Swivel or dining-style chairs for patio furniture?

Which do you prefer? This would be for a dining set in cast aluminum that looks like wrought iron and would be used on a wooden deck (not a patio). I like the look of dining chairs (i.e., with legs) because I prefer a traditional style with my old house, but I'm wondering if swivel chairs would be more comfortable and practical on a deck (no legs to get caught in the cracks). Opinions?
One more thing -- swivel chairs cost about twice as much as dining chairs.


I agree with the person who suggested a mix of the 2 kinds of chairs if you have a table large enough for 6 chairs. If you are just getting four chairs, having them all the same will probably look better. Swivel chairs can be very comfortable for just sitting, but I always feel like I have to lean forward uncomfortably to eat at the table because they tend to tilt back slightly. So it really depends, are you planning on using the set mostly for sitting at the table and eating, or for sitting and relaxing? I've never had a problem with the legs on non-swivel chairs getting caught in the deck cracks--but it is something to consider if the cracks on your deck are wider, or the legs are particularly small. Hope you enjoy your deck this summer!

    With more and more people moving from large, suburban homes to smaller, more urban locations, outdoor space is at an even higher premium than it was before. The English are world famous for taking postage stamp sized lawns and patios and turning them into veritable showplaces.

    With more and more people moving from large, suburban homes to smaller, more urban locations, outdoor space is at an even higher premium than it was before. The English are world famous for taking postage stamp sized lawns and patios and turning them into veritable showplaces. If you are looking for the ultimate touch for any patio, balcony or outdoor space, you may want to consider the lasting quality of bar stools. Not only are they light and easy to move from outdoors to indoors, they are durable, beautiful and designed specifically for multi-location use. If you are in the market for outdoor bar stools, keep the following things in mind.

    First, you want to make sure that your indoor/outdoor stools are light and easy to move. This is one of the major advantages that bar stools have over traditional kitchen or dining room chairs. No one would ever consider moving their dining room chairs out onto the patio, but the idea of shuttling bar stools back and forth seems perfectly logical. Many of today’s best models, including some of the most expensive designs on the market, are very light and can be moved one at a time or even two at a time by almost anyone. This is especially important when rain clouds suddenly open and you need to move things quickly.
