You can’t go wrong either way! Our cedar chairs are made from western red cedarwood, which is more durable than Adirondack chairs and therefore does not necessarily require treatment, allowing you to age it naturally. However, pine Adirondack chairs provide a similar look and feel while being more cost-effective. If you’re looking to age your chair naturally, or if you live in an area with extreme weather, we recommend a cedar chair. If you’re looking for a beautiful chair but you’re on a budget, the pine chair is an excellent option.
