The KidKraft Adirondack is the standard-bearer for child-sized East Coast style. At $66, this solid Samnu-wood product is affordable, too.
On the KidKraft web site, reviewer Mp-wv writes this chair is the perfect size for her child: “This little Adirondack chair is adorable! The quality and craftsmanship are excellent. The assembly was very quick and simple and took about 10 minutes.
“We have adult chairs in the yard in a similar finish and our toddler loves having his own chair. It looks so much better than the cheap plastic ones and will last for years to come (even if he outgrows it, it can be passed down).”

Modern design lovers and those looking to add a sculptural piece to their backyard gardens will fall in love with the Paso chair from Crate & Barrel.
We love the spectacular teak version, which will stay honey-gold with regular treatments or weather to a patinaed silvery gray. It also comes in black and gray if you prefer recycled-plastic construction. The double-slat design feels chunky and elegant all at once.

The sustainably harvested Acacia Wood Rocking Adirondack is a winner from World Market. We love its space-saving design, quality construction, UV-protecting finish and affordable price ($144).
The shop also offers attractive add-ons, including a drink holder, side table, and ottoman. Finishes come in natural, white and gray.
One verified World Market web site reviewer writes: “I absolutely LOVE these chairs! I am impressed by the quality of workmanship and materials. They are very comfortable due to the design, including a curved backrest and curved seat.
“Simple enough to assemble. I also bought the matching footstools and side table. Now if only they folded to take up less space … I have been looking for this exact design for over 15 years.”
