Originally crafted from wooden planks in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, these chairs have evolved in style and material, but they keep their iconic rustic look. Whether you're sipping a cold drink on a sunny day or roasting marshmallows by a firepit, an Adirondack chair is your go-to for comfort and style.
A note about materials: All of our recommended chairs are designed to and use materials that can withstand the seasons and a range of climates, including hot sun, snowy winters, salt spray, and heavy winds. We will note if the chair is foldable (great for seasonal storage).
Promising review: "Over the last 5 years, we have bought 4 Polywood Adirondack chairs for our back yard. At first, we couldn't justify spending $200 + for an outdoor chair but now we can. These chairs are made with composite Polywood material and provides UV protection. There is minimal assembly required.
After 5 years exposed the backyard, our chairs still look great. At first, we bought them because they were foldable and we would be able to store them away from the elements but honestly, where we live in So. California, near the coast, there is no need. We brought two of our chairs to our vacation home in the desert area and they are holding up well there in the 100 degree heat. They don't have to be stored in windy weather because they're pretty heavy.Of all the patio furniture we've bought over the years, these Polywood Adirondack chairs are the best investment we've ever made!" —Grace R
