Front Porch Chair Ideas That Will Last You a Lifetime
Front Porch Chair Ideas That Will Last You a Lifetime
You gently wake up on a lazy Sunday morning to the smell of freshly ground coffee beans and bacon on the griddle. You step into a pair of comfortable slippers and grab your favorite book from the bedside table. You're familiar with this routine ... next you fill a coffee cup and struggle to find where you last placed your glasses. But you inevitably find them and slowly make it to your happy place, your front porch. Where you'll sit, read, sip your coffee and take in a beautiful Sunday morning!
However, the operative word above is, "sit". You can have all other aspects of your Sunday morning prepared, and hot off the stove, but the most important factor in determining your happiness on this delightful morning is not your coffee (although a close 2nd I'd argue), but rather your front porch chairs.
Every homeowner has the same question, "How can I make my front porch more welcoming"? And to us at Phat Tommy, the answer is easy, and it starts with prioritizing your front porch furniture. Nothing is more welcoming than comfortable, eye catching, and durable poly outdoor furniture.
Front Porch Chair Idea #1 - Rocking Chairs
The comfortable 18" rocking chair seat height allows you to easily get up and down when you need to refill your coffee cup
Nothing is more timeless than the classic front porch rocking chair. Sometimes cliches are cliche for a reason. Rocking chairs are a staple for any front porch furniture setup, big or small. The gentle, fluid rocking motion of our poly rocking chairs make this a favorite front porch chair idea. Pair two rocking chairs and a folding side table to create the perfect front porch furniture setup.

Front Porch Chair Idea #3 - Fire Pit Chairs
Fire pit chairs are a hybrid of our classic adirondack chairs - the seat is raised and the chair back does not lean as far back
The Fire Pit Chair is our newest poly outdoor furniture option, however, it boasts the performance of our top-sellers. Like the photo above shows, the fire pit chair looks similar to classic adirondack chairs, but some argue is more comfortable due to it's more upright nature. This unique design upgrade is the perfect front porch chair because it helps facilitate conversation with your loved ones instead of being forced to gaze upwards towards the sky in a classic reclined chair.
Now as the name suggests, the fire pit chair is best paired with ... you guessed it, a fire. Our suggestion is to square up 3-4 of these fire pit chairs around a trendy fire pit table on your porch.
Lastly, for those of you living the remote work from home life, you won't find a better front porch chair to assist you in your day to day work. The durable poly lumber looks like wood but has the added benefit of a nice smooth surface. Couple that with a contoured seat and you'll find yourself burning the midnight oil in these front porch chairs.
