The most comfortable luxury teak beach chair ever made. Built to last decades and turn heads wherever you take it - from beach to backyard, sideline to sunset.

Product Details & Care

Dimensions: 31" H x 27" L x 23.25" W. Sits 11" off the ground from front of seat to the ground.

Wood Type: FSC Certified Teak (Grade A), with natural oil coating. Because wood is a natural material, each chair will have its own unique wood grain. Natural color and wood grain variation will occur. This is what makes the materials we use and the products we design both distinct and beautiful.

Weight: 10.5lbs. The lightest wood beach chair out there. Equipped with removable Two-Way Carry straps for either backpack or single shoulder carry.

Hardware: Marine-grade stainless steel with brass plating for ultimate corrosion resistance.

Rope Material: 100% Recycled Polyester from old fishing nets and other post-consumer waste

What's in the box: The Shorebird Chair arrives fully assembled with the following items:

  • Shorebird Chair Frame
  • Removable Fabric-Back (attached)
  • Removable Two-Way Carry Straps (attached)
  • Closure Strap (attached)
  • 100% Curbside Recyclable Box
  • Printed & Digital Use Instructions

Weight Capacity: Weight tested up to 250lbs

Care Instructions:To prolong the life of the chair, store inside when not in use. Allow the chair & fabric to dry completely before storing away. Store in dry, non-humid environments when not in use. Spot clean with soap and warm water and let air dry. If using/storing in humid environments or for continuous outdoor use, we highly recommend treating the fabric with a natural, non-toxic treatment. Here is a link to a natural treatment that we recommend (discount for Shorebird customers when purchased through this link).

Your questions, answered

Product Features

What makes the Shorebird Chair different?

The Shorebird Chair was designed to elevate how you unwind — with every detail intentionally crafted for comfort, longevity, and ease.

Personalized Comfort: Unlike traditional outdoor chairs, the Shorebird Chair features a patent-pending Custom Recline System that lets you adjust to any angle so you can find the exact angles that are most comfortable to your unique body type and preferences.

No-Crossbar design: We removed all traditional crossbars that typically are behind your head or under your legs on traditional chairs. By removing these crossbars on the Shorebird Chair, it provides an incredibly comfortable and supportive sitting experience for all day comfort.

Replaceable Fabric: Our modular, replaceable fabric system means your chair stays in use longer and can be refreshed season after season — minimizing waste while maximizing lifespan. Easily refresh your look with a new color with our Fabric Replacement options.

Premium Material Choice: We use FSC certified grade-A Teak, marine-grade hardware, and natural canvas or 100% recycled performance fabrics — all chosen for their low environmental impact and long-term durability. These premium materials not only age beautifully, but are also built to withstand the elements without compromising style.

Lightweight & Portable: As the lightest wood beach chair on the market, the Shorebird Chair is designed to move with you and is equipped with our removable Two-Way Carry system (wear like a backpack or single shoulder strap) — so you can go from the beach to the park, to bonfires to the boat.

Designed to fit into any space or aesthetic: We designed the Shorebird Chair to fit into every aspect of your life, while also blending in to your curated aesthetic of your home. From the beach, to your backyard, to your boat, to the sideline at your child's game, to outdoor concerts, picnics at the park, and everywhere in between.

How many angles can I recline to?

The limit does not exist. Our patent-pending Custom Recline system allows you to recline to the exact angles most comfortable to your unique body type and comfort preferences. Simply remove the rope from the cleat, adjust to your desired position, secure the rope back into the cleat, and sit back and relax.

Is the fabric removable?

Yes, our patent-pending Replaceable Fabric System is designed for easy replacement without any tools. Replacement Fabric for your Shorebird Chair are available for purchase separately, extending your Shorebird Chair's life and allowing you to refresh your style without replacing the entire chair.

This sustainable design reduces waste and ensures your chair can last for generations. By using natural or recycled materials for the fabric, each fabric used on the Shorebird Chair is the equivalent to preventing 41+ new plastic bottles from entering the supply chain.

Are there crossbars?

No! Unlike other luxury beach chairs, the Shorebird Chair was designed with no crossbars behind your head or under your legs so you can relax with ultimate comfort all day long.

How much does it weigh and is it portable?

Weighing only 10.5 lbs, the Shorebird Chair is the lightest wood beach chair out in the market, and up to 30% lighter than traditional wood beach chairs. The Shorebird Chair is equipped with removable two-way carry straps. Wear as a backpack, carry one on each shoulder with a single should strap, or simply remove the carry straps entirely to make it an at-home staple.

The Shorebird Chair easily folds up and lies flat for easy storage.

Can you repair the chair over time?

Yes! The chair was designed to be modular for ease of repair/replacement to last you a lifetime.

Are there armrests?

Yes! The ropes that are integral to our patent-pending Custom Recline System become taught when you lean back when secured in the cleat, providing very comfortable and supportive armrests.

If there was ever a 5 star chair

If there was ever a 5 star chair, this is definitely it. Ordered based on their ads so there was some scepticism on the comfort and quality. The design looked amazing though so figured I would roll the dice. Chairs showed up this week and WOW...... They are amazing comfortable, the quality and materials are absolutely 1st class and the design is perfect. Every detail of this chair has obviously been meticulously pored over. It's just a chair right? Yeah, but every now and then someone puts something into the world that is worth noting. This chair and it's creator deserve the praise. Bravo!

Shorebird Chair was EVERYTHING you claimed it to be! I really like the overall construction, functional vibe and quality. Looking forward to you coming out with some cool options for the linen replacements when needed. I plan on using not just for the shore but already in beautiful mountain/nature areas for fall. Thank you again for all the service follow up as well.

Seriously the Most Comfortable Chair I've Ever Sat In and a Great Upgrade To my Outdoor Space

Without a doubt, the Shorebird chair is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting in! I’ve placed it on my balcony, and it’s quickly become my go-to spot for all my favorite moments. Whether I'm sipping my morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, the chair is unparalleled comfort.

I love how I can easily adjust the recline with the pulley system to suit my mood. I can spend hours lounging in it without ever feeling uncomfortable, which is something I’ve never been able to say about a chair before.

The design is super sleek and quality, but also very sturdy. The wood and natural fabric has such a nice, clean and minimalist aesthetic that fits perfectly with the beach vibe I have going on. The cup holder perfectly fits both my coffee cup and wine glass, making it all the more convenient. And the fluffy towel adds the perfect touch of style and color to the mix!

The Shorebird chair has transformed my outdoor space and my daily routine. It’s stylish, comfortable, and a true joy to use. If you’re looking for a chair that blends relaxation and design effortlessly, I highly recommend it!

delivery took like 4 months

delivery took like 4 months. Also I added on the cup holder and it doesn't match. I would not recommend

Hi John, thank you for your feedback. Your order was part of our June pre-order batch (noted on the product page when ordering), which is why your order shipped in June rather than at the end of March when you pre-ordered. By pre-ordering you locked in pre-order pricing and secured your allotment from a batch that has since sold out. Our Cup Holder is currently only offered in our Natural Canvas colorway which is shown at checkout - we hear you on color matching, and expanded colorways for our Cup Holder are on our roadmap. Thank you again, we're grateful to have you as part of the Shorebird community and please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything we can assist with in the meantime - we're always here to help!

Totally worth the wait

I will start with the fact I was a bit hesitant when they said it was a pre-order and that they sell out fast. I was also unsure when there was a delay due to quality control. Ok I was wrong. I have been a beach bum my whole life and have had many beach chairs. I bought this a ms a treat for myself. Well worth the wait. It was everything that was in the ad. I can’t recommend the chair enough. Every email I sent was answered quickly . Want a chair that looks to last for the rest of your life. This is it. Buy it and enjoy it. You will not regret that you did. I know I don’t. Absolutely LOVE this chair

I was looking for a beach chair that wasn't just another pile of plastic and aluminum

I was looking for a beach chair that wasn't just another pile of plastic and aluminum. Something classy and comfortable that would last. Well, I found it with Shorebird. From the teak wood to the brass jam cleat to the canvas, Shorebird chairs are beautifully crafted. Most importantly, they are comfortable AF! You need to get one (or more:) You will not regret it.

And, their customer service is top notch to boot.

Perfect for a Southern Cal gal

This was an amazing gift that I use almost everyday here in Southern Cal. The chair has substance but is not a burden to carry and it is so comfortable. I love the adjustable ropes to get the perfect recline. Wish I had 3 more to share with my friends. Super nice team at Shorebird!!

My wife and I get numerous compliments on these high end beach chairs and I’m more than happy to rave about them. They weigh only a bit more than the typical aluminum chair, and the fabric seat is the most comfortable.
I recommend a “double cup holder” - order one for each arm as you may want to use one for your phone and one for - your drink…
Great functional product and the high quality look will make you the envy of your beach.

Take a Seat, Take Control: My Shorebird Revelation

I recently purchased a Shorebird chair and I love it! The chair is extremely comfortable, providing great support for hours of lounging. I'm no longer restricted to the limited notches found on almost every other beach chair. The angle at which I choose to sit is COMPLETELY up to me. With typical beach chairs, like the popular Tommy Bahama, you’re stuck with preset angles, designed by someone you’ll never meet. The Shorebird lets you choose exactly how you want to sit, whether it’s just a degree or two back or almost fully reclined. With a shorebird chair you make the rules! If you’re tired of “one-size-fits-some” beach chair lounging, I highly recommend the Shorebird chair. It’s a game-changer for anyone who values comfort and control over how they relax outdoors!

Heirloom Quality Beach Chair

Great example of raising the bar on a beach chair. I truly like the out-of-the-box thinking. I consider this a heirloom quality item.

Worth every penny

I hesitated a bit at first because of the price, but after using the Shorebird Chair I can say it’s absolutely worth it. The build quality is a cut above anything else I’ve owned and you can tell they put a ton of thought into the smallest details. It’s incredibly comfortable - the recline feature is a game changer, and no crossbars digging into your legs is amazing. I’ve used it at the beach, at the lake, and even at home when we’ve needed extra seating for guests. It looks great anywhere, and I’ve actually had friends compliment it when they’ve seen it at our place. This is the kind of chair you buy once and keep for years. Incredibly well done - there's no other chair out there that even comes close!
