Wulfern Panteronisi Fan Back Adirondack Chair

A single fan back Adirondack chair in deep mahogany poly lumber, rated to 350 pounds, built to stay outside all year and clean up with soap and water.

• The fanned back

  Broad slats rise from the seat and spread into a softly rounded crown, the shape this chair is named for. The armrests are wide and flat, deep enough for a mug or a paperback, and the front edge of the seat rolls over in a waterfall curve instead of cutting off square.

• Mahogany all the way through

  The color is not painted on. It runs through the poly lumber itself, so a scuff shows the same deep brown rather than a pale core underneath. The surface is matte with a fine woodgrain texture pressed into it, and it never needs painting, staining or waterproofing.

• Assembly

  The chair arrives flat and goes together at home. One person can do it, and every tool you need is packed in the carton, so there is nothing extra to buy. Work on a soft surface and tighten the hardware by hand rather than with power tools.

• Care and off-season

  Soap, warm water and a soft bristle brush lift off pollen, salt and grill smoke. There is no sealing, no sanding and no annual re-coat. It can stay out through winter, and at 34 pounds it will not skate across the deck in a gust, though a cover keeps snow out of the seat slats.

• How it sits

  The seat sits 13.68 inches off the ground with a gentle recline, so you settle back rather than perch. It runs 20.5 inches across and 17.37 inches deep, and the arms land at 22 inches, a natural height to rest an elbow. Rising from a seat this low takes a push on those arms.

• Built for weather

  Poly lumber does not splinter, crack, chip, peel or rot the way painted outdoor wood does. It takes hot sun, driving rain and salt air, and the color is UV stabilized so it holds instead of chalking out. The hardware is marine grade, so the joints do not bleed rust down the slats.

• Weight it holds

  The chair is rated to hold 350 pounds. It is also listed as contract grade, the specification hotels and restaurants buy against, so the frame is built for harder use than a back garden will give it.

• What ships

  One chair, flat packed, with the hardware and the assembly tools in the same box. Nothing else is included: the planter, the paving and anything else in the photographs are styling only. It ships by ground carrier, and at 34 pounds one person can carry the carton.
