By Tanisha Berg


At certain peak of time as modernization gradually shaped our world. Crafting wood work is one of the things still used up until today. We get inside to a deeper thought of how wood material come to life as an elegant furniture. Adirondack chair is one of them that has a story to tell.

Adirondack chair is originally named after Adirondack mountains which is located at the northeastern part of new york state. It was designed by a man named Thomas Lee sometime during 1903 when he had a vacation with his family in westport new york. Mr. Lee built it out of necessity trying to find what was lacking in the ambiance of enjoying the view of the mountains. The wooden adirondack chairs san antonio tx is one of the finest.

A hunting buddy and carpenter named, Harry Bunnell visited Mr. Lee. As the friends relax during the holiday season, Bunnell asked Lee if he could replicate the same design to be sold in his local shop. Lee was kind enough to agree for he knew Bunnel was broke and is in need of extra cash. Not knowing as soon as he handed over the plans it was the seal deal of betrayal at hand.

Friendship that was all the reason why Thomas Lee was willing to help Harry Bunnell. He did not ask for something in return upon giving the plans. Despite when Bunnell claimed it as his own when he filed legal actions to claim it as his own. There were no records that Lee chased him to press charges.

Thomas Lee did not hesitate help his friend in need. He gave his design plans without formal signing of waver or contract. He knew that Bunnell needed extra funds for his financial demise. This is where Bunnell grabbed the opportunity to own them when he filed for a patent to claim it as if it was his own.

The very lay out of the chair makes it stand firm as it is. Just like from the name itself was derived from. From its straight or well rounded back support to its wide curved or straight broad armrests perfect for the elbow support and soothing hand grip anyone can experience.

Another improvement that has been added to the bench are different wood finishing touches such as paint and varnish. For further increasing its durability and maintaining the beauty of the said outdoor furniture. Additional enhancement is the application of fiber glass material instead of its original wood material.

San Antonio is home to some of the finest craftsmen that make these remarkable chairs. Finished products are remarkably sold throughout the united states and is even exported around the world. They offer a wide variety furniture to choose from and these chairs are amongst the best sellers.

Although the story of the chair is somehow tragic it taught us few things. To be kind out of helping a friend in need who is in need of help. It is not just about giving ideas or handing out cash but it is the act of helping someone is what actually changes the course of someones fate. On the other hand, to be cunning is in all of us. We do things to survive, it is a matter of morality if you can tolerate your conscience to commit betrayal in order to survive. Either way, we can think all of these things later by the time we sit and relax on an adirondack chair.
