Adirondack Chairs

Writen by Jason Albright

Adirondack chairs are a popular choice for garden and patio furniture. Thomas Lee who was seeking ways to furnish his summer home invented Adirondack chairs in the early 1900s. He utilized materials that he found around his vacation home, located in Westport, NY. His design impressed a local carpenter, and the Adirondack chair became popular all over the country. The Adirondack chair had eleven slats of wood and wide arm rests. The seat and back were angled to allow better positioning on the Adirondack mountain terrain.

Today, their high angled backs and sloping seats identify Adirondack chairs. They are made with comfort and relaxation in mind, making them perfect chairs for outdoors. The wide arm rests of the Adirondack chairs are perfect to hold drinks or your favorite novel while you relax. The chair wraps around you, making it a comfortable place to unwind.

Adirondack chairs come in several different materials, including plastic and several natural woods. It is not hard to find an Adirondack chair to suit your needs and personal style. Most Adirondack chairs are natural wood colored, but you can also find them painted white. Plastic Adirondack chairs come in a wide variety of custom colors, such as black, white, sand, blue, hunter green and sunny yellow. You can also get dual Adirondack chairs that have seating for two, gliding or rocking Adirondack chairs, and chairs with special features like curved backs or shell designs.

Adirondack chairs are normally very affordable for the quality of craftsmanship that you receive. Custom made wooden Adirondack chairs will fetch a price of $250. With proper care, however, Adirondack chairs will last many years. This makes custom made Adirondack chairs a good investment for your patio furniture.

Plastic Adirondack chairs are also a good choice. This lower cost option is also very durable. It is resistant to moisture, chlorine, salt water and insects. Plastic chairs will also look new for several years.

Whether you choose a natural wood chair, or a plastic version, adding an Adirondack chair to your patio furniture is a great option.
