Wooden patio chairs may outwardly seem like a boring investment, an afterthought if you will. But, when your dogs are aching, they're like a little slice of heaven. Beyond that, wooden patio chairs are a natural looking way to beautify your outdoor living space. Besides their outward charm, woods used in outdoor furniture are especially durable to weather exposure. Teak, for instance, is extremely hearty hardwood, while the tannins produced in cedar naturally repel fleas and moths. As far as look, there are four main designs of wooden patio chairs, and each has its pronounced benefits.
Loungers
Loungers are like wooden patio chairs that have been stretched out. You can typically find them on back decks or lining the outside of swimming pools. Because of their long seats, the user can recline completely, great for tanners and quick naps al fresco. Historically, the lounger comes from the 18th century French chaise longue, an upholstered chair for indoor use with a simple curved backrest and extra long seat so that the user can elevate his or her feet. Many outdoor loungers have an adjustable back, allowing you to sit upright, or recline completely.

Adirondacks
The next model of wooden patio chairs comes to from right here in the USA. This classic piece of American craftsmanship was created at the turn of the 20th century in upstate New York. Adirondack wooden patio chairs are known for their unmistakable low, curved seats, their tall, angled backrests, and their wide, oversized armrests. The original idea was for these chairs to be able to sit comfortably on sloped hillsides, but it turned out that they were comfortable in any environment, and even provided some much appreciated lumbar support. The armrests also came to have another useful purpose, for holding drinks and food. This in turn threatened the usefulness and overall need for a table. Throughout the century, there have been modified variations, but this original design remains the most functional and popular, although adjustable Adirondack chairs are one innovation that has stuck.
Folding Chairs
Folding wooden patio chairs can vary slightly in look but overall they're relatively basic in form. They can either have armrests or no armrests, a simple back and slatted seat, and four post legs. As the name would imply, what separates the folding chair from a typical wooden chair is just that, its ability to fold up. The moving mechanism is either a hinge that folds the seat and the back together, or a sliding track on the bottom of the seat along which the legs pull out to a standing position.
There are two major advantages to something as simple as a folding armchair. First, they are space-saving. Folding chairs are able to compact to half the size of normal chairs, meaning they take up much less room on decks, in garages, and in storage. That also means you have room to own more of them, which means all the additional seating you will need at parties and large gatherings. The second reason folding chairs are great is because they're light and mobile. Fold them up and toss them in the backseat or trunk of a car. They're the perfect companion on camping trips and short getaways.
Rockers
The final category of wooden patio chairs is the iconic rocking chair. Rockers are simply modified basic wooden chairs, with the addition of curved wooden rockers that attach the legs on each side, giving the chair a rocking motion along a central arc. In the same category are gliders, which can look nearly identical in design. The difference lies in the moving mechanism; in a glider the seat glides along a track, so the motion is a back and forth gliding, rather than an up and down rocking. Rockers are classic choices for old-time charm. They epitomize lazy summer days, and rocking the hours away on the porch. Plus, rocking has proven health benefits, too. It is shown to reduce the appearance of varicose veins, promote better moods, help with concentration, and soothe fussy infants.
