The Adirondack Rocker by Price
The Adirondack rocker is a staple of Western patio furniture design. Its distinctive oversized armrests and long, sloping back make it one of the most recognizable and popular choices of outdoor seating. From its beginnings in upstate New York, the Adirondack has evolved into a number of models, each uniquely designed and priced accordingly.
$300+
The most expensive Adirondack chair is actually divided into three sub-categories. First of all, name brand and well-respected chairs, like any other product, tend to cost more. For example, the Shakers are acclaimed for their woodwork, while certain name brands can afford to have higher prices because more people prefer them, thus demand is higher. The second reason for having an Adirondack rocker costs upwards o $300 is its age. Antique chairs are a hot commodity, and the ones that are durably constructed and made from hearty woods like teak can easily be passed for much newer chairs while representing a certain era in American history. Hence, they cost a lot. On the other hand, simply being old is not adequate criteria for antique hunters. Furniture that is in disrepair, is broken and not easily restorable has little value to collectors. The third category of expensive rockers is the one that comprises those fancy, crème de la crème chairs, many of which come with extra bells and whistles. For example, many an Adirondack rocker and glider are built specifically for use by pregnant women and new mothers because of their swaying motion which has proven calming ability both pre- and post-birth. There are also especially artistic, ergonomic and one of a kind, rare chairs that are deserving of the extra high price tag. Often the more expensive models are also provided with matching cushions for added comfort. The chairs are practical for both indoor and outdoor use, while many of the simpler rockers would look out of place anywhere but on the porch.
$200-$300
Most middle of the road rocking chairs cost approximately between $200 and $300. When you think of design, this is the classic Adirondack rocker you’re picturing. Made from nicer and consequently more expensive woods (like teak and western red cedar) than are cheaper models, these chairs often come with an attractive finish and won’t need to be re-oiled for a long time after initial purchase. Fine craftsmanship is exhibited in the detailing, the added lumbar support and rounded chair edges. Many of these chairs also come with their own drink holders owing to the wide arm rests, which all but does away with the need for a table.
$200 and less
Don’t be discouraged if you’re not looking to spend that much. For under $200 you can pick up a very decent Adirondack rocker. Many chair models around this price point have a specific design and are called Appalachian “settin” chairs. Their distinct form starts with the long back support of the Adirondack with or without armrests. Paired with the curved seat of the chair, the two sections together offer total body support. Often times, this type of Adirondack rocker is made using pieces of unfinished wood (like pine for example), laid out side by side in rows that taper along the top and bottom so that the slats are wider than a normal wood chair but not so wide as to feel uncomfortable. Many of these lightweight seats also have the luxury of folding up, so you can take them along to barbecues, tailgating parties and more.
Whatever your price range, an Adirondack rocker is a good investment. From the simple to the ornate, the cheap to the steep, this classic style of outdoor seating brings harmony to your living space and helps to melt away all those extra the worries in your life.
