The Portside Swivel Chair brings the easy comfort of your favorite DUX Duck Chair into a smooth 360‑degree swivel, making porch conversations feel natural from every angle. Inspired by Charleston’s welcoming, “never met a stranger” spirit, it lets you turn toward friends, views, or the next story without shifting the chair itself. A supportive seat, flexible slats, and integrated drink holders keep you relaxed, while marine‑grade Starboard ST and stainless steel hardware ensure it looks and feels solid season after season—all topped with the iconic DUX duck‑head finial.

Motion: Gentle, 360‑degree swivel on 1/4" thick 316 stainless hardware with a sealed bearing—smooth, stable rotation without wobble.
Comfort: Flexible back and seat slats, raised seat height, and a softened front edge for long, easy sitting (even in shorts).
Convenience: Built‑in sliding cup holder, wine glass holder, and pivoting phone holder discreetly under each armrest—always included. The phone holder uses two open rails instead of a cup‑style well, so water can’t collect and damage your phone, and its pivoting design lets you angle the screen where you want it.
Organization: Integrated accessory keeper on the back of the chair provides a dedicated spot to store your cup holder, wine glass holder, or phone holder when not in use, so they stay with the chair instead of getting misplaced.
Construction: Mortise‑and‑tenon joinery, T‑slot arm connections, and countersunk stainless screws for clean lines and long‑term strength.
Materials: Marine‑grade Starboard ST HDPE and stainless fasteners—no rot, splinters, rust, or refinishing.
Signature detail: Finished with the iconic DUX duck‑head finial for a playful, instantly recognizable DUX look.

32” wide x 32” tall x 32” deep

Details & Craftsmanship

The Portside Swivel Chair was designed with Charleston porch culture in mind—where conversations naturally flow and guests are welcomed from every direction. Instead of dragging a chair to face different people or views, the Portside lets you pivot smoothly in place, offering a gentle 360‑degree turn that feels controlled and reassuring rather than loose or wobbly. The underlying geometry borrows from the proven DUX Duck Chair, combining a comfortable seat height with an easy, open posture that works for everything from morning coffee to evening gatherings.

Ergonomically, the chair uses flexible seat and back slats that introduce a measured amount of give, so the surface conforms slightly instead of feeling rigid. Sculpted shaping in the seat lets your hips settle comfortably, and a rounded front seat edge protects the backs of your legs—especially important when you sit in shorts or light summer clothing. The raised, grounded stance makes sitting and standing easy for a wide range of guests, while DUX feet help keep the chair stable on decking, stone, or firm ground.

Structurally, the Portside Swivel Chair reflects the same old‑world craftsmanship found across your line. The frame is assembled with mortise‑and‑tenon‑style joinery and countersunk stainless steel screws, creating a strong, furniture‑grade structure with clean, finished surfaces. The arms attach through a unique T‑slot system, which increases stability and resists loosening over time. The swivel mechanism itself is built from 1/4" thick 316 marine‑grade stainless steel with a sealed bearing, chosen specifically to withstand outdoor conditions without rusting or seizing.

The entire chair—seat, back, and frame—is fabricated from marine‑grade Starboard ST HDPE, a UV‑stable, non‑porous material trusted by yacht builders for components constantly exposed to sun, salt, and moisture. It will not rot, warp, delaminate, or splinter, and its color runs through the material instead of sitting as a surface coating, eliminating peeling or flaking paint. Maintenance is minimal: a quick rinse or mild soap wash keeps it looking sharp, with no need for refinishing or seasonal storage.

Thoughtful DUX details are integrated from the start. Under each armrest, a built‑in cup holder and dedicated wine glass holder keep drinks close at hand without cluttering the profile. DUX feet at the base add a subtle visual lift and help prevent the legs from sinking into softer ground. At the top, the iconic DUX duck‑head finial crowns the back, tying the Portside Swivel Chair into the broader DUX family and signaling authentic, founder‑built outdoor furniture. Handcrafted in the mountains of Grayson County, Virginia, it brings together Lowcountry charm, Appalachian craftsmanship, and everyday usability in a swivel chair you’ll actually use—and enjoy—for years.

Care and Maintenance:

Routine cleaning: Rinse with a hose, then wipe with mild soap and water. For tougher grime, use a non‑abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or soft nylon brush. Avoid excessive scrubbing pressure to preserve the matte finish.
Stain removal: For persistent stains, let a diluted bleach solution sit briefly, then rinse thoroughly. Citrus cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, or mineral spirits can help with grease and sunscreen; test in a small area first.
Scratch care: Light surface scuffs can often be minimized with automotive silicone spray or furniture polish; do not use on walking surfaces. Deep gouges are cosmetic and do not affect performance.
No refinishing required: Starboard ST is UV‑stabilized, color‑through material that won’t peel or flake, and it cannot be painted. Keep wood oils (e.g., teak oil) and wood stains away from the surface.
Hardware check: Rinse salt and pollen periodically. Inspect 316 stainless fasteners seasonally; tighten if needed.
Pressure washing: Safe when used at moderate pressure and distance; avoid aggressive tips held close to the surface.
Seasonal care: No storage or sealing required. If storing, keep pieces clean and dry, and avoid heat above 180°F.
General setup: Place on level surfaces to reduce uneven wear on rocker rails or feet. Lift to move—don’t drag across abrasive concrete.
