Buyer’s Guide to Adirondack Chairs: Elevate Your Outdoor Comfort with The Porch
Julie Athanasiou
Transforming your outdoor space into a cozy, inviting retreat starts with the perfect seating. Adirondack chairs are a classic choice, offering both style and comfort. At The Porch, we offer two distinct Adirondack chair styles: the Classic Hardwood Adirondack and the Poly Classic Adirondack. Each has its unique charm and benefits, tailored to meet different needs and preferences. Here’s a detailed guide to help you choose the perfect Adirondack chair for your outdoor haven.
The Classic Hardwood Adirondack Chair
Features:
Made from solid Dungun, an Indonesian hardwood
7 slats across the back
Wide armrests
Curved back and rolled front for added comfort
Why You’ll Love It: The Classic Hardwood Adirondack chair exudes timeless elegance with its natural wooden beauty. The rich, oiled finish not only enhances the wood's natural grain but also provides a layer of protection against the elements. However, to maintain its lustrous appearance, regular oiling is recommended, especially if the chair is exposed to the harsh Australian sun and weather. Over time, the timber may grey off if not maintained, adding a rustic charm if that's your preference.
