It’s all in the details. Anthropologie’s hanging chair features intricate, swirling rattan designs, so it’s a beautiful seating option both indoors and out. The flowing motifs are reminiscent of a peacock’s showy feathers—hence the name—and you’ll be equally proud to show this baby off.

A reviewer says: "I love may new hanging chair ! It add's such a good vive to my front yard space. The quality is top notch and I was surprised by the level of comfort."

Comfort is a number one priority when it comes to a hanging chair, and this offering’s got it in spades. Inspired by the curved shape of a lobster’s tail, thick seat cushions cradle the body, so you can catch a few z’s while enjoying the great outdoors. The brick-red hue makes for a fun pop of color too.

A reviewer says: "Very comfortable and I used a heavy duty hook ring with a heavy duty rope and a heavy duty spring for some buoyancy. So it shouldn’t be falling anytime soon. The spring does make a little noise when you sit on it and get off but it shouldn’t bug at all because it not a swinging chair says it in the manual. Overall GREAT CHAIR."

Esmlada’s chair is a favorite among the outdoor seat options both for its stylishness and its relative affordability. It’s easy to set up and get started with too, as it comes with its own frame.

A reviewer says: "I like this chair it’s fun to sit in and swing back-and-forth. It’s easy to set up and easily movable. The only thing I would change is the cushion being a little more padded."

Brazil’s design history is a rich one, dotted with big-name modernists like José Zanine Caldas, Joaquim Tenreiro, and Lina Bo Bardi. Interior design firm Hettler-Tüllman took that long aesthetic tradition as inspiration for its CB2 hanging chair, honoring the natural materials and creating a shape that’s an instant front porch classic.

A reviewer says: "There’s nothing like a hanging chair to snap you into relaxation mode, and this one is supremely good at that. The metal frame makes it feel strong and solid, it’s roomy enough to curl up, the Sunbrella cushions are just right, and it’s overall gorgeous. We added a boat shackle so it spins freely. I hesitated because it looked really big in the store, but it’s perfect. If you want to be the most popular place to hang out, get this."

The comparisons between rattan furniture and basket weaving are obvious, but here, the design and crisscrossing patterns make it even more evident, evoking a sense of real craft (and maybe Easter egg hunts too). Great for lazy Sundays—or a Friday afternoon cocktail.

Lounging doesn’t have to break the bank, which is why we love this simple (yet highly rated) rope swing.

A reviewer says: "We purchased this hammock chair to create a cozy reading nook in our daughter’s room, and it has exceeded our expectations! The boho design is absolutely adorable and fits perfectly with her bedroom decor. It comes with two cushions, which is a nice touch, but we added a few more pillows to enhance the hammock-like shape and give it a personalized look. The extra pillows also made it even cozier and allowed us to match the swing to the room’s color scheme.The build quality is excellent—sturdy, durable, and well-made. Setup was incredibly easy, and everything you need for assembly is included. It’s also very functional, serving as both a comfy reading spot and a fun little swing for her to relax in. I love that. It is a large enough seat that can fit her and store her pillows and the cushions and let her spread out and relax. This hammock chair is a fantastic value for the price, and we love that it’s versatile!

Outdoor furniture typically runs the gamut from brown to beige, so it’s refreshing to see a more stark black hue make its mark on the backyard’s sunny vistas. Part swing, part lounge chair, Talenti’s offering is great for parties (or for tapping into your inner goth kid).

For those who want a good lounging option but don’t necessarily want to lie down, a hammock chair is always a good choice. Put it under a tree, on a porch, or even in a playroom, and you will have the perfect reading chair.

A reviewer says: "I love our hammock so much! It is so comfortable and washes very well in the washing machine. I love the colors and the design is just perfect."
