I love Adirondack chairs for their distinctive and comfortable shape, and I love them even more when they're found at a ridiculously reasonable price. This Painted Adirondack Chair ($99, regularly $169) from Smith and Hawken is a fabulous steal, though plenty of other folks have realized that as well: while the chair was available in sage, white, and red, only the red color is still available. Crafted from durable, weather-resistant acacia and rubberwood, the chairs also feature galvanized hardware and are painted with a matte acrylic.
