The Truth Behind Why Some Garden Chairs Only Last One Season

Every spring, countless homeowners invest in new outdoor furniture with the hope of enjoying long, relaxing summer evenings. Yet by autumn, those once-promising chairs can often become warped, cracked, or faded beyond recognition.

In this blog, we’ll explore why so many garden chairs fail so quickly and reveal why investing in teak garden chairs can transform your outdoor living for decades, not just one season.

Why Do So Many Garden Chairs Fail So Quickly?

The reasons most garden chairs give up after only one season come down to three main issues:

Weak materials:

Many budget chairs are made from softwoods, hollow metals, or plastics. These materials are light and inexpensive but cannot withstand the constant cycle of rain, frost, and UV rays. Within months, they can begin to split, rust, or sag.

Poor craftsmanship:

Shortcuts in production mean weak glued joints, flimsy screws, and quick-fit assembly. While they may look fine on delivery day, they can soon wobble, creak, or collapse under everyday use.

Minimal weather resistance:

Oftentimes, a thin protective coating is the only barrier between the chair and the elements. After that wears away, sun exposure leads to bleaching, while moisture causes swelling, mould, or corrosion.

How Long Should Quality Garden Chairs Really Last?

A quality chair should last far longer than a single summer. Cheap alternatives may only survive a few months to a year, but teak outdoor chairs here at Luxus Home & Garden can endure for 20 to 30 years with very minimal care.

The natural oils and dense structure of teak wood can make it uniquely suited for outdoor living, resisting water, pests, and temperature changes. A quick clean every now and then is all that’s needed to keep them looking pristine.

What Makes Luxus’ Garden Chairs Different?

Natural resilience:

Made from teak wood, our teak garden chairs are exceptionally resistant to water damage, warping, and insects, even when left outdoors year-round. This is due to teak’s high natural oil content and dense grain structure.

Expert craftmanship:

Each chair is constructed using time-honoured joinery techniques and precision finishing. This makes sure the joints remain tight, frames stay strong, and the furniture retains its integrity over decades of use.

Elegant longevity:

Rather than looking tired with age, teak develops a soft silver-grey patina that adds to its charm. Customers who prefer the original golden finish can periodically oil their chairs, giving them complete flexibility over the look.

Designed for generations:

We don’t see garden furniture as seasonal or disposable. Our teak patio chairs and dining sets are created as lasting investments, bringing comfort and refinement to outdoor living year after year.

Don’t Settle for Single Season Outdoor Living

Replacing garden chairs every year is not only expensive, but also disappointing. Your outdoor space deserves better than furniture that gives up at the first sign of weather.
