Plywood garden armchair - Indoor and outdoor
Plywood armchair for terrace, garden, veranda or living room. Finish with exterior microporous stain or paint required for prolonged outdoor use. Dimensional variations of 2 to 5% possible depending on ambient humidity, inherent to plywood. Storage in a covered and dry space recommended in autumn and winter to preserve the surface. Matching range: plywood sun lounger and table available separately. Clean with clear water, without detergent.
Plywood Garden Armchair - Indoor and Outdoor, Matching 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 plywood sun lounger and table. A protective finish (exterior stain or 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 appear depending on ambient humidity — this is normal behaviour for plywood. If joints become loose, standard wood glue available on the market can be used to resecure 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. For ingrained dirt, use fine-grit sandpaper (150–180 grit) then reapply a protective finish.
Care and protection
In autumn, bring the armchair indoors to a covered and dry place — an unheated room is perfectly suitable. Avoid storing in a damp space (unventilated cellar). Renew the stain or paint every 2 to 3 years. If a joint has loosened 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 outdoors all year round without protection?
Not recommended. Without treatment or winter protection, plywood can delaminate through freeze/thaw cycles and prolonged rain. Bring the armchair indoors in autumn or cover it with a waterproof, breathable cover.
What stain should I apply to this plywood armchair?
An exterior microporous stain (acrylic or alkyd) is perfectly suitable. Lightly sand with 150-grit paper 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 the 2 to 5% variations a manufacturing defect?
No. These dimensional variations are inherent to all wood products subject to fluctuations in humidity. 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 exterior microporous paints. Sand with 150-grit paper, apply a wood primer then your topcoat paint in 2 coats for a durable result.
