Roundup: Adirondack Chairs

A summertime classic, the Adirondack chair has been gracing front porches, decks, and backyards for years, and will no doubt be around for decades to come. It's no wonder then that the iconic style is available from so many different retailers, each offering their own tweaks in material, shape, or price...

I'm really desperate to find an Adirondack chair in Spain or Europe, where they can send it by mail to my house. Apparently, it's no possible to send them from the U.S. Do you know any place where I can find them? I've been looking for them for years. Thank you.

This is perfect. I've been looking to replace my current couch/futon with something lighter and easier to move around. Adirondacks would be perfect. Especially since my new place will be looking out onto wooded area.

In the US, Menards carries wooden adirondack chairs. $35 for unfinished, $45 for stained/painted.

I personally love the plastic Adirondack chairs that I found on the side of the road with a "free" sign on them. I painted them bright red with Krylon Fusion spray paint, and they're bright and cheery.

Thank you, midmodfan, I'll try.

No thanks for plastic or soft pine Adirodacks. They don't have to be made from precious hardwoods, but denser woods will hold up better over the years. I have a bunch of these made from acacia that are solid, built like tanks: <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v672/rdoeksen/sale/AdirondackChair3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
