Cheap plastic beach chairs don't look that good, are rarely comfortable and don't last. A much better summer chair option is the classic looking Adirondack. It conveys a quiet sense of luxury because it's the kind of chair that people expect to see on a porch in the Hamptons. The Wall Street Journal's Catalogue Critic rated foldable Adirondacks this week. Their intention was to find a chair that could be stored for the winter, but why not store it in your trunk and take it down to the shore instead? Their winner in both comfort and ease of assembly was the Orvis Folding Adirondack. The delightful chair is made of hardwood, finished with weather-resistant acrylic in one of 3 colors. The chairs are $189 each.
