POLYWOOD AD420CR Modern Adirondack Chair, Crimson Red

I bought this POLYWOOD AD420CR Modern Adirondack Chair, Crimson Red.We have 8 of the Polywood Adirondack Chairs and end tables in their Teak color.We also have Adirondack Chairs and end tables from a few other brands of the recycled plastic too.The Polywood Brand is one of our favorites!They are fairly affordable, very durable, and they are quite strong, as they are rated to support up to a 400 lb. person.They are made from the HDPE (High-density Polyethylene) recycled plastic.The HDPE seems to be longer lasting, more durable, stronger, and less brittle than the less expensive plastic furniture that is made from Polystyrene.We live in a rural mountain location that gets the extremes of weather, from 100+ degree days in Summer down to -10 Degrees and lots of snow in winter, which is all pretty harsh for any kind of outdoor furniture.Even though we always put all of our outdoor furniture away in the garage every winter, we still had to eventually mess with refinishing our real wood Adirondack furniture every few years. My husband totally dislikes working with wood, and I am just sort of lazy, so that is why we finally switched over to this recycled plastic type of outdoor furniture! It is very easy maintenance with it, if you can hold a garden hose!So why a Red Chair?Although all of our Polywood brand of Adirondack furniture is in the attractive and practical Teak Brown color, and that color looks awesome out on our Redwood deck, I really wanted a bold Red Chair, just for me! So I picked this more Modern style of Adirondack Chair in the Crimson Red Color.When I 1st got this Crimson Red chair, I thought I had been sent the Sunset Red color by mistake, as the Red is quite bright! Upon checking the serial number sticker on the bottom of the seat of this chair, and then communicating with the Polywood Company about it, and then finally actually buying some of their color samples off their website, including both of their red colors, I can now, very confidently, confirm that I did indeed receive the Crimson Red color.The chair assembly was pretty easy because I had my husband do it and it comes half-way assembled anyway. He has plenty of practice with assembling all our plastic Adirondack furniture now, so it took him maybe 10-15 minutes to get this chair unboxed and assembled.ME? Well I'm an EXTREMELY Happy Camper now with my beautiful, cheerful, Crimson Red chair!I had wanted it in the curve-back style, but this Crimson color only comes in the straight-back style. It is still very comfortable and the seat is only about 1.5 inches smaller that the curve-back style, but the flat-back style is a bit lower at the seat than our other Polywood Nautical Curve-back Adirondack chairs. This style also is lower in the backrest and it does not come up to your neck so no head-rest pillow needed for this one. I think the curve-back style might have a higher back, which I would have preferred, but it did not come in the Crimson Red color, AND that was/is the color I had my heart set-on!As far as trying to choose between the 2 different red colors:I think the Sunset Red color is a bit more on the Orangish side. Maybe most people would call this a true red?The Crimson Red is just a bit more of a Barn-Red color, which is a tad darker with a bit of a brownish hue to it.So, although the Crimson Red color is still a bright Red, it is not quite as bright at the Sunset Red color is.It also depends on the lighting angle and time of day that you are looking at both of these 2 red colors. They seem to change depending on the viewing angle, and at some points they both seem to be about the same color!Anyway, I am so totally happy with my pretty Crimson RED Chair! Now I guess I'll need a Crimson Red end-table to go with it. I have it sitting on a small, back door porch area that is my private little retreat, meditation, prayer and reading area. It is away from our big deck and group of other Adirondack chairs. Husband has his shop area, and now I have my little outdoor Happy-Place too!

Nice product. Would have been a 5 if I didn't have to go to the hardware store. Most likely Amazon's problem because the box was very beat up on arrival. Do yourself a favor and take a grinder and cut the T handle off the hex wrench and chuck it up in a drill. Cut's assembly time in half :-)

This is the 7th of these chairs. Before there was quality preparation and ease in assembly. However unfortunately this last chair had mis matched and poorly constructed parts. My husband works in construction and had no problem with our first 6 chairs. However the chair we just received was a dramatic drop in quality for Polywood. Beware that you may need extra time and tools to assemble.

Solid quality

This chair is sturdy but so perfect for outside on the patio.

We love our chairs! We purchased two and my husband and I had a contest to see who could put one together the fastest. We each had one person to help us and I won! The assembly directions were easy to follow and it didn’t take them long to put together. Our chairs sit outside by our pool and have withstood the extreme heat we have had this summer. They have been a great addition to our outdoor space! I enjoy sitting in them while reading, they have been comfortable and are sturdy.

I bought these to replace some wooden ones that were about 5 years old and showing their age. I bought 4 of them and each one arrived in good condition. They each took about 10 minutes to assemble. The kit comes with everything that you need, with the exception of a 7/16th wrench. The Allen key that came with the kit pretty good quality.All of the chairs were assembled pretty easy with no issues with hole alignment. I had bought the chairs without thoroughly reading the description. These chairs do not fold. However they are extremely sturdy when assembled.I'm 5'10" and my wife is 5'0" and we both find these chairs to be comfortable. The arms are flat so you can rest a glass on one.

Easy to assemble quality looks and longevity

Love these chairs- a smaller version of traditional Adirondeck- but love the modern look and colourEasy to assemble although picture of screws in directions were different than what came with it but was able to figure it out

Super easy to assemble. However the manufacturer does some pre-assembly. Unfortunately one of the screws poked through on the arm rest. Little disappointing with the price you pay and it’s in a spot that you will always feel and notice.

Really like the tangerine color Adirondack chairs. Good quality product. Easy to assemble.

Poor fit and finish

Very happy with this purchase. Very easy to assemble, look great and seem to tolerate the weather well
