The Mahogany Grand Ease Collection
The afternoon that has nowhere to go deserves a chair that knows it.
Classic mahogany Adirondack seating. Built for the long sit. Hand built in Stow, Massachusetts.
BUZZARDS BAY · CAPE COD, MA
The original form.
The long sit.
The wide arm that holds everything.
The Mahogany Grand Ease Collection is the traditional Adirondack form, honored fully and built generously.
The recline is deep and classic — lower and more reclined than the Vantage, closer to the original Adirondack geometry. Once you are in this chair, you have made a commitment. That is not a design flaw. It is the entire point. At 42 pounds, the chair itself has already made the same one.
The arm rests are solid Sapele mahogany — 7 inches of flat surface on each side. Wide enough for a book. Wide enough for a drink. Wide enough for both at once, with room to spare. This is not an accident of proportion. It is a considered decision about what the chair is for.
The mahogany is rich, warm, and deeply figured — the reddish-brown tone and dramatic ribbon grain of Sapele African mahogany. Left unfinished it develops a natural outdoor patina over time. Maintained with periodic oiling it holds its warm reddish-brown character through every season.
This is that chair.
The Signature Wide Arm
The arm that changes everything.
Most Adirondack chairs have arms wide enough to rest your hand. The Grand Ease has arms wide enough to rest your afternoon.
The arm rests are the defining feature of this collection — not because of their dimensions but because of what those dimensions make possible. Built from solid stock ripped to 7 inches - a generous flat surface wide enough for a book on one side and a drink on the other.
It sounds like a small thing. It is not a small thing.
Outdoor Joinery Built to Last
The construction that outlasts the view.
The Grand Ease side table is built the way fine indoor furniture is built, with wood joining wood. Mortise and tenon joints lock the structure together with mechanical precision before the marine epoxy cures. Each joint is drawbored with hand-cut Sapele pins made in the workshop. The drawbore pulls the joint into compression and locks the mortise and tenon permanently, so the structure holds even if the epoxy ever fails.
The table top slats are attached to the apron with hidden hardwood dowels, no fasteners visible from above or below. A single dowel centered on each slat end allows the wood to expand and contract freely across the grain through every season without stress. The joint is pinned in place with a hand-cut Sapele cross pin so it cannot loosen over decades of outdoor use.
It sounds like the kind of detail only a maker notices. When the Grand Ease set is still in the family, it will be the reason why.
