The Adirondack chair is unlike any other chair every made. First designed by Thomas Lee in the early 1900s, this chair is amazingly comfortable, very affordable, and a chair that could easily be used for indoor furniture or outdoors by the pool or perhaps on the deck or patio. The overall design of this chair is so unique and interesting. Although there are many great aspects of the Adirondack chair, the favorites include the deep seat, curved back that wraps around the body, and the wide armrests, perfects for holding a favorite drink or providing a place to set a book.
Even though the price of the adirondack chair may seem a little higher than other furniture, remember you are buying a handcrafted chair that is made with the finest materials. Therefore, when cared for properly, the Adirondack chair will last for years. Therefore, the chair is well worth the investment. Keep in mind that you can do a few things to keep your Adirondack chair in tip top shape.
First, make sure you buy your Adirondack chair from a reputable manufacturer and retailer such as AdirondackChairs-Store.com. With this, you know with 100% confidence you are buying a handcrafted chair of top material by top experts. Generally, the best option for wood is Western red cedar, which is highly weather resistant and therefore, and excellent choice for outdoor use. The Adirondack chair is also dimensionally stable, and if you choose to paint it, you will find it wears well. Therefore, your first step is to buy quality.
Remember that the way in which you care for your adirondack chair will depend on several factors such as the temperature, humidity level, precipitation, how the chair is used, and so on. Additionally, you will need to decide the look you want for your Adirondack chair, which will affect the way in which it is cared for. As an example, if you prefer the weathered look, then you would leave the chair outside so it is exposed to the elements. The result will be a natural appearance that is kind of rustic. On the other hand, you might want a chair that is sleeker, newer looking. For this, you can choose to have the chair painted or stained.
If your Adirondack chair is left unpainted and should be covered with mold and mildew, a power washer would be an excellent way to clean it. Just remember to use the right size nozzle so the pressure is not so hard that the wood becomes damaged. If you do not have a power washer, you can use good, old-fashioned soap and water, brushing the mold and mildew off with a soft brush. When you have finished washing the chair, allow it to dry completely. Then, add a protective coat with something like polyurethane. This way, you will not have to deal with the problem again.
Adirondack chairs will also need to be cared for during the cold, winter months. In most cases, you would wash the chair off and dry it well. Then you could set it inside in the basement, garage, or perhaps even use it indoors. If you decide to store it, simply place a plastic tarp over the chair to keep it clean. With a little common sense and cleaning, you do not have to do much to an Adirondack chair, thus another benefit.
