What is the difference between your Adirondack chairs and other Adirondack chairs on the market?
There are many reasons why our Adirondack chairs are superior to other Adirondack chairs on the market today.
1. Curved backs and curved contoured seat – to fit your body without hard edges.
2. Lighter back slant – makes the chair easier to get in and out of while still giving maximum relaxing comfort.
3. Back is screwed from behind, so your back slats aren't marked and there is no chance of splinters.
4. Our chairs are handcrafted with a full 1" thickness in any of the following materials: Western red cedar, pine, Brazilian Walnut (Ipe), or PolyTuf plastic lumber, guaranteeing sturdiness and stability for years to come.
5. Manufactured and hand-sanded by our local skilled artisans right here in North America.
6. Our chairs fold – for easier storage & transporting – you can take it anywhere.
7. Our chairs lock upright – making it incredibly sturdy and ensuring it cannot fold up on you while getting in or out.
8. Available in clear Western red cedar – meaning, no knots to fall out or cause wood to weaken.
9. We only use solid oversized stainless steel hardware, guaranteed to last and not rust.
10. Over 100 screws/bolts in every chair (no nails, staples, glue). This chair is ruggedly constructed to last generations.
11. Cedar lasts in all climates and is naturally rot-resistant and insect resistant.
12. Not a kit. It is shipped 80% pre-assembled with easy to follow photo instructions for final assembly.
13. Every piece is hand-selected for color consistency. Cedar comes in many shades and we hand select every piece so that our products are uniform in color.
14. All of our chairs are ergonomically designed for minimum fatigue and maximum comfort.
15. As part of our unique treating process, we dip all the pieces in a vat and then spray 3 more coats to give a smooth beautiful, and lasting finish. We use only the very best stain on the market (Premium wood deck finish by Proluxe). This stain will not peel, chafe, or crack like paints and varnishes.

Why do you chairs seem to cost more?
ACTUALLY, OUR CHAIRS COST LESS than the competition because of their longevity.
Our chairs are guaranteed to last at least 10 years, but we know from personal experience over the last 70 years since we have been in business that they can last indefinitely as many of our first products built are still being enjoyed today (over 70 years later).
If you buy a $60 Adirondack chair that lasts all of one year (which is the average life span of a cheap wooden chair) you could end up spending $1,200 over 20 years for just ONE chair.
We see this as a huge disservice of your hard-earned money when for just a fraction of that cost you can have a quality chair that can last for generations to come. These are heirloom quality products built to last. So when considering cost when buying Adirondack chairs keep in mind your long term investment that will be remade each year with the cheaper products. In the long run, we can save you thousands on outdoor furniture costs. We guarantee it!
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs vary based on location and package dimensions. Many of our products require LTL shipping which will result in additional charges though we ship standard packages with DHL.
Can your chairs be left outside year-round?
Yes, our chairs are built for outdoor living. For wooden chairs in harsh climates, covering or storing them during extreme winter months can extend their life. Polywood and recycled plastic chairs can safely stay outside year-round.
Do you offer bulk or commercial orders?
Yes! We provide special pricing and solutions for hotels, resorts, restaurants, and event spaces. Contact our sales team for a custom quote.
