We needed chairs for around our outdoor fire pit, and wanted a design that felt both transitional and modern. The classic Adirondack silhouette is always timeless, but the straight back and wide planks of the Legion gave the fresh feel we were after. This chair is extremely comfortable and sits more than sturdy for both my husband and me (I'm 5'3", he's 6'1"). They fold up and store well on bike hooks in the garage. Assembly required two glass of wine... But WELL worth the challenge!
