You'll find the Saratoga Adirondack Chair with Shelf a little easier to get in and out of than your standard, classic Adirondack Chair. The backrest is just a little less reclined and the seat height is just a little higher. Wide armrests make for comfortable arm positioning and offer an excellent place to set your drink. The unique feature in this chair is a built-in shelf under the seat. This allows you to keep your reading material handy when it's time to sit back and relax. Hand-crafted in the Adirondacks of kiln-dried, native Northern White Cedar, this chair is lightweight and durable, and has a classic design with some slight modifications. Northern White Cedar is one of nature's unsurpassed building materials. Light, sturdy, and remarkably resistant to rotting and discoloration, natural cedar is perfect for crafting into outdoor furniture that will be around for a long, long time. You can leave this chair as it is and watch it weather to a lovely silvery gray, or you can stain it yourself to maintain a desired appearance.
