Thomas Lee who was seeking ways to furnish his summer home invented Adirondack chairs in the early 1900s. While many variations on the Adirondack chairs can be found, the essential spirit of the chairs has not changed much from its earliest form as outdoor seating for modest cabins, rustic mountain hotels and elegant and luxurious mountain retreats.

This makes them perfect to be placed in any convenient outdoor settings such as the patio or lawn. They are relaxing and calming and perfect for you as you bask in the glory of the outdoors.

Its deep, angled seat and broad arm rests, make the perfect place for a plate of food and a refreshing drink.

You can choose to leave it natural, which is my choice, or use various finishes. Adirondack ChairCedar is a very dependable choice for outdoor furniture either as a finished or unfinished wood. Over time unfinished cedar left outdoors will weather to a silvery gray patina. Some people though like to paint them in hues from forest green to neon pink – whatever suits your personal style.

They are also available in a classic style which is one where the slats come to a peak in the middle or the shellback design where the back of the chair is rounded to look like a sea shell.
