Our take on the West Elm Portside Outdoor Lounge Chair Frame + Cushion

The West Elm Portside is a deep-seat outdoor lounge chair built on a solid eucalyptus and mahogany frame with a wire-brushed weathered finish, paired with a Sunbrella cushion. Its standout detail is the wide back ledge, sized to hold a drink or a book. The seat is generous at 31.2 inches deep and 29.8 inches wide, so it sits more like a small sofa chair than a dining seat. It is FSC-certified and contract-grade, so it is rated for commercial use as well as patios.

What reviewers say

Owners of West Elm's Portside line generally describe a solid, good-looking wood frame and a deep, comfortable seat. Sunbrella cushions are the most-praised part, holding up to sun and rain. The recurring complaints are assembly effort and the upkeep a wood frame needs outdoors.

Pros
  • Deep, roomy seat that fits tall users
  • Sunbrella fabric holds color and dries quickly
  • Sturdy solid-wood construction
  • Back ledge is genuinely useful
Cons
  • Assembly takes time and two people
  • Wood needs re-oiling to avoid graying and cracking
  • Heavy to move once built
  • Cushions can feel firm at first

Questions and answers

Is the Portside lounge chair worth it?
If you want a deep wood-framed lounge chair with a Sunbrella cushion and a built-in drink ledge, it is a fair buy. You pay a premium over resin or metal chairs, but the solid wood and contract-grade rating are built to last.
Does it come with the cushion?
Yes. This listing is the frame plus cushion, so the Sunbrella seat and back cushion are included. Check the color and weave you pick, since Driftwood, Reef and Weathered Gray pair with different weaves.
How does it hold up in rain?
The Sunbrella cushion is moisture-resistant and quick-drying, and the wood is finished for outdoor use. Still, standing water and constant damp will wear the finish, so bring cushions in during long wet spells and re-oil the frame yearly.
How big is the seat?
The seat is 31.2 inches deep and 29.8 inches wide, with an 18-inch seat height. The full chair is 37 inches wide, 37.3 inches deep and 30 inches high, so plan for a deep footprint.
How hard is assembly?
Assembly is required and most owners need two people, mainly because the solid wood parts are heavy. Expect to spend under an hour with the included hardware.
When is it cheapest?
West Elm runs outdoor furniture sales around Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day, and clearance hits late summer. Watch the price history here rather than buying at full price in spring.
