Folding Cedar Lounger

-This Cedar Lounger kit is very eye pleasing with flowing lines, comfortable to lounge on your deck or by the pool for hours, and has a great feature being that it folds in half with no tools for easy slim storage for the winter or when not in use.

-The two-slat headrest is removable for a shorter person if needed and removes when the lounger is folded, to be stored separately.

-Seating surface is 21" wide so most standard size chair cushions will fit.

-This premium tight-grain lumber is sourced from Old Growth Western Red Cedar, which is highly sought after worldwide and becoming increasingly rare. In lumber and furniture, you get what you pay for—lower-priced options simply can't match the quality, and there's a clear reason for the difference in cost.

-I use premium, quarter-sawn vertical grain, clear lumber to craft each chair, ensuring that every piece is not only unique but also of the highest quality, making it costly to produce.

-This kiln-dried lumber has been heat-treated in a specialized kiln to reduce its moisture content to a very low level, far lower than what’s typically found in big-box store lumber. This process ensures the wood is more stable and durable.

-"Clear" lumber means no knots, giving a blemish free look of perfection. Cedar is perfect for outdoor furniture because of it's light weight and resistance to decay.

-Starting with full 1-inch thick rough-cut wood, I end up with the thickest possible finished product after planing and sanding. Cheaper chairs often use thinner lumber to stretch their materials.

-Specialized shoulder bolts are used for the pivots with nyloc nuts so the chair can fold and unfold without the bolts loosening. 305 & 316 stainless steel fasteners used throughout. Regular 18-8 stainless is what most chair manufacturers use because it is cheaper but the tannins in cedar will discolour the screws & bolts.  Not all stainless steel is equal. 

-The packaging is completely plastic-free. I use satchels of fragrant cedar chips as filler, and everything in the box is either reusable or made from 100% recyclable cardboard and paper.

-All shaping is done by hand in small batches using powered tools, following a "quality over quantity" approach. I often sell out during the busy spring and summer months, but I’m always making more, so restocks are typically quick.

Specifications

-Dimensions are approximately 72" long, 21" wide, and 26" tall at the headrest and weighs 24lb or 11kg. See photo 10 for full dimensions.
