North America is the home to a wide selection of outdoor rustic furniture lines. Although rustic, they are typically quite refined and can be found lakeside, poolside and in every backyard. Many are made of woods, such as cedar and mahogany, that have superb weathering characteristics and, if left unfinished, develop a soft gray weathered look of centuries past.

Adirondack chairs have been associated with the Adirondack mountain range in upstate New York since the beginning of the 20th century. Ever since a man on vacation nailed some boards together near Lake Champlain, the Adirondack chair has travelled to every corner of the country, giving a home a sense of permanence and history.

If you are looking for rustic outdoor furniture but would like something a little different from the frequently found Adirondack style, you might consider the Mission style which became popular at the beginning of the 20th century. Its functional design and natural materials lend an air of stability, serenity and simplicity to your patio.

This chair looks no different from any regular adirondack. But it hides a secret that will be the envy of your guests when revealed...a convenient pullout ottoman. With it pushed in, it is the same as the regular adirondack. But pull it out and you have a built-in ottoman to rest your legs on! The chair remains the most comfortable wooden chair you have ever sat in, with its curved seat, sculptured & curved fan back, and wide arms, with routed edges.
