Cedar Log Wooden Lounge Chair

I bought four and two end tables last summer. Either we are getting more popular or these are getting more comfortable because I’ve noticed more people dropping in. And a bathroom or hamburger run? Forget it. Your chair is taken when you get back. So two more in the cart, two more on the front step. One already built.These are extremely durable. They were outside all winter and do look a little faded now, like any unfinished wood product would. But my impression is we have many more years more of life out of these (based on one full summer and one full winter outside)Last weekend someone commented on how comfie the seat was. It is contoured, as is the back, and I’ve sat for hours without getting that bench-bum pain. No cushions and they still work.Putting together can be a slight bear. After the first they go much quicker. I’d recommend doing it on a very flat hard surface so they get built level. We use these on pavers and had I not built them and made them level I’d always be wondering. But it’s the surface, not the chair. When built right they are rock solid.You will need a wooden or rubber mallet. But don’t bang away until you are sure you have it aligned properly. And I will complain that screwing in the reinforcement screws was cumbersome. Possibly the hardest part. (Use a drill, not a screwdriver). But they are the reason these are so solid. Nothing moves after it is built.All in all, an excellent purchase. All six of them. But don’t get extras unless you enjoy company on the weekends.

Along with an end Table we bought a set of these Lounge Chairs. Extremely comfortable. Added plus is the curved front edge which greatly reduces leg cramping. We added a cushion to increase comfort but I honestly think you could get away with nothing added. Love the design and ease of assembly. Note: Pay extra attention when “setting” each piece together. Double check that each attachment point is set firmly into it’s mate. If the alignment is off these chairs will not sit plumb and be slightly off center. I added a glue to each attachment point to increase stability and longevity.

Best outdoor chair. Made in the USA. Very sturdy and comfortable. Reasonably priced! I have bought many Lakeland products and have never been disappointed. Very nice chair!

These are awesome. We got 6 chairs total.Stained the chairs in walnut stain.They were super easy to assemble (about 20 min each). So far they have been trough two really hot summers, lots and lots of rain, one heavy storm and one really cold winter.Yes, there are cracks in the wood, but it does not affect the sturdiness of the chairs. They look like they will last a long time and quite possible be handed down to our children’s children ;)

The seat boards were uneven and required some rework. I sanded it all with a mouse sander after assembly and gave it a coat of spar varnish. It went in a spare bedroom to compliment other rustic furniture. It looks good and is comfortable.

Easy to put together. Comfortable. I finished with tung oil. Looks great. Sturdy.

Yes they are a bit of a pain to put together, yes instructions are a bit vague BUT the chairs are quality, sturdy and very well made. Would recommend the chair.

We have a new patio in the front of our house so we wanted something decent looking for outdoor furniture. For us, this is it. Great looking and also very comfortable. There are no negatives for me but if you are not interested in working through some hands on assembly then you might be a little disappointed with the part of early ownership. As others have mentioned, you will want to use a power screw driver. I can’t imagine how long it would have taken to do this without a power tool. There was a little sweat on the brow even with a power tool. (Maybe I’m a wimp.) I plan to get two more chairs and another end table. Good stuff!!

I love them!!! Last summer, I bought 2 and then bought 2 more. Look at other reviews for assembly comments; I’m glad I did.Roomy! Sturdy! Comfy!I was going to buy two more this year (2019), but they jacked the price up $40 (yikes)

Great idea but there are a couple of problems. Lakeland should spend a little more time drying the wood. Two days in the Ga sun and mine are really cracked….I don’t mean little cracks…I mean the small acceptable cracks that were already there turned into huge gaping cracks. That only means one thing…uncured wood. And one of the holes on the armrest where the leg goes was at least 1/2″ off which made the whole chair sit crazy crooked. It didn’t affect me all that much because it’s sitting on a gravel base, but would never work on a hard surface.

Read the previous reviews and got this chair. I sanded the pieces and used a power screw driver as advised and with a little adjusting here and there came up with an amazingly comfortable, rustic, cool chair. We stained it & my hard to please husband declared it a winner & excellent quality. I would highly recommend this chair & know you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. Want the wee side table next…

Really like these chairs. Bought one to check it out and then purchased another five. Haven’t put the other five together yet, but the one is good. I like it a lot. It’s comfortable, easy to put together and seems sturdy. There are some imperfections (cracks) in the wood (see pic), but as long as you use good protectant you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. These are a good buy.

Love this log furniture! Very sturdy and has lasted with proper maintenance/wood protectant. We have over 34 pieces of Lakeland Mills furniture. Vendor is is awesome to deal with. Highly recommend this great long furniture.

We purchased 4 of the chairs for our fire pit area. The kits arrived quickly and in good condition. We were able to assemble them rather easily – having a power drill/screwdriver and rubber mallet makes the job easier. We plan to use an oil stain on the chairs. After shopping and comparing all summer we are incredibly pleased with the quality and look of these chairs.

My wife and I recently had our front yard completely overhauled and that included adding a paver patio. This required new furniture and we looked high and low, far & wide for attractive, durable and affordable outdoor furniture. Those things typically mean overpaying. Not with Lakeland Mills. The furniture is well made, easy to assemble and good looking! The cracks are natural folks. They’re not defects and they won’t weaken the furniture. To date I’ve purchased 1 round table, 2 end tables, 4 chairs and 1 love seat…and something tells me we won’t stop there.Really appreciate this stuff and the price cannot be beat for the durability of these pieces. If you undersand what you’re buying, you’ll understand what I’m saying. Enjoy!

Easily put together if you are handy and heavy enough to withstand a storm. The wood is completely untreated so I will be using the same sealer as for my deck on it to ensure that it stays as pretty as it is and doesn’t turn grey. It gives the porch a cozy and comfy feel and was well worth the money.

I love this log chair! It’s very comfortable and sturdy. My husband is very picky about his front porch chair and he is really pleased with it

I bought 8 of these chairs I own a hunting lodge and placed them on the back deck. All the hunters comment on how good they sit and how sturdy they feel. I plan to buy more of this furniture. They go together easy 15 minutes per chair.

After a year and a half, I can say that these chairs are beautiful and solid. A real quality product. The initial assembly was a bit challenging, as some of the holes were not aligned correctly, but once assemble and put to use, they have “settled” without rocking or being wobbly. I plan to buy a few more next season. We use them around our campfire.

This Rustic cedar log chair was fairly easy to assemble. I did not have any problems following the directions. I did have problems with the preassembled chair bottom and back. I wanted to apply a stain and UV sealer to protect the chair so I disassembled the chair bottom and backs to stain each piece. It was difficult to remove the screws as 90% of them were driven into the product too far and the screws stripped out the wood so the screws did not back out easily. I had to repair the screw holes prior to reassembly. There were also extra holes in the wood log as if it was assembled incorrectly then reassembled prior to shipping. I would have preferred receiving a completely unassembled kit. one of the chair seat boards had a significant split that I needed to glue and clamp overnight prior to staining. Overall, the price was reasonable but the quality control was not up to my standards

I bought two chairs, a rocker, a love seat and the bench seat with table between. Average time for me to assemble each one was about 10 minutes, and the time shortened as I got the hang of them. Excellent directions, perfectly fitted parts, beautiful result. They had arrived just before a flood of relatives and changed by patio life forever. I expect they will outlive me, and probably age more gracefully than I will.

More comfortable than Adirondack chairs. Very sturdy but portable without a lot of effort. Bought two and they’re just what we wanted. We did end up having to use a power drill for screwing the members into the dowels. No big deal, but the instructions didn’t include that tidbit. Highly recommend these USA made chairs.

Came with cheap hardware. My husband is certain that part of the frame is yellow pine and other parts for the sitting may be cedar.

Once figured out, these are very easy to put together. The back and seat come pre-assembled, so you don’t have to screw on all of those slats. You just fit the back into the seat using the huge pegs/hols built in. Then you assemble each side of legs, tap them in to the chair/back assembly, then drive screws where they tell you to in the instructions. There aren’t pilot holes, so you just have to see where the pegs go into holes and secure by driving screws. Some have said they drilled pilot holes, but I didn’t find that necessary at all. I used a decent cordless drill/driver and the screws went in very easily. Really, don’t get all worked up by splits in the wood, they really do belong, it’s rustic! I finished them with Thompson’s water seal with the natural cedar tint and they look great. I haven’t really sat in them yet, just tried it out real quick after building and before staining. They are shaped very comfortably. I have my two out by a new fire pit and they are the perfect complement.

I bough these exact chairs over 40 years ago and they still exist believe it or not, but they’re really on their last legs…literally, so I bought two more for not much more than I paid 40 years ago. Love these chairs. Easy to assemble, but I am a builder so…I think they’d be easy for anyone to assemble being theres not that many parts, and the instructions are pretty clear.

Assembly instructions need to be a little more detailed.

I had been looking for some time for a good pair of Adirondack chairs for my wife when she stumbled across these and sent me a link. When I had read the reviews and considered the price, it seemed like a win.Upon opening the box, I was a bit disappointed that only the seat back/bottom are sanded (and not that horribly well), the legs and arms are medium rough to downright splinter-y in places. It took me about 30min per chair with a sander to smooth out the rough edges and then another 15mins or so to assemble on average (20min for first and then 10min for second). Another gripe was they give you a dozen or so 5″ wood screws to drill through the joints, but really leave your own for placement.When finished, the chairs are comfortable reasonably substantial even though they might only way 20lbs or something. I am 6′ and 350lbs and I can get in and out of the chairs without worry of anything breaking or cracking and the chair doesn’t creak or wobble like something bad is going to happen.All in all, I would buy again (and we will, probably a matching pair). I docked a star for the finish of the arms and legs and the screw placement, but I would still rate these a pretty good bargain.

I fall in love with it all over again. It is sheer comfort, solid yet soothing. You can look up at the sky or straight ahead. turn left or right, no strain. It is blissful. No pillow is needed to improve that peaceful grace. And at 51″, I was concerned that my feet would be dangling in the air since so many chairs seem to be made for the six-footers. Not a problem. It is truly baffling how each of these furniture pieces could have been made to be so comfortable to so many. Lakeland, I’ve owed you a dedicated gratitude for a long time. My thanks and my best wishes that you continue to embellish the lives of your neighbors and friends.

Amazing and sturdy chairs. We stained them just for looks. Perfect fire pit seats!

Rustic cedar comfortable chairs. You will have to sand the parts before you assemble, but do love them around the firepit.

once you assemble 1 chair the rest are a breeze the 1st one isn’t really bad either. great chairs and very comfortable. will buy other items from this manufacturer without question!! don’t hesitate!

In the picture, it looked like the chair back was leaning back more.

Easy to put together. I love my chairs.

These chairs are awesome. They are well made and simple to assemble. I also purchased an end table. I gave it 5 stars and you can’t beat it for the money. Great products.

Purchased 2 chairs and 2 foot stools. Delivered on time in heavy cardboard pkg which was securely sealed. I stained all parts before assembly with cedar colored water based sealant(Olympic). A 30 ounce can covered 2 chairs and 2 foot stools.(barely). I used a rubber headed mallet, power screw driver and socket wrench. Wood screws are used to secure each joint. The screws are about 4 inches long and you will need a powerful driver to seat them fully. I used soft soap on threads to make install easier. On first chair all parts fit together and took about an hour to assemble. I expect the second assembly to take less than 30 min. the trick is learning at what angle to drive the screws. If you get it wrong the point of screw may extend into seating area (ouch).

Really great chairs – we stained ours a blue-ish color and are leaving them out over the winter in the snow and they are holding up great. These are really unique chairs and a bit different from what I could find locally. They are comfortable and were not too difficult to put together. I didn’t think they sat totally flat but that wasn’t a concern for us as we bought four and put them in sandy area around a fire pit. I would buy them again and would surely recommend them to other people looking for nice outside chairs.

This is the second cedar log chair I have bought from Lakeland Mills. They are very sturdy with mortise and tenon joints and screws where needed. The chairs need to be assembled, but this is easily done, as the mill work is accurate so the chairs come together as designed. The finished product is rugged, comfortable and good looking.

Absolutely great chairs! Perfect for our cabin. We Put 2 coats of clear outdoor poly on them and they turned out just as expected. They are very comfortable.

Update: as mentioned in original review, package arrived un-taped and chair slat cracked. Tried to fix it with wood glue but continued to crack. Contacted Dana @ Lakeland Mills and she quickly shipped a replacement slat. A+ for customer service.Great chairs, definitely give off the Log Cabin vibe. I am a big guy, 250 pounds, and these sit VERY comfortably. Plenty of room for my wide hips and the slope of the seat is perfect – no struggle to get up but still feel slightly reclined. Construction was easy, but laborious. Used a power drill for the screws. Waiting to stain for a while. Nice big thick logs are great – durable and strong. Only issue was one back seat slat was cracked on one of the two chairs we bought. I wood glued it back, no issues. This was damaged because one box arrived open, with NO packing tape ever installed at the factory, so it shipped all the way from Michigan to NC in an open box! yet somehow all the parts showed up ok except that slat.Arrived on time. Love them!

My husband had a koi pond built for me for our anniversary. It is 22’x24′ with big rocks/ boulders all around. It is in sight of the house, but more tucked into the edge of a small meadow, woodsy spot. So any seating that I used had to be to scale or it would have looked silly. But it still needed to be handsome because anyone driving up will see it. And I didn’t want the Adirondack style because those are so hard to get out of! This cedar log style looked like the perfect fit.I ordered two chairs and one love seat. They arrived promptly and my handy neighbor boy put them together easily. He did need a drill. The chairs/love seats are comfortable and handsome. I am 5’4″ and my husband is 6′ and they are comfortable for both of us. The love seats easily fit two adults and a child. After placing them by the pond, I realized I needed another love seat to balance things out so I ordered another. When it came, one of the insert supports had snapped off in the attached “log”. I called customer service from the number on the box. This was about 4:30 on Thursday. The woman was very helpful and explained how to easily remove the broken off plug. The replacement piece was in the mail on Saturday.After the first time we had company over, I realized that just two chairs were not enough! So I am ending up with four of these chairs and two of the love seats. Great product.

I bought three of these chairs and the matching end table to create the setting around our Fire Pit (see picture above). They are contoured just right! The backs don’t lean you back too far, like an adirondack, and they’re not too upright. Plus the front of the seats are contoured for comfort. Shipping was fast and accurate, and the chairs went together well. The backs and seats are pre-assembled in the box, then you put the puzzle together (quite easy really). I was a little concerned about the splits in the wood, but as it explains in the product literature, this is part of the normal drying process for cedar. Time will tell how it stands up over the long haul, but for the reasonable price, they sure feel built to last. They come from Michigan, and being a Northerner myself, I feel more confident about wood craftsmanship in the North. I certainly recommend these chairs, and the table.

Love them. Pissed the carpenter bees think they’re up for real estate.

We ordered 4 chairs and 2 end tables. They were delivered in two days as promised and arrived undamaged.Assembling the chairs is a bit more difficult than your standard furniture assembly. This is mainly because 1) some hammering is required to fit the dowels into the holes and 2) some screwing is required in places where there are no pre-drilled holes. I’d say that a drill-driver is a must for this task.The finished product is very comfortable and looks good. They sit evenly on the floor. I expect that they should last for a long time.

Assembly isn’t that bad but instructions leave a little to be desired (pay attention to details such as pre-drilled arm holes). Very comfy chairs (and this is after hours of use)!

Nice look

Ordered two chairs – knew I would need to pre-drill a few holes and was ok with that..assembly wasn’t too bad. 2nd chair went faster than the first. Was concerned it might not be comfortable, but my husband and I dragged them to the front yard and enjoy a cool beverage while deciding if we liked them. We like them so much , we plan on getting two more.I didn’t want to keep the natural color so I stained both – brings out the rustic. Looks beautiful and can’t wait to move them to the new fire pit. I would highly recommend. Sturdy, not too difficult to assemble and comfortable. Gave it 4 rather than 5 stars just because it would be great if ALL the areas for the screws were pre-drilled.

I have been meaning to write a review on these chairs since my husband and I purchased two of them (in addition to their matching ottomans) in June I but allowed time to get away from me so I sincerely apologize to those of you who may of already purchased this chair and found yourselves feeling as I do. Although the chair LOOKS great (good quality and craftsmanship on at least one of them) it is the most uncomfortable chair I have ever had the misfortune to sit in. The back of it is entirely TOO straight…one of the nice features of an Adirondack is how it seems to allow you to sink back into it just at the right angle to be relaxing and comfortable. NOT the case here. You sit completely upright. Very uncomfortable. Fortunately, I don’t have back problems but if you do, you will not be able to sit long in this chair, it is just that uncomfortable (with or without back/neck issues)The arms of the chair are not long enough so should you want to rest your arms on the armrest it is impossible because they fall off the end (imagine the lower part of your arm, wrist and hand dangling mid air because there is no arm rest to support it… and I am a smaller stature person (5’2) so if MY arms fall off the end of it…any one else’s will probably fall off too. Because we were refurnishing our sun porch we bought two of these chairs (in the same purchase). The second one was made unevenly so every time we sit down in it (which is next to never) it rocks because one of the legs is shorter than the other three. With all fairness to the manufacturer, I let too much time pass and did not inform them of this chair’s defect but I guess to an extent, I asked myself what were they going to do? Tell me to package it back up and return it? Send me another one for free? Fly out to my home and fix it? Hardly, so I just let it go as a huge purchasing mistake. Like I said, if all you want is a chair that will “look” good that you never, ever have plans or desire to sit in…this is the one for you. But if you see this chair and imagine sitting out somewhere, enjoying the weather and relaxing in it after a long day..don’t be a fool like me…that is not going to happen with this chair…keep looking, I sure wish we had before spending so much money on something we can’t even sit in or enjoy.

Only complaint… wish the chair leaned back further. Otherwise… 5 Stars
