Muskoka chairs for the cottage
Two on the dock, two on the deck, and a set round the fire. It adds up.
A cottage is the chair's natural habitat and its hardest test: sun off the water, a winter under snow, guests who drag chairs to the fire and leave them. Wood was the tradition and the yearly sanding was the price. Recycled HDPE lumber is the same chair without the price.
The layout
Two at the end of the dock, facing the lake. Two on the deck with a table between. Four or six round the fire pit. Most cottages get there over three summers; buying the six together is 25% off every chair. Sets.
Colours
Cedar or Walnut if the cottage is wood; Harbour Grey if it is on the water and you love old cedar; one Red on the dock for the photograph.
Winter
Leave them. If the dock comes out, they come off it; everything else stays where it is. Winter.
