Just like jeans are the hallmark of your classic wardrobe, so is the case with a quality Adirondack chair for your yard.
These timeless outdoor furniture pieces have grandeur appeal that marries coastal, timeless design with The Hamptons-inspired aesthetic. In short, there’s not a singular style that wouldn’t pair well with one of these seaters.
Uniquely, Adirondack chairs were carefully designed with kick-back, hours-long lounging in mind, making their downward-sloping seats second to none. Because they rest close to the ground, they even double as beach chairs, so long as they’re foldable.
New York Post Shopping rounded up the best Adirondack chairs of 2023 that’ll make you want to dedicate some R&R time into your long, summertime days.
Even better, we divided this edit into specific categories — from plastic and wooden to folding and rocking — to ensure you find one seamlessly (and, specifically, find the precise one you’re looking for).
Adirondack chairs also make the perfect addition surrounding your outdoor fire pit. You should totally pick one up, too.
