Plywood garden armchair – Indoor and outdoor
Plywood armchair for terrace, garden, veranda or living room, finish to be personalised with stain or paint. Slight dimensional variations of 2 to 5% possible depending on humidity — normal for this type of material. Storage in a covered and dry space recommended in autumn and winter. Coordinated range: plywood sun lounger and table. Clean with clear water using a damp cloth; avoid detergents to preserve the surface.
Plywood Garden Armchair – Indoor and Outdoor, Coordinated Range
This plywood armchair is suitable for indoor and outdoor use: terrace, garden, veranda or living room. Its plywood construction gives it a structured shape while remaining lightweight. It belongs to a coordinated range that also includes a sun lounger and a table in plywood. A protective finish (stain or exterior paint) is required for prolonged outdoor use. In autumn and winter, storage in a covered and dry space is recommended to preserve the material.
Dimensional variations of 2 to 5% may occur depending on ambient humidity — this is normal behaviour for plywood. If joints loosen, standard wood glue available on the market can be used to tighten them.

Installation advice
Before first outdoor use, apply an exterior stain or microporous paint to all faces and edges of the armchair. This step is essential to limit moisture absorption and dimensional variations. Clean stains with a damp cloth without detergent. If dirt is ingrained, use fine sandpaper (150–180 grit) then reapply a protective finish.
Maintenance and protection
In autumn, bring the armchair into a covered and dry area — an unheated room is perfectly suitable. Avoid storage in a damp space (unventilated cellar). Renew the stain or paint every 2 to 3 years. If a joint loosens due to humidity variations, apply wood glue and hold under pressure with a clamp for 24 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Can this armchair be left outside all year round without protection?
Not recommended. Without treatment or winter protection, plywood can delaminate through freeze/thaw cycles and prolonged rainfall. Bring the armchair in during autumn or cover it with a waterproof and breathable cover.
Which stain should be applied to this plywood armchair?
A microporous exterior stain (acrylic or alkyd) is perfectly suitable. Sand lightly with 150-grit sandpaper before application. Apply at least 2 coats with drying time between each coat as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Is this armchair compatible with standard cushions?
Yes. The shape of the armchair is designed to accommodate standard garden cushions. Choose cushions with a water-repellent treated cover for outdoor use.
Are variations of 2 to 5% a manufacturing defect?
No. These dimensional variations are inherent to all wood products subjected to humidity changes. A surface treatment significantly reduces these variations by limiting water absorption by the wood.
Can this armchair be painted in a specific colour?
Yes. Plywood accepts all microporous exterior paints. Sand with 150-grit sandpaper, apply a wood primer then your topcoat paint in 2 coats for a durable result.
