BEDROOMS, I purchased these pillow covers and replaced them with the very dated pillows covers I had previously.  Great purchase.  If you’re a good seamstress you can change your pillow covers and restitch them and/or add a zipper.  If you’re like me and not the best with a sewing machine then look for pillows that have zippers and “whola” unzip, pull out pillows and replace cover(s) with ease.

POOL AREA: Navy blue and white tends to scream nautical. Red and teals, are also an option.

Sit back and enjoy spending time with your friends or family.  These chairs not only look great, but are comfortable too.  The feature of the extra wide arms add as a nice side table to set that cold drink on while your relaxing.  The extra wide curved seat adds comfort as you slide down into it.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR

They come in multi colors and are made of various materials such as wood, polywood, or plastic.  Some come with stainless steel marine-grade fasteners which makes for a sturdier chair.  These chairs start as low as $45.00.  If you plan on using the chair on a daily basis or frequently, I would recommend spending a little more money on it.  Some Adirondack chairs offer an ottoman.  Most are sold separately, as well as side tables.   Adding cushions is always a nice touch for both comfort and style.

FEATURES:

Some Adirondack chairs you are able to stack for easy storage.  Another nice feature to look for are ones that fold.  Be sure the chair you choose is sturdy.  Most will provide the average weight it can hold.  From most I’ve researched 250lbs to 300lbs is pretty standard.
