Most Comfy Adirondack Chair - your fave?
Comments (20)uh oh, you shouldnt have asked KK whats under the lawn. if she tells ya shes got to kill ya! I love your lawn and patio too! For you El Cheapos out there like me- the plastic adirondack chairs are comfy too, and light weight to move. Ours are in the grass so they need to be moved every week. We have the dark green ones and they are fairly fade resistant and sturdy. Easy to hose off the bird poop too. I bring out cushions some times if I feel like it. I don't find the slanted foot rests comfy, I prefer the flat topped foot rests ones. Just another option....See Moreiso comfy high-backed chair for dh
Comments (11)Thanks for your response, superchick. I'll try doing a search for big man chairs. Who knew? Wonbyherwits, Thanks for your response and photo. I think they look great together. I didn't know that they make back-reclining chairs. I should have been clearer that we're looking for a chair and ottoman at this point. I have nothing against recliners, but we've found that the recliners that DH has test-driven are just too short, leaving his lower legs dangling. (They're also short in terms of how high the back is.) We also realized that unless it's a special design, we would require too much clearance room behind it when the chair reclines. We're putting the chair in front of a french door and the last thing we'll need is having a chair recline through the door. I have found some nice looking chairs at LaZ-Boy and Mitchell-Gold, but they didn't have matching ottomans. We had found one at a store ages ago. It was made by Bradington-Young, but I think the scale would throw off everything else planned for the room....See MoreHelp! My mid-century couch looks great but isn't comfy! What to do?
Comments (10)with sofas, one really needs to sit on them, and be prepared that almost everything new deemed "affordable" (whhich is not cheap at all btw) will be of worse quality than it was say even 20 years ago so I'd say -either be prepared to pay more, but also go to stores and try to sit first and see whether works for you since seating is very personal..depends on one's height etc..you might also be lucky and they'll have sale, or even better- floor models they want to get rid of, etc. Check Room and Board, Design Within Reach(can't get over the name lol..but the quality's nice), different stores carrying good imports from Europe..Cantoni for example..will be very different price yet who knows, one might get lucky. Or even very lucky. or. If you're inclined to invest your time rather than money(which is what I usually prefer to do)-go to vintage stores, even flea markets if you have good ones in the area..some sellers refurbish vintage mcm, and happen to do it quite well. Then you'll be at West Elm price, even lower maybe, but much more superior quality yet another option -your local Craigslist. Saw amazing mcm couches there many times ..pity that I don't have where to put them lol. actually any site that will have option for local pick up is worth checking, but one needs to search by area. these would be Etsy, Chairish, Everything But The House.. I'd take my time in searching for the right sofa. and I might go for a different one-say fabric as opposed to leather. So it'll be purposeful, interrsting mismatch, yet within same sensibility, and with propotions that will have similarity. I spent my childhood with mostly mcm furniture and it's just as comfy as other furniture..when made well. Again sit on it first. Otherwise you play sort of roulette-will it be comfy? will it be not? Whatever's good for hundred reviewers might have absolutely no relation to me when it comes to seating....See MoreHELP! Looking for cute & comfy accent chair for my living room!
Comments (10)I would get an upholstered chair with an ottoman, something like a club chair unless you want to go more traditional and get a wing chair. For sure, please don’t buy it on-line. Please buy something you have sat in and ideally something you have been able to look at its construction, turned upside down, etc. You might be able to score a second hand chair in excellent condition from someone going into an elder facility....See MoreRina Henderson
