HiTeak Grande Teak Club Chair with Sunbrella Cushions

This FSC-certified Grade A teak chair features a spacious 27-inch seat depth and wide 23-inch armrests, accommodating full-size adults who want to curl up with a book or stretch out for afternoon naps.

What Is an Outdoor Club Chair?

An outdoor club chair is a deep-seated lounge chair designed for relaxation rather than dining, featuring wide armrests and substantial dimensions that invite extended sitting. Unlike standard patio dining chairs, outdoor club chairs typically offer seat depths of 24 inches or more and lower seat heights around 15 inches for a lounging posture. Also known as outdoor lounge chairs or patio club chairs, they're best for covered patios, pool decks, and outdoor living rooms where comfort takes priority over space efficiency.

What You Get With the HiTeak Grande Teak Club Chair

1. FSC-Certified Grade A Teak Construction -- HiTeak sources only the highest oil-content teak that naturally resists rot, insects, and moisture without chemical treatments. The dense grain structure and high silica content provide decades of outdoor durability, while the FSC certification ensures responsible forest management practices that matter to environmentally conscious buyers.
2. Extra-Deep 27-Inch Seat Depth -- Most outdoor chairs offer 20-22 inch seat depths that feel shallow for full-size adults. The Grande's 27-inch depth lets you sit with your back against the cushion and still have room to bend your knees comfortably, or stretch your legs out straight for true lounging comfort.
3. Wide 26-Inch Seat Width with Generous Armrests -- The spacious seat accommodates side-sitting, curled-up positions, or simply provides room to move without feeling confined. The wide armrests function as built-in side tables for books, drinks, or tablets, eliminating the need for additional furniture in tight spaces.
4. 4-Inch Thick Sunbrella Cushions -- Genuine Sunbrella fabric resists fading, water, and mildew while maintaining softness through years of weather exposure. The 4-inch thickness provides substantial comfort without the mushiness that plagues thinner outdoor cushions, and the quick-dry construction prevents waterlogging during rain.
5. Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Hardware -- All bolts, screws, and connecting hardware use 316-grade stainless steel that won't rust or corrode even in coastal saltwater environments. This attention to hardware quality prevents the joint failures that plague cheaper outdoor furniture after 2-3 seasons of weather exposure.
6. Hand-Sanded Natural Finish -- The chair arrives with a warm golden honey finish that weathers naturally to silver-grey over 6-12 months of outdoor exposure. This natural aging process is part of teak's appeal -- no staining or sealing required, and the weathered patina adds character while maintaining structural integrity.
7. 250-Pound Weight Capacity -- The substantial teak construction and marine-grade joinery support up to 250 pounds safely, accommodating most adults without flexing or creaking. This capacity rating reflects real-world testing, not just theoretical calculations based on wood strength.
8. Simple Assembly with Included Hardware -- Ships partially assembled with clear instructions and all necessary hardware. Most buyers complete setup in 30-45 minutes using basic tools, with the main assembly involving attaching the legs and positioning the cushions.

How to Plan Your Outdoor Club Chair Space

The Grande Club Chair measures 30 inches wide by 32 inches deep, requiring a floor space of approximately 36 inches by 38 inches when you account for the chair's footprint plus room to sit down comfortably. Allow at least 30 inches between club chairs for comfortable movement, or position them 6-8 feet apart facing each other to create a conversation grouping with space for a coffee table or fire table between them.

For covered patios and screened porches, plan 18 inches of clearance in front of the chair for leg extension and 24 inches on at least one side for easy entry and exit. The chair's 23-inch arm height works well with standard outdoor coffee tables (16-18 inches high) and most fire tables (18-20 inches high), allowing comfortable reach for drinks and snacks.

Deep seat outdoor chairs like the Grande work best on covered patios, pool deck lounging areas, screened porches, and rooftop terraces where the focus is relaxation rather than active dining or conversation. The low 15-inch seat height (including cushion) creates a lounging posture that's ideal for reading, napping, or casual conversation but may feel too low for formal entertaining.

How to Style Your Teak Club Chair Space

Teak's natural warmth pairs beautifully with earthy outdoor textiles and natural materials. Position the Grande on a large outdoor rug that extends at least 18 inches beyond the chair on all sides -- this anchors the seating area and defines the relaxation zone. Add coordinating throw pillows in complementary Sunbrella fabrics to tie the space together and provide extra lumbar support for extended reading sessions.

For single chair placement, flank with tall outdoor planters containing palm-like plants or ornamental grasses that echo the tropical feeling of teak furniture. A small side table or garden stool provides surface space for books and beverages without blocking the view or conversation flow.

When creating conversation groupings, pair two Grande chairs with a teak coffee table or contemporary fire table positioned 30-36 inches apart. This spacing allows comfortable conversation while providing shared surface space for entertaining. Consider adding outdoor wall art to covered patio walls to create a finished, indoor-outdoor living room feel that photographs well for social media and adds visual interest during the day.

Ideal for homeowners with covered patios or pool areas who prioritize deep-seat comfort over space efficiency and appreciate furniture that develops character through natural weathering. Interior designers specifying transitional outdoor furniture for vacation rental properties and model homes will find the Grande's substantial construction and classic proportions photograph well while handling guest turnover without showing wear. Well-suited for boutique hotels and resort pool decks seeking authentic teak furniture that signals quality -- the natural weathering process eliminates the maintenance concerns of trying to preserve a "new" finish in commercial settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the teak turn grey, and should I oil it to prevent weathering?

Yes, the teak will naturally weather from golden honey to silver-grey over 6-12 months of outdoor exposure. This weathering is considered desirable and doesn't affect the wood's durability. You can oil the teak annually with teak oil to slow the greying process, but it's not necessary for protection -- the natural oils in Grade A teak provide weather resistance regardless of color.

Are the Sunbrella cushions included, and what's the fabric warranty?

Yes, 4-inch thick Sunbrella cushions are included in your choice of Canvas, Charcoal, Fawn, Fern Green, or Navy. Sunbrella offers a 5-year warranty against fading and a 3-year warranty against fabric deterioration. The cushions are designed to stay outdoors year-round in most climates, though storing them during harsh winter weather extends their lifespan.

How does this compare to teak club chairs from Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn?

The Grande uses FSC-certified Grade A teak with marine-grade stainless steel hardware, while many mass-market teak chairs use lower-grade teak with standard hardware that rusts within 2-3 seasons. The 27-inch seat depth is also deeper than most competitors' 24-25 inch depths, providing more comfortable lounging positions for tall adults.

Can these chairs stay outside year-round in northern climates?

Yes, Grade A teak and marine-grade hardware handle freezing temperatures, snow, and ice without damage. However, storing the Sunbrella cushions indoors during winter extends their lifespan and prevents compression from snow loading. The teak frame can remain outside in all weather conditions.

Is there a trade discount for interior designers?

Yes, LOOMLAN's trade program offers up to 40% off retail with no minimum order requirement and approval in 1-2 business days. This compares favorably to CB2's 25% trade discount with a $1,000 minimum order. Apply at https://loomlan.com/pages/loomlan-trade-program for immediate access to trade pricing.

What's the assembly process and how long does it take?

The chair ships with legs detached for efficient shipping. Assembly involves attaching four legs with provided bolts and positioning the seat and back cushions. Most customers complete assembly in 30-45 minutes using a wrench and screwdriver. All hardware is included along with clear step-by-step instructions.
