Description

The Adirondack chair is a classic of American design that has been the last word in outdoor comfort for over a hundred years.

Our Classic range is the highest standard of finish that we offer. The edges of all the parts of the chair are carefully rounded over and most of the the screws used in making the chair are covered with matching wooden plugs. This adds up to a chair that is as good looking as it is comfortable.

The seat and back of the chair are carefully shaped and finished to offer the most comfortable garden armchair you will find. The proportions are generous with the width of the seat between the arms over 50cm (20in).

The broad, flat arms are perfectly level making an ideal place for a drink or book on a sunny afternooon. Cut from a single piece of wood each arm is approximately 15cm (6in) wide 

We have been making and selling this Classic Adirondack style chair in our Surrey workshops for over 15 years and hard wearing, easy care Iroko is the most popular item in our range. Like all the furniture we make, it is designed and built to be left outside all year round. All of the screws and fittings used are stainless steel and we use the best quality waterproof glues throughout. The naturally durable timber is resistant to decay and insect attack and weathers to an attractive natural silver grey.

Timber Care

Iroko is a naturally durable hardwood. You do not need to apply any preservative treatment. Left untreated it will weather to silvery grey over a 12-18 month period.

If you want to delay this weathering process you can apply garden furniture oil to new furniture. This will then need to be reapplied at least annually to maintain the decorative effect. Oiling is a decorative process. The lifespan of the furniture will not materially change by oiling.

All furniture will benefit from an annual clean with warm soapy water and a nylon bristle brush. Do not use a pressure washer as it will damage the timber surface.

You can leave your furniture outdoors all year round. Extended storage in a dry area is not recommended. Never store outdoor wooden furniture in a conservatory.

The timber used has been seasoned for outdoor use and it is important that it does not dry excessively. This promotes cracks and splits in the wood. Left outside rain and moisture in the air will take care of this naturally.

The easiest option is to let the timber weather naturally and leave it where you use it so that you can enjoy it when you want.

These are absolutely beautiful classic chairs. Beautiful wood and so smooth they’re a joy to sit in. We must definitely get the table to go with them now. So glad we came across these, love everything about them and how they came neatly packaged, wrapped, with precise instructions to follow, down to the little tin of tools. Absolutely perfect! You get what you pay for and you certainly do here. Thank you 😊

I was sitting on my chair on my balcony trying to remember when I bought it. After digging through receipts I found the assembly instructions dated 05/08/2010
So 13 years later, after only giving the chair a yearly wash, it is as good now as it was new. If anything it has more character and blends in on my 16 year old balcony. Highly recommended, a peice of furniture for life.

I just took delivery of two classic chairs, two classis leg rests and a coffee table. All I can say is 'Outstanding' and thank you. I am so glad that I found this website, I always like to buy something special and different rather than off the shelf items. I was and am still absolutely amazed at the build quality and the design of these chairs and accessories. Looking forward to 11pm tonight so that I can sit outside for an hour while the family are asleep. Now seeing these in real life, I can honestly say that I would have paid double for them. A big thank you from Norfolk.

Bought a pair of chairs & a footstool in spring 2021. There was a fault in a section I contacted the company & sent a couple of photos to clarify. Outstanding customer service the parts were replaced by return of post with unequivocal apologies. The chairs look stunning & are the chair of choice when we have guests. They don’t require cushions & don’t creak when certain guests sit in them! 16 months later (not covered) they are by far the best garden chairs I have & will be purchasing more. Excellent product excellent company.

These chairs were so well packaged. And the instructions couldn’t have been clearer. They look amazing in their new home. I would suggest that a second pair of hands might be useful to hold the backs in position until they are fixed. But they are very simple to build. Four chairs…four foot stools and two side tables. Just under two hours. One of me building. The workmanship is clear. And I am so glad I found them. And I can’t wait to sit out with my coffee. Thank you.

I’m not one for writing reviews but I cannot express how much I am impressed with the quality of workmanship that Is evident for the 2 chairs and coffee table I received recently. The the individual tins with screws etc are a novel and welcome addition.

I’ve had my chairs since 2005 and they are absolutely fantastic, they still look brand new.


A Masterclass in Great Design

These chairs are a masterclass in great design. They are very comfortable, well designed and expertly made. Careful thought has even gone in to the packaging and assembly, making it easy to unpack the chairs and put them together. My favourite detail is the wooden toothpick included in the tobacco tin of screw fittings. It’s mean to align screw holes during assembly, but has a Union Jack flag at one end, making it easier to hold, more noticeable, and announcing that this is a British Made product! Price wise, I had considered making similar chairs myself (I’m a woodwork hobbyist) but the timber alone would have cost almost as much as the finished chairs. I can’t recommend these chairs enough.


So happy!

We’re over the moon with our two chairs! Everything about them is pretty near perfect (I’m hard to please lol). The contact from the moment the order was placed was faultless and they arrived roughly 10 days sooner than we expected. Very easy to put together, each chair took maybe 10-15 minutes. Can’t wait for the rain to stop and we can sit on them outside, rather than in our lounge where they currently are! Well worth the money and well worth the wait.


Beautiful, high quality chair and fantastic service

I love my chair! This is a superbly well made, high quality chair that has been made with love by people who seem to love what they do. I am about to buy a footstool to go with it. Highly recommended
