The wood is the foundation of this chair the same way it has been at our in Edmore, Michigan since 1923. Contoured seat slats shaped for real extended sitting. Mortise and tenon joints at the structural connections. Galvanized exterior hardware throughout. A chair built with the expectation that it will be outside, under real weather, for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the Material Is the Decision\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a lot of wood outdoor lounge chairs available online that look nearly identical to this one. Most of them are made from Chinese fir. Chinese fir isn't rot-resistant, and it doesn't hold up outdoors beyond 1 to 3 years before joints loosen and the wood begins breaking down. Northern White Cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant — the wood itself resists outdoor conditions without chemical treatment. Under normal outdoor use, a Northern White Cedar chair lasts 10 to 20 years. That's not a marketing claim. That's the material difference between a wood that was selected for outdoor furniture because of its properties, and one that was selected because it's inexpensive to import.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLounge Position, Cedar Log Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lounge configuration angles the seat further back than an upright chair, lower to the ground, with the back angle set for sitting a while rather than sitting properly. The contoured seat slats follow the natural position of the body at rest. Pair with the Cedar Log Ottoman (CF1220) to bring your feet up. Move it around a porch or yard easily — Northern White Cedar is lightweight for its strength. Finish as you prefer: leave it to weather naturally to silver-grey, or treat it with any outdoor-rated oil, stain, or paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% Northern White Cedar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Mortise and tenon joints, galvanized exterior hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: Natural cream — weathers to silver-grey, or apply a penetrating oil, stain, or paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips partially assembled with all hardware and instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in Edmore, Michigan — family-built since 1923\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: CF1136\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Visit Furniture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67875666886826,"sku":"VF15-CF1136","price":289.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/0334\/6858\/files\/vf-styled-hero-15450226720938-b73ed2beb22f.jpg?v=1794299004","url":"https:\/\/visitfurniture.com\/products\/american-cedar-log-lounge-chair-cedar-log","provider":"Visit Furniture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
