Take Five: Contemporary Adirondack Chairs

Here we are heading into May. As summer fast approaches, we can't think of outdoor life without thinking of the trusty old Adirondack chair. Its classic lines will always be welcome in our outdoor spaces, but there are also a few new kids on the block that give a nod to their predecessor while bringing the look into the 21st century. Let's take a look at five examples:

Might be just me, but I don't find Adirondack chairs all that comfy. And they take up a LOT of space on a small deck. (Tried once.)

i luv that first one! curvilicious :)

I don't find them comfortable, either. And it's always really hard to get out of them.

I'll always be partial to the classic style. In Canada, the same chair is called a Muskoka...

Recently I sat in an older handmade Muskoka chair that fit my short legs perfectly -- I'm kicking myself now for not buying it and using it as a pattern to make a couple more.

I think i can't relax in that kind of chair.Maybe I will use another chair.
