in a chaise style. There are many different types of furniture to feature the signature chaise or sectional look. You can find a lounger with a chaise, chaise furniture for the outdoors, sectionals that have a pull out sleeper bed, and in even more different and unique styles. We will highlight a couple styles of sectionals that we find to be used most in daily life.

Outdoor Chaise
The majority of outdoor chaise furniture is used next to swimming pools, on patios, or even on the lawn. It's not typical to find this style of chair in the great outdoors, like when you go camping or hiking. Who wants to lug around extra weight and a bulky chair when you are in the great outdoors? Afterall, chaises are meant for comfort and ease, that's not why people venture into the mountains and jungles.

There are a few different styles that are used here. You can find teak, wicker, and metal/aluminum chaises. Teak chaises are made of long slender pieces of wood. Together they form the chair. These aren't the most comfortable types around, but they can be improved by adding a nice soft cushion along the chair.

Wicker is similiar to teak. But wicker is more like a vine, or a flexible branch that is woven into the shape of a chair. Some common materials that are made into wicker chaises are bamboo, willow, and reed. This style gives off a tropical feel.

Metal and aluminum chaises are self explanatory. The frames are made of metal. These are often more durable and can support more weight with less material.

Chaise Lounge
This is your typical chaise. It is designed for a single occupant and it has a back rest with one arm that slopes down. Sometimes manufacturers will add extra features, such as a storage compartment, a pull out bed, cup holders, and so forth.

Specific Brand Customer Reviews

How Much Do I Love These?
Strathwood Falkner Chaise Lounge - Let me count the ways: they are elegantly styled, lightweight yet substantial, comfortable, and they look as if they cost 2-3 times the price. I purchased four chaises. They are easy to adjust and look GREAT. While it says that these have a black finish, I think that the color is more of a very dark cocoa brown. Based on other reviews, I decided to buy additional cushions (think end of season clearance at a big box store) to use for "everyday". I'll pull out the light cushions when we have parties. Bottom line: even with shipping, these were a great buy!

Love It!
Strathwood Balboa Deep Seat Chaise with Cushion - I ordered 4 pieces from the strathwood balboa set (armless chair, corner chair, chaise and ottoman to form a sectional) and I LOVE them. I checked out a very similar sectional at Pottery Barn for over $3000 and I'm so glad that I bought this one instead. It arrived on time, in great condition. Amazon service was incredible when one of the pieces was held up, they made sure it arrived on time. It was relatively easy to put together, but did require a little muscle. Once assembled, it is rock solid and really great looking. The cushions are very firm and look terrific in cream, but wont stay clean for long. I don't think they are weather resistant but the whole set is so affordable. I think I'll dye them a taupe or chocolate color to hide the wear. Great furniture, great service, great buy!!!!

Great Dining Set At A Reasonable Price
Premium Wood Outdoor Adjustable Patio Chaise Lounge - Couldn't be happier with the purchase! Lovely teak furniture. Perhaps not quite as solid as what's available through Smith & Hawkin, but certainly comparable at half the price or less. Probably without the same lifetime guarantee, however.
