It is our personal belief that each season comes with its own ideal place to perch. For winter it's a shearling lounge seat while fall beckons a rocking chair parked on the front porch. For spring, we love a hanging egg chair while for summer we undeniably need an Adirondack chair. Before you rush out to snag the beloved seat though, know that there are quite a few options out there, and we may have just happened upon the best one: Adirondack chairs with a pull-out ottoman. Did we mention the style is so popular that it's almost sold out?

Make no mistake, the Adirondack chair isn't anything new to the slew of outdoor essentials. In fact, when designer Thomas Lee first introduced his wooden marvel to the world in 1903, it was met with instant infatuation. In other words, anyone who enjoyed leaning back and taking in the view was quick to snap up the chair, and it never lost its illustriousness decades later. With wide armrests and a back that's sloped to the ultimate lounging angle, the Adirondack chair has become a backyard mainstay that captures the coastal grandmother spirit. However, a few brands are giving the classic chair a refresh with a few innovative upgrades.

Case in point: GreenVines's Adirondack that comes with an adjustable backrest. Unlike traditional options, which are often made with wood, this pick uses a durable, high-density polyethylene that's both waterproof and resistant to UV damage. But where this chair really shines is in its stealth detailing: Hiding inside this Adirondack chair's seat is a retractable ottoman that lets you kick up your feet and enjoy a well-deserved break after grilling, gardening, or swimming.

Of course, the perks don't stop there. Want to enjoy an icy beverage mid-lounge? Each of the chair's armrests hide a sizable cup holder so you keep your drink close by for when the clock strikes 5 p.m. The chair also comes in four versatile colors—blue, gray, brown, and white—all of which are neutral enough to pair well with any patio furniture you may already have on hand. At $200, the GreenVines Adirondack chair isn't exactly cheap, but its updated design tweaks make it one seat you can easily spend all summer in. However, if you're looking to spend a little less, we found a few budget-friendly alternatives below.
