Folding Adirondack Chair With Hidden Cup Holder, Black

The classic Adirondack silhouette in weather resistant HDPE poly lumber, which does not crack, fade, peel or rot the way real wood does once it has been through a couple of winters outside. The seat is oversized with a high back and wide armrests, and the leg structure is rated to 380 pounds, so it is a chair people actually settle into rather than perch on. Under the right armrest a cup holder pulls out on its own bracket and pushes away again when it is not wanted, with an inner diameter just under 3 inches. It folds by pulling the chain on the right leg, which makes it possible to store it in a shed or a garage over winter instead of leaving it out. Assembly takes five steps. It suits a porch, a deck, a lawn or a fire pit.

Why we picked it

Wooden Adirondacks look right for exactly one season and then start asking to be sanded and resealed every spring. Poly lumber keeps the silhouette and drops the maintenance entirely, and at 380 pounds the leg structure is not the thin plastic version of the idea. The folding chain is what makes it practical rather than seasonal: a chair you can actually put away is a chair that survives the winter looking like it did in June.
