I am currently looking for a lounge chair for the garden. I often come across chairs with wooden frames and synthetic rattan weaving. Can such a chair simply be left outside? I would like "permanent" chairs (except during autumn/winter) and don’t want to have to put the chairs away every time it rains.

Maybe you have a recommendation for a comfortable chair? I like the Sixties lounge chair by Fermob. The price of 330 euros, however, is not so appealing. 😳

Take a look at Made or Westwing. I've also found some options at Wayfair and the Danish Bed Store.
We got ours from Tchibo.
Many designs tend to have clean lines. Kettler is out of fashion 😉
A Terra canopy would definitely have its advantages.

We bought the HOUE Sunrocker made of aluminum and plastic for my mother’s balcony. It’s small, weather-resistant, extremely comfortable, costs a little over 400€ (about $440), but is definitely good value for money. Almost unlimited color options. It would also be suitable for us, but we’re already well supplied and not frequent buyers.

In our garden, we have the classic TEAK deckchair, available in different qualities starting at around 100€ (about $110). Ours was already in the previous garden and is now well over 12 years old, always kept outside and still as sturdy as on day two. On day one, I had to repair it because the Danish Bed Store in Kaarst refused to exchange it without a receipt. We haven’t bought anything from them since.

That reminds me of another question: Can you read well in lounge chairs without armrests? Or is it better to have armrests for reading?

It’s more a matter of the chair’s design than the presence of armrests.
