I have a full sized Adirondack chair I got for 180 that reclines at a greater angle and is wider and longer. It also came mostly assembled. That being said, 79 is a good value for this smaller one. Im not sure my bigger chair is twice the chair my smaller one is. I certainly admire all these ppl that are assembling this chair in 30 mins, 1 hr, etc. It took me 2 1/2 hrs to put together. I did take my time and the wood did splinter in some places. Just the back alone took 1 hour because it was hard to line up. I had to undo the screws and realign the slats so they would look more attractive. Im thinking of putting some sort of protective layer on the chair since someone said the rain got to the wood.
Im not sure if I like the sitting angle. Its more upright than my biggest chair so it is different. Im 57, 195lbs, a bit portly, the chair does fit me, but its cutting it close. Any smaller and the chair wont fit. If youre a larger person or a football player I would avoid this chair. I much prefer my larger Adirondack. I will also say, I have added a head cushion, ottoman, and soft pad for the larger chair, so the experience of sitting on that one is absolutely heavenly. Perhaps I should wait until my cushions arrive for my smaller chair before making this review? I did swap out the ottoman and add the head cushion to the smaller chair to see what it would feel like, and it did elevate the experience.
I bought the smaller chair because I wanted 2 chairs for convo in the future on my deck but I didnt want to spend the money. My deck is also small, so theres not much room for another full size Adirondack. I cant say I regret this purchase, but I do wish the reclining angle was lower and I wish the chair was just a little bigger.
Chair is kind of small
