A Deep-Seat Chair with an Ottoman or Low Table

A hot trend in outdoor furniture right now is deep seating. Accompanied by low tables, these sets work well for casual dining. Deep-seating frames come in a spectrum of wood, metal or plastic, with removable cushions designed to be fast-drying and mold-resistant.

TIP: While many frames can stay outside year-round with a cover, the cushions will need to come inside during the winter. So make sure you have a storage plan!
