Why do shoppers love it?
Although most shoppers expect adirondack chairs to have a hefty price tag attached, depending on what they’re made of, they can actually be a great affordable option for outdoor patio furniture. Unlike higher-end models which are made from cedar or pine, and typically start around $100 to $150, this chair is made with a resin frame, usually a plastic or polymer, that has at least 20% recycled polypropylene material mixed in due to Target’s Car Seat Trade-In program. The program is designed in a way where Target customers drop off any brand or condition of car seats, boosters, or base at Target stores that they aren’t using anymore. They then are recycled and reused in new Target products.
Don’t let the semi-plastic frame fool you. This adirondack is quite sturdy. Although it only weighs about 7.8 pounds — which it’s convenient for moving and rearranging — it can hold up to 250 pounds. The seat itself, which is a hard flat surface with no cushioning, measures 17.5 inches wide, 17.8 inches in diameter, and 1.8 inches high (from floor to seat). Overall, the entire chair measures 31.39 inches wide, 27.56 inches in diameter, and 35.95 inches high.
The chair has a long backrest with fixed wide arms, large enough to have a cup holder and cell phone slot in one of them. They’re stackable, perfect for easy storage, and they’re available in four colors. You can also get the matching Resin Accent Table in three of the same colors and for just $11 right now too.
What to expect from a $18 adirondack chair: Pros and cons
Pros
- Built for long-term outdoor use: The resin frame and recycled polypropylene material gives the chair rust-resistant qualities and makes it ideal for long-term outdoor use.
- Easy-to-store: The stackable nature of the chairs makes them easy to consolidate and store when necessary.
- Eco-friendly: The chair is crafted with a minimum of 20% recycled polypropylene from Target’s Car Seat Trade-In recycling program.
- Heavy-duty: The chair can hold up to 250 pounds.
Cons
- Lightweight: Although their lightweight quality makes them easy to move, they may move or blow around a bit in windier conditions. They aren’t heavy enough to stay fixed in place.
- Not very wide: Shoppers say that the chair is great for tall folks, but it’s not super wide if you’re a person with a larger frame.
This bestseller is a favorite with shoppers. Not only is the adirondack very sturdy and wellmade, but it’s also very comfortable in spite of the polymer/plastic material that it’s made out of. “My community pool bought last year’s version and they were a hit with all generations,” one shopper said. “I can’t wait to use mine this summer. The cup holder and cell phone slot are well-loved extra features. They’re easy to clean and the stackable capabilities make them easy to store.
