POLYWOOD Modern Adirondack Chair, All-Weather Recycled Lumber, Black

This is an outdoor lounge chair built from POLYWOOD recycled HDPE lumber in black, made for patios, decks, and fire pit seating that stays outside all year. It measures 32.11 inches deep by 29.25 inches wide by 34.66 inches high, with a contoured seat, a waterfall front edge, wide flat armrests, and a relaxed back angle. It is made in the USA.

The reason to spend real money on an Adirondack chair instead of buying a molded plastic one is what happens in year three. HDPE lumber does not crack, peel, or chip the way painted wood does, and the color is not a surface coat but is compounded into the material with UV inhibitors, so it does not fade to chalk after two summers. The hardware is 18/8 marine-grade stainless steel, which is the part most outdoor furniture cheats on and the part that fails first when it rusts. Care is soap and water. There is no painting, staining, or sealing.

The design is where this diverges from the classic Adirondack. Instead of the fanned back and rounded slats, the profile here is squared off with straight vertical slats and clean horizontal lines, so it sits comfortably next to modern architecture rather than reading as cottage furniture. In black it works as a graphic element against a light deck or pale gravel. Assembly is required and the hardware and instructions are included.
