Sidewalk & Sky Outdoor Restaurant Furniture / Topic collection
Teak-look slats, molded resin, synthetic wicker and mesh: these guides compare the outdoor dining chairs a sidewalk or rooftop actually runs on. How each one handles sun and rain, what it weighs when you stack it at midnight, and what it needs to look good next spring.
Pick the material first, then the shape. A chair that drains matters more after a shower than one that looks perfect dry. Read the care notes before you commit to a woven seat, check whether a listing stacks, and order a swatch of the frame color so you can hold it up against your storefront.

Rain at four, first seating at six. Slats drain and solid seats hold water, and on a wet evening that is the whole difference between a dry guest and an apology.
