Placement & Usage Tips
Arrange lounge chairs in pairs or small groupings angled slightly toward each other to encourage conversation. Place them at a distance of 6 to 8 feet from a fire pit for comfortable warmth, and include a side table within arm's reach for beverages.
💡 Pro Tip
Test the chair's recline angle before buying. A seat back angled between 100 and 110 degrees provides the ideal balance between relaxation and the ability to stand up easily, which is especially important for older users or those with mobility concerns.
