Relax in Style this Summer with Outdoor Benches, Lounges and Chairs 

When the weather starts to warm up, there's nothing quite like spending time outside, soaking up the great outdoors. Whether you're reading a book or enjoying the company of friends and family on your outdoor patio, it's essential to have the right seating to make your outdoor living space comfortable.

In this guide, we'll look at some of the best outdoor benches and seating options available at Sam’s Club. With something for everyone, we're sure you'll be able to find the perfect piece of furniture to relax in style this summer!

Outdoor benches

Material choice

Outdoor benches come in a variety of materials. Your choice will depend on your personal style and what kind of look you're going for in your backyard. Three common material choices include:

● Wood: A classic choice, wood benches provide a natural and warm look to any outdoor space. Wood is a best seller, not only because they will last for years to come, but wood patio furniture is available in a variety of grains like eucalyptus, teak, or acacia wood.

● Metal: If you're going for a more modern look, metal outdoor benches are a great choice. These metal benches are available in stainless steel, wrought iron, and cast aluminum—perfect for you to add a touch of sophistication to your backyard.

● Wicker: Wicker benches are perfect if you're looking for something that's both stylish and comfortable. Often used as an excellent portable outdoor patio bench, wicker furniture is versatile, and wicker furniture can give your backyard a relaxed and inviting feel.

● Polywood: Polywood is a highly durable and weather-resistant material made from recycled materials. It is incredibly durable, and its unique look can complement any entryway or outdoor garden space.

Style

When selecting an outdoor bench, it's important to think about what style and function you need. Do you need a storage bench to house outdoor items? Or maybe you want a two-seater Adirondack style chair with armrests for the garden. The vision of what you want to accomplish in your outdoor space will shape the style and function of the bench you purchase.

Location

If you're looking for a bench that will get plenty of sunlight, make sure to choose one that's made of materials that can withstand direct sunlight, like cast iron or Polywood. If you're looking for a shady spot to relax, look for a bench that's placed under trees or can fit under an umbrella.

Outdoor gliders

When you don’t want to choose between comfort and style, an outdoor glider is a great choice! Gliders come in a variety of materials and styles, so you're sure to find one that fits your backyard aesthetic. Gliders can be made out of a steel frame and adorned with pillows, or you can opt for an oversized wooden glider—perfect for a more natural look.

Patio side tables

Of course, you’ll need a place to set drinks, food, or other outdoor décor. That’s where patio side tables come in. When adding a patio side table to your outdoor space, look for tables that match the material of your outdoor furniture for a cohesive look, or mix and match for a more eclectic feel.

Outdoor Living Accessories

Hammocks

Hammocks are another great option for those who want to relax in style this summer. Whether you choose a traditional rope hammock or a hanging chair, there's no better way to enjoy the outdoors than by kicking back and taking in the view from your very own hammock!

Rugs

Rugs are an excellent way to add a pop of color and pattern to your outdoor space. They can also help define different areas, like under dining tables in the dining area or beneath a sectional in a living room. Choose an outdoor rug that is both durable and easy to clean so you can enjoy it for the seasons to come!

Blankets

Adding a few cozy blankets to your outdoor seating area will come in handy on cooler nights or if you ever want to take a nap in the sun.

Rope swing

If you're looking for a fun addition to your backyard, a rope swing is a perfect choice. Rope swings are great for kids and adults alike, and they can add a touch of whimsy to any outdoor space. Perfect to add to a tree or even directly on your porch, these swings are ideal for lazing the day away.

Decor

Don't forget to add some decor items to tie your outdoor space together! Adding some trending and new arrival decor items like wall art, garden figurines, bird feeders, or even throwing pillows on a sofa is an excellent way to show your style and add comfort to any outdoor bench or patio chair.
