Adirondack Chair, The Comfortable Chair

Adirondack Chair, The Comfortable Chair

Wood Chair Adirondack
By utilizing materials found around his Westport, NY, vacation home, Thomas Lee crafted a unique chair that caught the attention of a local carpenter and would eventually gain widespread popularity. It is Adirondack chair.

Adirondack chairs are a popular choice for garden and patio furniture. The Adirondack chair had eleven slats of wood and wide arm rests. Today, their high angled backs and sloping seats identify Adirondack chairs. Adirondack chairs come in several different materials, including plastic and several natural woods. Most Adirondack chairs are natural wood colored, but you can also find them painted white.

While looking for a way to increase revenue, a local carpenter and friend to Lee, Harry Brunnel, started crafting the chairs. In 1905, he applied for a patent and the chair that later came to be known as the Adirondack chair was dubbed the "Westport Chair."

Perhaps what makes Adirondack chairs so popular among consumers today is their comfort. Identified by a high, angled back and sloping seat, the chairs are made with comfort in mind. Adirondack chairs are also very durable. Made out of solid, treated wood that is resistant to both rot and insect infestation, Adirondack chairs are virtually indestructible in any climate.

Depending on what you want, the price for Adirondack chairs start out at approximately $200 for each piece. In order to keep the cost of your selection in perspective, compare the cost of Adirondack chairs to other outdoor furnishings. Although Adirondack chairs may be priced a little higher than other types of furnishings, you will have to replace other furnishings after a few years. On the other hand, Adirondack chairs will remain beautiful for years to come.
