Adirondack Furniture

The Adirondack Furniture emerged from Adirondack Mountain Area in Upstate New York during the 1870’s. Franklin Roosevelt was impressed by this style and pushed the idea that buildings in the national parks system should emulate this style as seen in The Inn at Yellowstone National Park. The Adirondack Style was designed to withstand harsh outdoor elements and harmonize with nature. The style is widely popular even today and is used extensively in patios even though usage has declined since the 1930’s.

A description of Adirondack style would be incomplete without describing the Adirondack chair. Solid slabs of pine ailed together for the seat and back at a very comforting angle, and four-inch wide arms make for the ideal rest chair.

Characteristics

The wood for Adirondack furniture is tested for durability, warping, rot and insect resistance. Typically wood is kiln-dried and pressure-treated so as to ensure all-season outdoor use. Other than cedar, teak, cypress, mahogany, alder, eucalyptus, and southern yellow pine are also used.

Original colors were dark green or brown. Today, you can find an Adirondack chair in a variety of designs, colors, finishes or materials that fits your personal style. You can choose from a huge variety (in excess of 20!) including classic cottage colors such as white, yellow, and barn red to the ultra-sleek flamingo pink

Affordable compared to other furniture styles.

Tip:  If you are looking for low maintenance outdoor furniture plastic Adirondack is a good choice.  It does not absorb moisture and therefore does not rot, warp, crack or splinter like . Manufacturers use UV stabilized coloring, making the furniture virtually low maintenance.

Ideal to create an outdoor living area to relax on a beautiful day, read a book, or entertain friends and family in!
