Is your porch or outdoor space even complete without an Adirondack chair? This classic style of outdoor chair, which originated from the Adirondack mountains outside of New York, is timelessly popular. It has an almost sculptural element to it, an instantly recognizable shape, but has been reinvented plenty of times over the years to keep things interesting and exciting.
In celebration of the chair's many iterations, we've rounded up a few of our favorite styles and shapes on the market right now, all of which we've sourced from the best outdoor furniture brands. These chairs are colorful and funky; form-forward and functional; and, most importantly, timelessly elegant. And we might not have tried them for ourselves but we'd bet they're pretty comfortable, too.
Let's get shopping!
Trending Adirondack Chairs

Was: $179.99
Dimensions: 48.8"D x 30"W x 36.2"H
If this Amazon Adirondack chair has yet to cross you Instagram feed, allow us to introduce you today. This thing has gone viral in recent months, so you know we had to include it here.
Its online fame seems to have everything to do with its convenient cupholders and retractable ottoman, two features that feel inherently luxurious. And while it might not be Amazon Prime eligible, it still comes with fast and free shipping.
Price: $195.99
Do you self-identify as a book worm? Or maybe a 28-year-old iPad kid? If so, we'd suggest this also viral Adirondack for you, mainly because its side tray is larger and comes with a cup holder, phone slot, and a larger area for an e-reader or tablet. Perfect for reading your new romantasy series in the sun or drawing up a few graphics for your next party.
Price: $213
Dimensions: 37'' H X 29'' W X 33.5'' D
For an affordable, modern spin on the classic Adirondack, it doesn't get much better than this selection. From Wayfair specialty brand AllModern, this plastic/resin chair screams minimalist contemporary design. It doesn't have the same bells and whistles as the prior two options, but the right buyer probably isn't looking for that, anyway.
Customers love it; we're talking a 4.8/5-star rating across 1272 reviews. It's durable, all-weather, and built to stay outside no matter the environment, plus guaranteed not to split, crack, chip, or warp. A fabulous high-design pick at a budget price!
Colorful Adirondack Chairs
Price: $118.99
Dimensions: 34"D x 36.6"W x 20.3"H
This chair has a real wood effect but is actually made of plastic, meaning it can withstand outdoor weather throughout the year. And the pale blue color will bring a summery feel to your outdoor space. (Although there are plenty of other colors to just from should you prefer.)
Not only that, but the customer feedback is quite strong, as well. With a 4.6/5-star rating across 1,547 reviews, you can rest assured you're buying a piece that will hold up under scrutiny. Buyers have described it as 'the perfect garden chair', and 'beautiful and comfortable.'
Price: $330
For something seriously unique and different, why not go for a bold orange pop of color? And that's not the only thing that sets this chair apart; its curved back softens the lines of the structure for something a little less linear and harsh (not to mention how it enhances comfort).
If sustainability is your thing, you'll love that this chair is built from Polywood lumber, a proprietary material that 'includes landfill-bound and ocean-bound plastics.' And you'll also go crazy for the 20-year residential warranty; this is a piece built to last.
Price: $895
Dimensions: 35" H 33¼" W 32½" D
We love the modern take on this Adirondack chair, which adds a contemporary and quirky look to your backyard. It's also waterproof, fade-resistant, and made entirely from recycled and recyclable plastic.
The lime green color is refreshing and bright — a welcome break from the neutral palette we've seen plenty of in recent years. Of course, if green isn't your thing, you can try the equally as bright sky blue, sunset orange, or stick with something a bit more traditional like slate, white, or driftwood.
Classic Wooden Adirondack Chairs
Price: $97
Dimensions: 34.75"L x 27.25"W x 38.00"H
A modern take on the classic Adirondack, this elegant design has a contemporary feel to it. It's contoured and angled with high armrests for extra comfort, and made from sustainable FSC acacia wood with a protective paint finish.
This looks to be a great budget pick for anyone who wants that luxe modern feel but can't stomach a $350 receipt. Customer feedback endorses that hunch; 120 out of the 154 total reviews are 5-star, while 15 are 4-star. Although some do mention maintenance as a pain point, albeit one that's equally fixable. In ohter words, you might want to treat each chair with a waterproofing spray or finish before using.
Price: $698
This simple Adirondack chair is the real deal; even looking at it, you can imagine it outside a modest countryside cabin. Just be sure to treat seasonally with Teak Shield, which gives the wood an aged patina and prevents wear and tear (each chair is pre-treated upon arrival, as well).
The entire design is something to behold, but we're most taken by the long back longs, which exaggerate the chair's frame and enhance its showstopping look.
Price: $157.55
Was: $185.35
Although it's available in a variety of finishes, this white wood option is the most unlike what we've seen so far. It has that rustic chic feel that's perfect for homes off the beaten path, and the reviews are fabulous. Plus, each chair is foldable, making storage a breeze.
Just note that if you do choose to invest now, these are final sale.
Budget Adirondack Chairs
Price: $19.97
Was: $24.97
Dimensions: 37.5" H x 30" W x 34" D
Value-priced and durable, this best-selling Adirondack is perfect for a firepit, porch, or deck and has that restful back angle that makes it a relaxation essential. Available in a range of colors, but the sea glass hue is particularly enticing.
Functionally, the chair can hold up to 250 pounds and is tested to ASTM residential standards. It stacks for easy storage and boasts a 'patented foot design' meant to enhance safety. All in all, that's pretty good for a $20 chair that customers love.
Price: $59.98
Was: $74.99
Dimensions: 30.5"L x 28"W x 35"H
We're not as impressed with the reviews on this once, but it still seems good for the price and wooden material (which is covered in a finish for protection). It's also foldable for easy storage and transport, and the natural wood hue matches with any garden or patio décor you might already have.
Price: $24.98
Dimensions: 34"D x 37.5"H x 30"W
If you want to see a customer favorite, look no further than this $25 Adirondack from Lowe's. It is literally flying off the shelves; over 400 were purchased in the last week alone. It's not hard to see why. Customer feedback is plentiful and positive; we're talking a 4.4/5-star rating across 2000+ reviews.
The chair comes assembled, and is available in a few finishes besides teal: yellow, beige, navy blue, dark gray, and lime green.
What is the most popular material for Adirondack chairs?
Livingetc knows design. We spend hours testing and comparing the latest products, bringing only our edit of the very best to you. Find out more about how we review.
'There's a comfort and a familiarity in Adirondack chairs,' say Lucia Bartholomew and Cayley Lambur, Electric Bowery co-founders who have just teamed up with Studio Campo to create custom Adirondack chairs that celebrate the great outdoors. 'But with modern lines & a clean riff, they feel like an old friend who's gotten a new look.'
When it comes to picking the perfect material, think about what will withstand the elements. Wood is the classic choice for an Adirondack chair. While they are heavy, they can last for years if looked after. If you want a colored Adirondack chair, which bring a playfulness to your chair, it's best to avoid painting your wood and pick plastic chairs. A powder-coated metal Adirondack chair could also work in your backyard.
Resin is another great option which you can find in a variety of colors. Resin is technically a plastic, but it is made differently, made from plant matter instead of synthetics so the material can feel sturdier and more durable than plastic, also giving it a more quality appearance.
Can you leave Adirondack chairs out all winter?
The answer to this vastly depends on what material you've gone for. If you've selected a plastic or powder-coated material, you should be ok. But wood needs a little more maintenance.
Adirondack chairs hail from the Adirondack Mountains outside of New York. They are meant to withstand winter weather so a good quality Adirondack chair should be able to handle it.
