ATLA reader Hilary is on a mission to find these chairs:
Hi AT:LA,
I recently returned from a lovely vacation in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. My hotel had these very comfortable and interesting teak slat lounge chairs which I would love for my deck. The hotel was unable to tell me where they got them and endless searching online has turned up empty. Any ideas?

Hi Hilary, those are some great looking chairs. We've actually been looking for some too ever since we saw a pair at a vintage store in Palm Springs. Unfortunately they were snatched up before we could get them! The closest thing we've found is this one from Viva Terra but it's not an identical match. We remember also seeing a similar shape, but with string slats, over at IKEA for their recent Summer outdoor collection, but I think most IKEA's have liquidated most of their outdoor offerings. Has anyone else seen these chairs available or know what they are called?

they are called Mayan chairs. I seen them at Wellfleet Crafts a store in Cape Cod, MA.
Having tried them i can say they are very comfy.
I also went on vacation in Belize and they had these chairs at our cabana. I love them but am not sure where to buy them. The resort we stayed at is very helpful and I am sure if you emailed them, they would tell you. Most of their furniture was from retailers in the US. www.matachica.com

I think that i have also seen these chairs on a futon website...http://www.futons.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=4467
you can search by appalacian furniture... they definitely look more tropical than country!
Hi,
You should be able to find them for sale here for $275.

I know this is a pretty old thread, but maybe some one is still intrigued by this design after all these years...
I live in Maine & have been producing a very similar chair for the past 10 years. I use recycled stud grade material, so no cutting down of trees for me. My chairs are "green" & built to last. If interested, drop me a note
