The chair you see in the photo above is a new and much loved fixture on my back deck. I have long been in love with Adirondack chairs but I wasn’t willing to buy plastic ones and the wooden ones are actually quite a bit of work to maintain. Every year it seems you need to sand and paint them or end up with splinters in your derriere and a pretty sad looking chair.
So when Trex Outdoor Furniture contacted me and asked to me review one of their recycled plastic Adirondack chairs I was… well, let’s just say I was VERY happy. I could see myself getting some daily sun in this chair… watching my kids play while I enjoyed a good book, and generally just finding more mom time in my own personal chair. Lucky for me it is as perfect as I hoped and I can heartily endorse this garden furniture.
The actual chair is their Cape Cod Adirondack and each one is made from 240 recycled milk jugs. The actual ratio of recycled plastic versus new plastic is pretty darn impressive… 90%. Often times when we think of recycled materials we think of down-cycled products like children’s toys and such but this is definitely up-cycled… meaning they took the plastic and turned it into something of better quality or a higher environmental value. The design is also fabulous. It doesn’t look like plastic at all. The faux wood grain makes it look like a luxurious wood chair but unlike wood this chair doesn’t retain water, get overly dirty, splinter, require painting, or I would wager look dingy after its first summer or two. It is an absolutely gorgeous chair.
It comes in variety of colors too. I got the classic white but I they also offer it in dark green, brown, tan, sand, stone, and black. You can get the chair as a stand alone or with the matching Cape Cod Ottoman. And of course they also offer chair seat cushions. The beauty above is their Bravada Salsa cushion. Orange may just be my fave color so of course I had to have it. Their web site does not indicate that the cushion is made of recycled materials but you can always make your own if you want.
I have only had it for a few weeks now I but I seem to find reasons to go out and sit in it several times a day. It is super
comfortable as well as super durable. Seeing it on my back deck is a reminder that my sad looking deck needs sanded and painted, LOL. It just goes to show that recycled plastic products can be an amazing convenience for us. We are taking plastics and giving them a new and useful life AND making our lives easier by purchasing products that will not require the care and upkeep that wood does.
The shipping aspect was also quite nice. It arrived on a big truck fully assembled. Plus my kids loved the giant box and played with it for days before they tore it asunder. The only tricky aspect was carrying this HEAVY chair to the back yard but it was well worth it. Doesn’t my mom space (above) look cozy? Yep! Now I can grab a book and my glass water bottle and chill for a bit each day while the kids play. It is the perfect
I’d love to lounge on this chair with my new baby and watch my preschoolers run around in the yard! Thanks! Cool chair.
Oh my goodness I would love to win this! It would be such a blessing! I would see myself enjoying this in my yard sipping on some ice cold lemonade, while indulging in my favorite read. But in all reality, I would probably be able to lounge in it for a few minutes before my little blessing tries to climb all over me. :) lol
Thank you!

I love Adirondack style chairs! I would love to be able to replace one of my cheapo plastic ones with one of these :)

I love porches: I oogle over the “Out on the Porch” wall calendar every year and my business is called “Front Porch Yoga.” I have always wanted to own an Adirondack chair, which to me is the epitome of porch luxury. If I owned a Trex Adirondack chair, I would plan my yoga classes and watch the sunrise from the comfort of this chair!
I just “liked” Trex on FB! So excited about the possibility of winning this chair :) What an amazing gift!
Would LOVE to win this giveaway. I could see myself in the shade nursing my baby, reading a book or magazine, watching my little garden grow, knitting when I find time to do that again, etc.

Oh my! This is just what I need in my little backyard! I have been looking at Adirondack chairs but not made the move because I hate the plastic ones and did not want a super heavy duty wood one! I love the fact that this is 90% recycled material!!!! Trex Outdoor Furniture rocks just for that!!! Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for this AWESOME giveaway!!!!
This chair would be perfect on my country porch.

I’m getting ready to move to a new home and it has a great backyard that I will definitely need to sit in! I’d love this chair.
I’d love to sit in my backyard with my little peanut on my lap!
I’m pregnant and could use help finding a comfy seat in the shade this summer! :)
This would be perfect for me to sit in with my infant son while my daughter plays on our front patio. Thanks!
This looks wonderful!
I want the chairs AND a new Trex deck!!! We have to resand and repaint our wood deck this summer, too…not looking forward to that. Not only is it a lot of work, but requires inhaling fumes from gross products that I’d rather not use.
I would love this chair! My hubby and I love to watch the sunrises and sunsets and I am pregnant (due this month!) and my 13 month old is quite an outdoor lover also. We are getting a sandbox for the kiddos and I will be able to rest while hubby grills. Right now we only have two plastic lawn chairs that stink so bad we couldn’t use them in the house (somehow a bad armpit ingrained the smell into the plastic).
I would enjoy my courtyard flower garden in a chair like this. I would relax and watch the birds and butterflies from the comfort of my new chair.

I have wanted an Adirondack chair FOREVER! I would put it on my front porch as my designated reading chair!
I would love this chair to read in and watch my kids play in the yard. Would be perfect on my patio amidst my flower pots.
This would be so nice to have. Coffee in a comfy chair, early mornings listening to the birds singing, perfection.
I would place the chair under a shady tree and read books to my kids…for as long as they will sit with me. Then I’ll read for myself while they play!
I would give it to my amazing Mom. She deserves a thank you…and we just cleared all the clutter (tubs of mine from college) off her back porch…had a garage sale and took the rest to Goodwill. Now the porch is bare, she needs a chair, and I would love to be able to say such a great thank you to her for being such a great Mom.
what a fantastic chair! and I love that it is 90% recycled milk jugs. So awesome.
oh, and I can see myself kicking back, reading a book. Lovely!
It’d be beautiful on our dock. :)
Would love to sit on this and dip my toes in the water, while my kiddos play in their kiddie pool.
I would relax in shade of our trees after a day of gardening with a big jar of sun tea! It is a beautiful chair ~ I would also enjoy removing one of the sad sun bleached not very comfortable chairs from our patio!
I just love that chair! And to be able to afford one would be a dream:) To relax in it would also be a dream, right now I would just sit outside in the chair and watch my kids play and dig in the dirt.
Thank you for your awesome blog, Courtney
Would relax in the back yard while watching the Little Ones laugh and play with their toys and our loving dogs!!
I am pregnant now and would LOVE to relax and read a magazine in this beautiful chair!
I would do exactly what you have done! Bask in the sun with my nursling while my oldest plays. What a great giveaway!!!
I would use this chair in my backyard while reading your blog and researching what to do with Trex products on my laptop of course ;o) But in all seriousness, my 13-month old loves to go outside and this chair would give us the chance to sit together and enjoy looking for birds, planes and bugs. It would also be great to use this chair for some much needed downtime after tending to our vegetable and fruit garden (the weeds seem to be never-ending) or to relax and take some time for myself while my daughter is napping inside.

Oh how I would sit in the sun and watch my sweet lil one play in her pool. If I got mommy time, a book in hand would be a must! Great giveaway!

Oh man. That is a gorgeous chair.
We just moved and we still have our old, cheap deck chairs – I would love something as comfortable, beautiful, and environmentally friendly to sit out on my back patio in. It’d be even more loved next year – baby #2 is due in November, when it would be too chilly to use it, but to sit out in the shade and be comfortable while nursing #2, while watching #1 run around and play…sounds like bliss to me.
I would like to sit in this chair while drinking tea and watching my girls play in the sand box as I look at Mt. Rainier from our deck.

I would love to park one of these on my front porch to sit in when the kids aren’t content to stay in the fenced back yard. When I wasn’t sitting in it, it would be just the thing my boring porch needs to give it a little more personality.
I could see myself relaxing in this after a long day with my two kiddos. It would be on my back patio. I would sit with a tall glass of water with lemon in it, have my laptop out, and just relax. Oh, I would just so love to win this. :-)

Great giveaway – thanks!
I would use it in the backyard while lounging, reading, and watching the kids play. No doubt one of my kids would find me and we would snuggle and read while enjoying the great outdoors.

Love that it is recycled! If I won this chair I would give it to my mother. For as long as I can remember she has always loved being in her garden. When I think of her in her element, I think of her with bare feet and green thumbs! What a great addition this would be to her garden! Thanks for the opportunity to dream!! :-)

What a wonderful chair! I’ve been wanting an Adirondack chair for years! Like you, I didn’t want to purchase plastic. Wood is pretty expensive. But wow, great to find one made from recycled materials. I’m so happy retailers are finally going green.

Thanks for posting info on this. It seems that you can change the color scheme of the cushion to suit any theme you have in mind while sacrificing the look of the furniture. Good read.
That is one lucky winner. Haven’t you thought how many trees are being brought down just to make furniture? Good thing that these recycled plastic chairs are made.
nice post. Now you can find online b2b marketplace for bulk plastic furniture import & export business.
This is very useful information shared here. I am
really thankful for this. 99th.co.in
