Lastly, some chairs have been known to develop cracks in their frames. This usually happens over time and with extensive use from sun exposure.

What type of chair should I buy for my space?

If your deck or porch has a high ceiling then an armchair would work well with its lower back height (this allows more headroom). If there is a lower ceiling then the armchair will be overwhelming.

Ottomans work well for small spaces and are often more affordable than chairs. They can also double as extra seating when needed or used as footrests/coffee tables.
