Product Reviews: The Best Webbed Lawn Chairs

#1. Lawn Chair USA Webbing Chair (Magnum)

The Magnum is the top of the line Lawn Chair USA chair. It is raised 15.5“ off the ground, so it’s just about regular chair height as opposed to beach chair height, and it is a little wider and a little sturdier than the other chairs on this list. With a weight limit of 250 lbs, this chair can support 50 more pounds than the other Lawn Chair USA chairs, though it is a bit heavier than the other chairs. If you or your guests are on the heavier side, this is the best lawn chair available!

Chair Dimensions

• Height of Back: 21.5″
• Seat Width: 20.75″
• Seat Length: 16.5″
• Seat Height from Ground: 15.5“
• Fold Flat Height: 32“
• Total Weight: 4.5lbs
• Weight Capacity: 250lbs

The major feature offered by the Magnum is a larger size than any other chair on our list, and a greater weight capacity. That extra 50 lb is definitely useful for many people who are over 200 lbs, and it brings a little comfort knowing that these can support a lot of weight. While they are heavier than most other chairs at 4.5lbs, these webbed lawn chairs are still quite light and are easily carried when folded. The armrests are made of plastic, which is fine, though we would love to see these made of wood for an even more stylish look. The plastic is maintenance free and extremely light weight, so it’s not a bad choice, regardless. The webbing strips are wide, and there are no significant voids between the strips. This creates an even look and shows the quality of these chairs relative to cheaper chairs that tend to have voids between the web strips. See the Rio Brand chairs below for comparison. The tubular aluminum frame is lightweight and easy to fold, and it sits nicely on uneven, sandy ground without sinking.

#2. Lawn Chair USA Webbing Chair (Deluxe)

The Lawn Chair USA Deluxe webbed chair is a nice, light, comfortable line of folding lawn chairs available in a plethora of stylish colors. These are perfect for the beach, the barbecue, or the campground!

Lawn Chair Features

• Made in the USA!
• UV-resistant webbing
• Lightweight, rust-free aluminum frame
• Tubular leg design makes for great beach usage
• Available in 15 exciting color choices
• Durable plastic armrests

Webbed Chair Dimensions

• Height of Back: 21.5″
• Seat Width: 18.5″
• Seat Length: 16.5″
• Seat Height from Ground: 15.5“
• Fold Flat Height: 32“
• Total Weight: 4.2lbs
• Recommended Weight Limit: 200lbs

The webbing on the Lawn Chair USA Deluxe chair is tightly woven and gives a lot of support to those that sit on it. The Deluxe chair is exceptionally comfortable for a webbed lawn chair while being fairly lightweight. The armrests on these colorful lawn chairs are made of plastic. Given the price, wood would be a little nicer material, but plastic is maintenance-free and lightweight. Lawn Chair USA makes all of its chairs in the United States, and it is not surprising that these chairs sell at a premium compared to some other brands made overseas. However, these chairs are very high quality, and very light, so they are worth the cost. The Lawn Chair USA Deluxe webbed chair is one of the heavier chairs on our list, clocking in at just over 4.2 lbs. If you are planning on lugging this a long way, frequently, we suggest looking at one of the other chairs on the list. Still, it’s only 4 lbs, so it’s not a huge weight, but the weight should be considered. The maximum recommended weight for the Deluxe chair is 200 lbs, and if you or your guests are on the bigger side, you may want to lean toward the Magnum to ensure proper fit. This chair is essentially a high-back version of the picnic chair below.

#3. Lawn Chair USA Webbing Chair (Low Back Beach Chair)

The Low Back Beach Chair is heavily limited in terms of color selection, but for compactness, these low lawn chairs can’t be beat. They sit low to the ground, which is great for beach and lawn use, and the low back makes them super compact when folded up, and quite light to carry! If you’re going to be lugging a chair long distances, this may be your best choice, as it is the lightest chair on our list.

Chair Dimensions

• Height of Back: 16.5″
• Seat Width: 18.5″
• Seat Length: 14.5″
• Seat Height from Ground: 10.5“
• Fold Flat Height: 24“
• Total Weight: 3.2lbs
• Weight Capacity: 200 lbs

With three web color options and three different armrest colors to go with those options, the low beach chair is a classic. These low to the ground chairs are ideal for beach use, as you can have easy access to items around you on the ground without having to reach down too far. The tubular aluminum construction means that they sit nicely on the sand without sinking, and keep those in the chair comfortable and cool. Like all Lawn Chair USA pieces, these units are Made in the USA of top quality materials.

#4. Lawn Chair USA Webbing Chair (High Back Beach Chair)

The Lawn Chair USA High Backed Webbed Patio Chair is perfect for those who are on the taller side, but want to sit low to the ground. These chairs are generally designed for beach use, for those times you want to be lounging by the sand.

Chair Dimensions

• Height of Back: 21.5″
• Seat Width: 18.5″
• Seat Length: 16″
• Seat Height from Ground: 10“
• Fold Flat Height: 25“
• Total Weight: 3.5lbs
• Weight Limit: 200 lbs

The tubular aluminum design means these chairs are ideal for sitting on soft, uneven ground (i.e. sand!). The tubes may sink in the ground a bit but are unlikely to go more than an inch or so into the ground, so you’ll be sturdy and stable, and low to the ground due to the setup of these chairs. The 10“ height of the seat above the ground makes these chairs ideal for picking up items resting on the ground, such as your suntan lotion at the beach, or your Kindle. The seat back is configured for full height on these high back collapsible lawn chairs, which is helpful for those of us that are on the taller end of the spectrum.

#5. Lawn Chair USA Aluminum Webbed Chair (Picnic Chair)

The Picnic Chair design by Lawn Chair USA offers a table-height seat with a low back chair design that makes it perfect for picnics and for use at tables. If you want to be raised up off the ground a bit so you can sit will grilling, or just sit while eating, these chairs are ideal. If you’re on the taller side of things, though, you may want to pick up the Deluxe version for extra back support.

Chair Dimensions

• Height of Back: 16.5″
• Seat Width: 18.5″
• Seat Length: 14.5″
• Seat Height from Ground: 15.5“
• Fold Flat Height: 29.5“
• Total Weight: 3.8lbs
• Weight Capacity: 200lbs

This chair is essentially a low backed version of the Deluxe chair and is great for those who are not particularly tall, or who just want a smaller-sized chair to throw in the car and take on road trips. These webbed patio chairs are nice and light, and can be taken anywhere! The Picnic Chair configuration is only available in a few color choices, which definitely limits the potential fun and creative design possible with an aluminum chair.

#6. Rio Brands BY055A-0138 Aluminum Web Chair, Blue

The Rio Brands Aluminum Web Chair is a good comparison for the Lawn Chair USA’s chairs. You can see that there are significant voids in the chair webbing relative to the Lawn Chair USA line, so you can see this is a lower quality chair. And the price is not very different from Lawn Chair USA’s chairs!

Chair Dimensions

• Height of Back: 17.25″
• Seat Width: 18″
• Seat Length: 15.5″
• Seat Height from Ground: 15.5“
• Total Weight: 5lbs
• Weight Limit: 190 lbs

The Rio Brands aluminum web chair is only available in one color, the blue shown here. It clocks in at a weight of 5 lbs, which is the heaviest chair on our list, yet it only supports 190 lbs, less than any of the Lawn Chair USA chairs. This is largely because of the significant spacing between strips of webbing. Rio Brands wanted to save some coin in their chair construction, so they left some web voids. These shortcuts result in cheaper looking old-fashioned metal lawn chairs, and weaker construction as well. The tubular aluminum frame is similar to the Lawn Chair USA chairs, but it is heavier, which is not a good attribute for portable foldable patio chairs!
