Can you help me find this chair?

[mthomas58]

I really like the design of this Adirondack chair and would like to buy or build some. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck finding it on the Interwebs. The somewhat unique feature of this design vs most is the vertical supports behind the seat back. Thanks!

I found a bunch with supports, but not this particular chair. Most of the supports are vertical (vs this one where the support matches the angle of the seat back).

Not the chair, but close-ish

A lot of what you find out there these days is going to be a plastic material made to look like wood in colors. It's heavy and supposed to stand up to the elements.

The one Stephanie posted has vertical back supports but has a better seat design.
The image in the op has all the information you need to figure out the build.
If I did build one, I would add a second bolt where the back support meets the seat support/back leg.

I saw a bunch with that sort of vertical support. If you do an image search for adirondack chair, about 25-33% have the vertical back support, except that it's vertical instead of matching the angle of the seat back like in the chair posted in the first post. Visually, that's less appealing.

The shape and lines of the one in the first post is nice.

Shape, lines and design are so important to visual appeal and much of what I see in the Adirondack chair category I don't like. I find this one visually appealing although not as elegant as the one in the first post.

This looks similar. I have some items from this place, very good quality (though not cheap).

EDIT: realized these don't have the vertical supports. Sorry...

^ I like that one, that mthomas posted, too. Form follows function. The one in the OP is stylish, I guess, but it doesn't look comfortable, it's just two flat surfaces, so you're sitting on a plank leaning against a plank and you have to use a pillow in the lumbar to find a comfortable position.

I find they need cushions to make them somewhat comfortable.
Folding is good for winter storage as well.

The ones that are angled back are easier on the spine, but you fall into them and can't get out easily. An additional pillow puts you in Apollo1 position so you'll need binoculars to read the paper. Plan your use accordingly. They do look good.

I found the site where the 'picture' was pulled. I think the reason why you are having trouble finding it is because a lot of those gallery 'pictures' are generated graphics. Looks to me like the entire picture is not real but, a graphic. The chair is probably from a model library dropped in to showcase the deck and railing products. Could explain the blockiness of the rear support.

Appears that the graphic is repeated here using a different angle:

You are absolutely correct about the difficulty in getting out of these chairs but they sure are comfortable. Our planned use is around the fire pit on the backyard paver patio with cocktails that can be parked right on the arm rest!

Yep, that's the site I pulled the pic from - ordered some of there deck rail parts in current project. Your graphics explanation makes sense to me. Thanks!!

I've sat in a few, and despite the bottom and back usually being flat, they are surprisingly comfortable. I guess that's why they are so popular.

Wow, that looks about as close as you could get to the one in the original post. THat's a GREAT looking chair!

I'm actually going to save some of the pics. If I ever get a wild hair, I don't think it would be that tough to make somethink like that. Which is good since that's a $1k chair.

My brother made some Adirondack chairs using old skis we had in the attic of our garage for the back...

(not the chairs my bro made... very similar)

[TimT]

He also made a Shotzski out of one of my favorite Nishizawa GS skis ...



Its just some pvc pipe hot glued to the ski... the little red cup shot glasses fit in the pvc pipe stubs...


Feel free to ignore the 4 stooges :-)

About 10 years ago, we had an order from the architect that designed the outdoor kitchen, deck and 8 Adirondack out of the same material as the deck board, Ipe. I warned him about how it splinters over time but he didn't care because of uniformity request by the owner. Okay. They turned out to be pretty comfortable. It was a very traditional or true to its original design.
