We are obsessed with this $355 CB2 patio chair look-alike

Shopping experts at CBS Essentials I love a good furniture look-alike, one that’s a more affordable version of what’s sold at a high-end retailer. This week at affordable imitators, we’re featuring the $355 AllModern Louise Patio Chair, which looks almost exactly like the $719 CB2 Sunset Teak Lounge Chair.

Look at the side-by-side comparison image above: can you tell them apart?

The AllModern Louise Patio Chair from Wayfair is less than half the price of the CB2 version. Add one to your outdoor space for a luxurious, upscale look. If you’re going for a complete makeover with a brand new patio furniture, consider purchasing the Louise four-piece sofa set. It includes two chairs, a loveseat, and a weather-resistant coffee table in gray ($980) or white ($1,170).

The similarities between the CB2 Sunset Lounge Chair and the AllModern Louise Patio Chair are understated and crazy. They are both made of wood, have removable polyester cushions and feature the same design right down to the slatted backrest. The only differences are the look of the polyester cushions (the CB2 chair has a linen-like polyester) and the type of wood (the CB2 chair is teak, while the AllModern chair is acacia).

Teak is widely considered the best wood to use for outdoor furniture. Acacia wood is also weather resistant, but not as weather resistant as teak. Acacia wood can be damaged by standing water and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. It is therefore best to invest in furniture covers for both types of wood, but especially for acacia wood.

The AllModern Louise Patio Chair (24.5″ H x 32.5″ W x 34.5″ D) has a 4.9-star rating on Wayfair. One reviewer wrote, “Simply wow! This chair looks great and is so easy to put together. High quality parts and wood. The cushions are comfortable and of high quality. I should have bought two…and the beanbag.”

The chair is available with white cushions (shown) for $355 or with gray cushions for $310 at Wayfair. Shipping is included.
