Pros
  • Available in multiple colors
  • 250-pound weight capacity
Cons
  • No cushion included

Add a little extra color—without going overboard—to your outdoor space with a woven hammock chair that comes in 14 different hues. There's no included cushion, which we'd consider an opportunity to add your own flair.

Pros
  • Comfortably seats two
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • No cushion included

You can't go wrong with a structured macramé bench. We have to admit, though, it looks a little bare as is, so feel free to dress it up with a colorful cushion or fuzzy throw blanket.

If you're looking for something a bit more special than a classic hammock chair, opt for a hanging egg chair, which feels both bohemian and beachy—two looks we can hardly resist. This find from Serena & Lily comes in two colors: a crisp white and a natural rattan, so take your pick—although you can't go wrong with either. It may look delicate, but it's weather-friendly, so feel free to hang it outside.

There's no better place to enjoy warm weather and unwind than on a hanging egg chair with super-plush cushions. Plus, with its contrasting neutral colors, it will work in just about any outdoor space. Yes, it works indoors as well, but it's our personal belief that wicker shines best outside.

Cons
  • Difficult to clean

A white macramé hammock chair is a stylish statement that won't distract from the rest of your decor. This hammock chair, with its

cocoon-like shape and ultra-cozy pillows, is one of the coziest on the list. The extra-long fringe and dark hanging rod don't hurt either.

Pros
  • Hand-made in El Salvador
  • Made using recycled denim
  • Affordable

Cons
  • Hand wash with mild detergent

Last but certainly not least, this upcycled hammock chair, in a soothing denim shade, is hand-made in El Salvador. It was specifically designed to boast a body-cradling shape that envelops you the second you sit down, but it will never cave in on you because of the nifty pine hanging rod.
