Solid Teak Cape Cod Chairs for Relaxed Garden Seating

Cape Cod chairs are made for sitting back rather than sitting upright at a dining table. Their low, angled seats and sloping backs make them a distinctive choice for patios, terraces and quieter corners of the garden.

These stylish, comfortable and beautiful garden chairs are probably the most popular product that we have here at Ottena. Their unique design and seating position give hours of unrivalled comfort when relaxing in your garden. Ask any of our customers that have purchased these cape cod chairs and they will all say that they are some of the best and most comfortable chairs they have ever sat in!

But I hear you say, what is a Cape Cod chair? I want an Adirondack chair, not a Cape Cod chair! Well, to be brutally honest, in our eyes they are the same thing. These stunning chairs have many names from Adirondack, to Muskoka, to Cape Cod, but not to be too blunt, they are the same thing.

At Ottena, you’ll find this style within our teak Adirondack chair collection. Use the guide below to compare a single chair, a chair-and-footstool combination and a set for two.

A practical comparison

Which Cape Cod Garden Chair Arrangement Suits You?

Think about how many people you want to seat, whether you want to put your feet up and where you’ll keep drinks or a book. Allow space for the whole arrangement, rather than measuring only the chairs.

ArrangementWhat it offersWhat to consider
Single chair An individual seat you can position on its own or alongside existing garden furniture. Check the chair’s full width and depth, plus access around it.
Chair with footstool A reclined seat with separate support for your feet. Allow extra depth in front of the chair for the footstool.
Two chairs with coffee table Seating for two with a shared surface for drinks and books. Plan for both chairs, the table and enough room to walk between or around the pieces.
A set with cushions Additional seat padding as part of your chosen combination. Check the cushion quantity and colour options in the individual product listing.
Understanding the design

What Are Cape Cod Chairs?

A Cape Cod chair is a low garden chair with a reclined seat, sloping back and broad armrests. The name is commonly used for the Adirondack style, although individual designs and dimensions vary.

Probably most well known as the Adirondack chair, these stunning chairs get their name from the Adirondack Mountains in New York and have been around now for more than 100 years, having been designed originally back in 1903. The overall popularity of these teak garden chairs, whether they are Adirondack, Muskoka or Cape Cod, is global. The instantly recognisable design with its low seating position and sloping back rest give this chair the instant status of being one of the most recognisable and comfortable garden chairs on the market.

Of course the design and style of the Cape Cod, Adirondack and Muskoka chair will vary slightly between different manufacturers and suppliers, but the bottom line is that these chairs are all based on the same concept. So, whether you are looking for a Cape Cod garden chair or a teak Adirondack, you can be reassured that you will be getting a chair that will provide many, many years of comfort and relaxation as well as looking fantastic in that sunny corner of your garden or patio.

Cape Cod Chairs or Upright Garden Chairs?

Choose the Cape Cod style when you want a low, laid-back seat for relaxing. If you prefer sitting upright, need a chair for a dining table or find low seats difficult to get out of, compare our wider teak garden chair range or ask us for advice before ordering.

How Our Teak Cape Cod Chairs Are Made

Manufactured from sustainably sourced solid teak, our Cape Cod chairs are built not only to look beautiful, but they have been lovingly handcrafted from renewable materials. Our teak Cape Cod chairs are able to cope with whatever the weather can throw at them. We have sold these relaxing teak garden chairs the full length and breadth of the UK, so we are very confident that you will not be disappointed in choosing one of our Cape Cod garden chairs.

Made from sustainably sourced teak from Javanese plantations, our manufacturer builds our Cape Cod chairs using traditional joinery methods. These chairs require some light assembly when they arrive with you. The parts fit together using the supplied fixings; follow the instructions for your chosen product. For help before you begin, see our garden furniture assembly guide.

Why Choose Solid Teak Garden Furniture?

Teak gives these chairs a natural timber finish and the durability needed for outdoor use. Its appearance develops over time: left untreated, the warmer colour gradually changes to silvery grey. Think about which finish you prefer when planning the look of your garden seating.

Plan your garden seating

How Much Space Do Cape Cod Chairs Need?

Check the dimensions of the exact chair or set you’re buying. Cape Cod chairs have a reclined profile, so their overall depth matters just as much as their width.

  • Measure the whole seating area. Include both chairs and any table or footstools you intend to use.
  • Allow room to get in and out. Avoid planning a layout where the furniture fits tightly between walls, planters or other obstacles.
  • Keep a clear walking route. Consider doors, paths and the space needed to move around your seating.
  • Choose a suitable surface. Position the furniture on a stable, level area and check that each piece sits securely.
  • Check the seat style suits you. A low, reclined chair feels different from an upright dining chair. Contact us if seat height or ease of standing is an important consideration.

For a two-chair arrangement, you can position the seats side by side facing the view or angle them towards one another for conversation. Keep enough space around the table for both people to use their chairs comfortably.

From our garden to yours

Personally, having a couple in my own garden for a few years now, I can confidently say there is nothing better after a hard day at Ottena HQ than getting home, grabbing a beer from the fridge and sitting down to watch the sun set in absolute comfort. Bliss.

Complete Your Cape Cod Set with Cushions, Footstools & Tables

To compliment our Cape Cod chairs, we have developed many variations to give our customers a great selection when choosing how they’d like their garden chair set configured. With the addition of our solid teak coffee tables to two of our Cape Cod chairs, we have made a twist on the traditional loveseat set. Rather than having the aggravation of one big bulky piece of teak furniture, our loveseat sets can be moved and repositioned with ease.

To further compliment our Cape Cod chairs, add a teak footstool for even more comfort. It doesn’t stop there: our garden furniture cushions are bespoke and tailormade to fit our Cape Cod chairs. Check your chosen product for the available cushion colours and included pieces.

Choose Accessories to Suit How You Relax

  • Footstools: add somewhere to rest your feet when lounging.
  • Cushions: add padding; check that the cushion is designed for your chosen chair.
  • Coffee tables: keep drinks, books and other essentials within reach.

So, if you are searching for a Cape Cod, Adirondack or Muskoka garden chair, don’t confuse yourself, just remember they are the same thing!

Useful answers before ordering

Cape Cod Chair FAQs: Space, Assembly, Care & Delivery

Practical information to help you choose your teak garden chair and know what to expect.

Are Cape Cod chairs the same as Adirondack chairs?

The names are commonly used for the same recognisable style of garden chair, with a low seat, sloping back and wide armrests. Designs and dimensions vary between manufacturers, so compare the specification of the actual chair you’re considering.

Are Cape Cod chairs suitable for garden dining?

Their low, reclined seating position is intended for relaxing rather than sitting upright at a conventional dining table. If you want chairs for outdoor meals, compare our teak garden chairs and check seat and table heights before ordering.

Can I buy a Cape Cod chair with a footstool?

Yes. Our teak chair and footstool combination pairs a reclined chair with a separate matching footstool. Allow additional space in front of the chair when measuring your seating area.

What is included in a two-chair Cape Cod set?

Contents depend on the combination you choose. Our two-chair loveseat set with coffee table provides separate chairs and a table. Other combinations may include footstools or cushions, so check the included pieces on each product page.

Do Cape Cod chairs need assembling?

Some light assembly is required. Follow the instructions supplied with your chosen product and see our garden furniture assembly guide for further help. Ask our team before ordering if you have a question about a particular chair or set.

Can teak Cape Cod chairs stay outside?

Teak is suitable for outdoor furniture, and our chairs are designed for garden use. Outdoor exposure changes the timber’s appearance over time. Follow our care and maintenance guidance to look after the wood and check cushions separately for their care requirements.

Will the teak turn silver-grey?

Yes. Left untreated outdoors, teak gradually changes from its warmer colour to a silvery-grey appearance. If you prefer to retain a warmer finish, read our care guidance before choosing a treatment.

Are cushions included with every chair?

No. Included accessories vary between products. Check the description of your chosen chair or set to confirm whether cushions are included and which colours are available.

How do I check whether a chair will fit my patio?

Compare your available space with the full dimensions on the product page. Include room for getting into the seat, walking around it and using any footstools or coffee table. Email us your measurements if you would like help comparing arrangements.

What should I check about delivery?

Check the current delivery information for your chosen product before ordering. UK mainland orders over £99 qualify for free standard delivery, with exceptions for islands and some remote Scottish areas. Contact us with your postcode if you’re unsure about your location or have a question about access.
