This Westport Chair is the predecessor of today's more commonly recognized Adirondack Chair. Originally built in 1905; there have been many modifications made over the years to this rustic country outdoor chair.

The most noticeable difference between an Adirondack chair and Westport chair has more to do with the more rustic style and price. The Westport was traditionally made of scrap lumber (usually old barn board) which was quickly nailed together to create a quick and easy chair.

Our Westport chair has blended the best of the Westport and the Adirondack Chair using economical fir wood (Pine), galvanized screws instead of nails, while adding a blend of the newer adirondack chair style for comfort.

For those of you who want a quality outdoor chair without having to pay a premium price our Westport chair is a perfect fit!

Here are just a few more of the differences we have made to our Westport chair:

• Solid construction includes full length back brace so it doesn't wobble
• The back is gently curved to support your spine while eliminating pressure points without being curved too much which would cause your shoulders to hunch forward straining your spine – in other words it's a perfect fit!
• The seat is gently curved to support your body weight without undue pressure to your tailbone or thighs which can cause your legs and feet to painfully fall asleep. Our Westport adirondack chair is ergonomically designed to supports you without pressure points!
• The seat front curves down instead of a hard edge so there are NO pressure points behind the knees that cause painful leg cramps and pins and needles in the feet.
• The original westport chair was designed so that the seat sat level if you put it on a hill; the problem was if you put it on level ground the seat was nearly impossible to get out of because of the extreme incline. Our westport chairs have been modified so that you can gently recline on level ground giving you the benefit of lounging while making it possible so you can get out of the chair when you need to.
• We use FSC certified Fir Wood for this specific Westport adirondack chair (Fir is a species of Pine) – it is a soft wood that is both economical, lightweight and easily sanded to remove any scratches caused by wear and tear over the years making it ideal for a summer cottage or vacation home.
• Big wide level arms give you plenty of space for setting down your drink or favourite book.
• Our westport chair is NOT pressure treated – meaning no toxic chemicals have been added to preserve the wood making it safe for your family to enjoy.
• Please note this chair does NOT fold up but can be easily unassembled into storable components.

This westport adirondak chair is solidly constructed of FSC certified Fir wood . Each piece of fir is kiln dried, cut, sanded, and then pre-assembly process.

For the westport chairs ordered painted white or brown each piece goes through an extensive painting process. We prime each piece using Becker Acroma primer making sure the coat goes on with no bubbles, no blisters, no scratches, no peel, no overrunning at the edges and no surface roughness. Once dry each piece is then sanded to a very fine finish (240 grit abrasive) then cleaned and a beautiful topcoat of Becker Acroma is applied. Please note that fir wood that has been painted will last just as long as cedar adirondack chairs.

The hardware we use for this chair is weather resistant yellow zinc plated hardware . Once completed every piece is carefully inspected for quality and then well packed for damage free shipping.

Please note that due to the size of this westport chair and in our efforts to keep shipping prices down this chair is shipped in kit form with easy to follow assembly instructions that take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete. We do provide an Allen key for assembly but you will still need your own Philip screwdriver to complete the assembly.

This comfortable westport chair is available with a matching ottoman for that perfect outdoor patio furniture set making it ideal for entertaining guests or just relaxing with a special loved one.
