Score!!! Adirondack Chairs

First of all, don't forget to enter my super sweet and cute Easter giveaway of three vintage brass bunny figurines here.

Ever since we completed the landscaping last summer, I've been researching on types of additional seating we could put underneath the gazebo. Rattan/wicker conversation set like this has become pretty popular in recent years. While I love the bring-the-indoors-out look, I don't like the fact that they are usually pretty substantial in size and won't fit into my garden shed for winter storage. I have also tried out a few bistro sets, but they are usually too small and hence uncomfortable to lounge.

And then one day an idea stroke me as I was scanning for a cottage to buy...what about those Muskoka Chairs that are everywhere at cottage country? They are so comfortable to sink ourselves into for a long time. But similar to the wicker conversation set, they are not small either. And then of course I found out the Adirondack Chairs, or popularly known as Muskoka Chairs, actually come in folding type!

Today when we were at a Canadian Tire for something else I ran into this -- the famous Eon Classic Adirondack Folding Chairs in Driftwood (Grey), and the best part is, the last two left were on clearance! An Eon Adirondack Folding Chair costs anywhere between $300 to $400, but I didn't pay anywhere near that! Love me a deal!

It took us over an hour to assemble both chairs, but the instructions are pretty straightforward. Here they are now in my basement. I am waiting to put up the canopy again before I bring them outdoors.



Eon's Adirondack Chairs are made of virgin and reprocessed materials (e.g. plastic) that look like real wood. They are solid, durable, and most importantly, zero maintenance! And they carry a 20-year warranty.

Now I just can't wait to sit back and chillax over a glass of wine!
