The Best Adirondack Chairs That Look Great, Even if You Don’t Have Lakeside Views

The appeal of synthetic wood in outdoor furnishings can be summed up in two words: Low. Maintenance.

This user-favorite pick is made from UV-protected imitation wood, which allows for easy end-of-season cleaning. We also love the neutral tones it comes in — they give it a classic look and feel, making it a design chameleon that'll coordinate seamlessly with most household styles.

Reviewers note that putting it together may be tricky, with one person saying that it “definitely takes two people to assemble.” However, the finished product is both durable and attractive.

When just one Adirondack chair isn't enough for your needs, consider this three-piece set. This new launch from POLYWOOD's Country Living Collection includes two faux-wood, Adirondack-style rockers and a matching side table.

While some assembly is required, the result will look and feel pristine for years to come. All of the weather-safe pieces are made of hefty recycled plastic and finished with marine-grade hardware, so they won't need more than a quick hose-off to keep them clean. Just keep in mind that these are best situated in a spot that you won't want to move them from — each chair weighs a considerable 86 pounds.

This set of two Adirondack rocking chairs is made of solid acacia wood and makes a beautiful addition to any front porch or screened-in sunroom.

According to reviewers, they’re easy to assemble and clean, and they feel sturdy, comfortable, and calming. Plus, their natural wood grain has a stunning richness that plastic just can’t compete with. Reviewers also love these chairs for their perfect color, raving, “who doesn’t love a little rockin’ and story-tellin’ or music-listenin’ on a perfect spring/summer/fall eve?”

As much as we wish we could lounge outdoors in our Adirondack chairs all year long, not everyone lives in such temperate climes. When it comes time to pack up the patio furniture, this folding Adirondack chair makes storage a cinch.

This USA-made, 34-pound chair is made from recycled plastic and is an overwhelming crowd favorite for its easy assembly, comfortable feel, and durability. And according to one reviewer, it stands the test of time, “They’re very sturdy. We have had them for two summers now. We leave them out all year in Michigan, and they do great.”

Oh, and white is far from the only color — there are a whopping 40 colorways available!

Consider this 16-piece Adirondack chair set to be an investment for the long-awaited outdoor parties you'll hopefully be able to have this summer. It includes eight chairs, four ottomans, and four side tables.

Best of all, reviewers are seriously impressed with their quality. One person says, "These are very nice, heavy, sturdy chairs. Simple to assemble, too. They don’t feel like plastic, more of an engineered wood." Plus, the chairs fold up for easy storage.

This plastic Adirondack chair has a more modern style, with its punchy color options and clean lines. Its curved waterfall seat also makes it feel a little nicer on the backs of the knees.

Reviewers say these chairs look incredible (though they do scratch if you’re not careful), and they’re a cinch to put together. One person summed up the whole process, saying, “assembled all 4 chairs alone in one afternoon ... Assembly was simple enough, especially after the first one. Chairs are sturdy, look great, and are comfortable. Yes, they look like fake wood. No, you won’t have to paint these year after year. On balance, a wonderful trade-off. Plus, no splinters!”

This Adirondack chair is made of 95% recycled-plastic poly lumber, and it even folds up for the utmost convenience (although at 58 pounds, it's pretty heavy). Complete with a cupholder and extendable footrest, it's basically everything you'd need in an outdoor seat.

This chair is delivered in four pieces and can be put together easily. One reviewer promises that assembly is easy, stating it “took just a few minutes to put together with the enclosed stainless hardware and Allen wrench. Excellent product and couldn’t be happier.”

This Adirondack chair has a traditional silhouette, four color choices, and even a cupholder — it is basically built for leisure. One standout feature is its extra-wide seat, which provides more comfort and space for sitters between the fixed armrests.

Although it doesn’t fold up, its plastic build will do just fine in any weather. The assembly is easy, and it comes with all the tools you need to make it a quick, under 30-minute job. Are there any drawbacks? One reviewer said, “Its swiveling drink holder will probably require periodic tightening.”

This sleek Adirondack chair offers a modern take on the classic rustic outdoor seat, complete with a square back and three angular back slats. It also comes in a rainbow spectrum of 13 different colors.

It’s made of weather-resistant Polywood lumber, which is a wood alternative that’ll never splinter, crack, peel, or need to be repainted. It’s also worth noting that you’re less leaned back in this seat, too. According to one reviewer, “Easy to assemble, colors are awesome & so comfortable! The seat isn’t as low as others & easy to get out of!”
