Known to generations of cottagers, vacationers, and many who just know how to relax, this ever-popular furniture set is a common site on the best docks, porches, and decks in the country.

BONUS: For completely full-size plans, drawn on oversize sheets, order our Muskoka/Adirondack chair, and its matching table and footstool plan. While slightly more expensive, these plans allow you to trace individual parts right on to your wood, so there is no chance for mistake.

With this version, we are introducing a new design that simplifies construction, and that minimizes cost. Still regarded as one of the most comfortable ever designed, the chair offers excellent support for your back, and the seat is angled so your feet rest easily on the ground. The footstool adds another element of comfort, and with the table by your side, cool drinks, books and suntan lotion will always be within reach.

Our set was painted white for a crisp, clean look, but feel free to choose a wood that you can handsomely stain, or leave to age gracefully, as you might with western cedar. To save you money, plans for all three pieces are drawn on one complete plan that comes with a shopping list, cutting schedule, step-by-step instructions and photography.
