Unmatched Comfort and Handcrafted Quality in Every Western Red Cedar Adirondack Chair
Nothing feels quite like sinking into a handcrafted Adirondack chair after a long day. Wide arms for your drink or book, a gently sloped seat that encourages you to lean back, and a smooth sanded finish make this a chair designed for real relaxation. At Summer Cedar, we believe that comfort and craftsmanship go hand in hand, which is why each piece is built to last and look beautiful year after year.
The Adirondack Chair: A Timeless Piece of American Tradition
The Adirondack chair’s story began over a century ago in the rustic mountains of Westport, New York. Designed for long days outdoors, its wide armrests, sloped seat, and supportive back created a simple yet brilliant design that quickly became iconic. Today, it remains a symbol of leisure and outdoor living.
Our Western Red Cedar Adirondack Chair honors this tradition with premium materials and superior craftsmanship. Whether you place it on your patio, porch, or lakefront dock, it’s a timeless piece that blends American history with modern durability.
Why Choose a Western Red Cedar Adirondack Chair?
Not all woods are created equal, and that’s where Western Red Cedar stands apart. This remarkable material is naturally rich in protective oils, making it resistant to rot, decay, and insects without the need for chemical treatment. Its natural resilience ensures your chair will withstand years of rain, sun, and changing seasons.
Western Red Cedar also offers unmatched beauty. With its warm color and fine grain, it develops a soft silver-gray patina over time if left untreated, or it can be sealed to maintain its rich tone. Every chair we produce is sanded and finished with smooth, routed edges that feel as good as they look.
Sustainability matters too. Our cedar is responsibly harvested from Canadian forests, so you can relax knowing your chair comes from a renewable, eco-friendly source.

Western Red Cedar versus Pine, Plastic, and Other Woods
When choosing an Adirondack chair, you’ll find many materials on the market. Here’s why cedar comes out on top:
- Pine: Often less expensive but lacks natural oils, making it prone to rot and insect damage. Pine chairs require frequent treatment and don’t last as long outdoors.
- Plastic/Resin: Lightweight and weather-resistant, but lacks the natural beauty, comfort, and sturdiness of real wood. Plastic can also fade, crack, or become brittle in direct sunlight over time.
- Teak or Other Hardwoods: Strong and long-lasting but often far more expensive. Western Red Cedar delivers comparable durability at a more affordable price point, with the bonus of being lighter to move and reposition.
For a perfect balance of beauty, durability, and value, Western Red Cedar remains the ideal choice.

How to Care for Your Western Red Cedar Adirondack Chair
Cedar is naturally durable, but with a little care, you can extend its life even further:
- Seasonal Cleaning: Wash with mild soap and water to remove dirt and pollen. Avoid harsh chemicals that strip natural oils.
- Protection: Apply a sealant or outdoor wood oil every 1-2 years if you prefer to maintain the rich cedar color. Left untreated, it will age to a silvery gray patina.
- Winter Storage: If possible, store your chair in a shed or garage during harsh winter months, or use a breathable outdoor furniture cover.
- Hardware Check: Inspect bolts and screws each season and tighten as needed to ensure long-lasting stability.
With just a few minutes of maintenance each year, your cedar Adirondack chair can serve your family for decades. To make it really easy, we wrote a guide about Caring for Western Red Cedar Outdoor Furniture: Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty.

Its timeless design adapts to any setting, making it one of the most versatile pieces of outdoor furniture you can own.
