Warmer temperatures may be luring you outside, but with no outdoor furniture except for a couple of rump-sprung lawn chairs or a low retaining wall, you'll soon find yourself heading back inside to enjoy the recycled air conditioning. Maybe it's time to get serious about buying some attractive outdoor seating for your patio, deck, porch, lawn, balcony or whatever you call your outdoor living space.
From a wooden Adirondack chair to charming wicker and space-age modernism, there's a chair to suit every bottom. And by the way - it is possible to find good deals and still get a good-looking, high-quality garden chair.

One of the most durable and nicest-looking materials for garden furniture is wood. The Arpoador steamer chaise lounge is made from solid eucalyptus, which has earned a reputation for its strength, beauty and durability. Designed in the style of vintage steamer chairs -- which were used on the decks of large ocean liners like the Titanic - this lounge is adjustable, making it a great choice for smaller outdoor areas. This chair is FSC approved.

Designed more than 100 years ago, the Adirondack chair is a perennial favorite that conjures up images of summer resorts (can't you picture Baby lounging on one when she wasn't doing some of that Dirty Dancing). Keeping the tradition alive for more than 20 years, The Bear Chair Company of Northern Ontario has been producing fine-quality, affordable Adirondack/Muskoka-style chairs in a ready-to-assemble form. Available in white pine or red cedar.
