There's no question that cozying up in chairs around a fire pit is one of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors—whether it's a backyard hangout or après-adventure wind-down. Sitting around the fire is at the heart of outdoor living, and it brings many of us together to chat, enjoy a beverage, roast some marshmallows, and stare at the mesmerizing flame while listening to friends tell stories.
A key word here is "sitting," and when it comes to the fire pit, we prefer to do that in a dedicated and well-designed fire pit chair. Logs, rocks, and the ground will always be dependable choices, and sure, you could always drag out the dining chair set, but if you're trying to add a little style to your outdoor space, we've got you covered. For a spacious patio, a tiny urban yard, a perennial campsite, or a cabin rental's backyard, these chair selections will spruce up any fire pit area.
The folding Adirondack Chair might be the icon of fire pit seating, but there are plenty more options beyond that seat. Not to knock the classic design, we love it, and have included some of our favorite takes on the icon in this list. Chosen for their durability, well-made designs, and of course, character and style, the chairs below are portable, collapsible, or lightweight, designed to be permanent or semi-permanent additions around a fire pit that you can easily stored away when the weather gets too cold.
