At Fortunoff Backyard Store, we understand that outdoor seating shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. People come in all shapes and sizes, and your backyard furniture should reflect that. That’s why we offer thoughtfully designed collections with deeper seats, stronger frames, wider armrests, and tested durability—so everyone can relax with confidence. Below, we’ll walk you through what to look for in big and tall outdoor furniture, along with our favorite big and tall patio furniture picks.

Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their body and furniture regardless of height or build. That's where big and tall deck furniture comes in. When shopping for outdoor furniture for taller people or anyone who prefers extra room keep a few features in mind:

1. Seat Depth and Height

Check the dimensions of prospective furniture whether shopping online or in-store for seat heights between 18-22 inches and depths ranging from 23-24 inches. Many collections will also include special callouts for features like waterfall seats, high-back chairs, and extra-deep seating. We recommend patio furniture with these traits for the most leg and back support during prolonged sitting.

2. Weight Capacity

Durable construction is key. Check the published weight rating for each item.Check for materials with fully-welded frames like our cast aluminum, resin wicker, polymer, and extruded aluminum patio sets for reliable and sturdy support systems.

3. Wider Armrests and Frames

For a roomier fit, wider chairs with generous spacing offer more comfort and less restriction. Chairs with armrests 4 inches wide or more are generally more comfortable and add support for broader shoulders and longer legs.

The Fairmont backyard furniture collection features sling chairs with high backs, ergonomic curves, and a flexible yet supportive surface—making it perfect for guests of all sizes. The armless chair design also allows for easier movement and added space.

This Soho cushioned patio furniture collection combines modern flair with generous proportions. The thick, comfortable cushions are extra wide and deep—ideal for lounging longer.
