Find Patio Chairs, Kits, in the Adirondack Style

May 5, 2009 Judith Zwolak

Buy an Adirondack chair for outdoor or indoor seating that provides classic comfort and styling.

The classic Adirondack chair symbolizes the ultimate in summer relaxation. Sharing a name with the mountains of upstate New York (although not certifiably from that region, according to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, New York), an Adirondack chair features a slanted back and seat made of slatted boards and capacious, broad armrests. Comfortable and durable, this outdoor and patio chair style has endured for more than a century and remains popular today.

Online retailers offer a variety of wood, recycled wood, plastic, and resin Adirondack chairs. Designers have tinkered with the style to produce Adirondack lounge chairs and rocking Adirondack chairs, but the classic, comfortable slanted seat and back stay recognizable in all of the versions shown below.

Adirondack chairs are larger than your average patio chair, so keep measurements in mind when buying a chair online. Infinitely comfortable, a pillow or extra padding is rarely needed with this design.
