Plywood garden armchair – indoor and outdoor use, coordinating range
This plywood armchair is suitable for indoor and outdoor use: on a terrace, in a garden, conservatory or living room. Its plywood construction gives it a structured shape while keeping it lightweight. It belongs to a coordinating range that also includes a plywood sun lounger and table. A protective finish, such as exterior wood stain or paint, is needed for prolonged outdoor use. In autumn and winter, covered, dry storage is recommended to preserve the material.
Changes in dimensions of 2 to 5% may occur depending on ambient humidity – this is normal for plywood. If any joints loosen, they can be secured again with standard wood glue.

Installation advice
Before using the armchair outdoors for the first time, apply an exterior wood stain or breathable paint to every surface and edge. This is essential to limit moisture absorption and changes in dimensions. Clean stains with a damp cloth without detergent. For ingrained dirt, use fine sandpaper (150–180 grit), then reapply a protective finish.
Care and protection
In autumn, move the armchair to a covered, dry place – an unheated room is perfectly suitable. Avoid storing it somewhere damp, such as an unventilated cellar. Reapply the wood stain or paint every 2 to 3 years. If a joint loosens due to changes in humidity, apply wood glue and hold it together with a clamp for 24 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Can this armchair be left outside all year without protection?
Not recommended. Without treatment or winter protection, the plywood may delaminate through freeze–thaw cycles and prolonged rain. Bring the armchair indoors in autumn or cover it with a waterproof, breathable cover.
What wood stain should I apply to this plywood armchair?
A breathable exterior wood stain (acrylic or alkyd) is ideal. Lightly sand with 150-grit sandpaper before application. Apply at least 2 coats, allowing each coat to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Can this armchair be used with standard cushions?
Yes. The armchair’s shape is designed to accommodate standard garden cushions. Choose cushions with a water-repellent cover for outdoor use.
Are changes in dimensions of 2 to 5% a manufacturing defect?
No. These changes in dimensions are inherent to all wood products exposed to changes in humidity. A surface treatment significantly reduces them by limiting the wood’s absorption of water.
Can this armchair be painted a specific colour?
Yes. Plywood can be coated with any breathable exterior paint. Sand with 150-grit sandpaper, apply a wood primer, then two coats of your chosen finishing paint for a durable result.
