The easiest way to carry a Pioneer chair is to have it horizontal by your side, with your arm over it, hugging it to your side.
Now, it will balanced and will snuggle into your side and travel with you effortlessly. What's the trick to opening my chair quickly and effortlessly? Grab ahold of the top two rope knots and pull upward; you will see the seat slats raise. Then, if necessary, give the chair a slight shake. At the back of the chair, your will notice four places where the slats meet together. Your Pioneer Chair is most stiff upon purchase. It will become easier to open and close as it breaks in. How much weight can a Pioneer Chair hold? Both Mahogany and Ash are very strong woods, they have excellent strength-to-weight ratio and our rope is extremely durable. A Pioneer Chair can support up to 300 lbs. Are these chairs therapeutic? Yes, in fact, they are endorsed by a certified Sports Physician and Chiropractor. When seated, the knees are positioned above the hips, relieving tension from the low back. As the muscles are relaxed, circulation improves so that the body can provide areas of need, with healing compounds like anti-inflammatories and endorphins, the body's natural pain killer.
The rope also allows for some give, so that the wood fits into the contours of the back, comfortably. How easy is it to get in and out of a Pioneer Chair?We receive excellent feedback from elderly people, and those with back and hip pain, for this reason. The chair is designed so that you sit comfortably, cradled by the wood. When standing, a slight rock out of it will do the trick. For people who have problems with their back or knees, the best way to get out of the chair is to swing both legs to the side, place a hand on the back of the chair and another on the seat of the chair, and you will be able to push yourself up with ease. Are the chairs finished? I'd like mine stained. In our experience, the chairs weather best naturally. Our hardwoods (African Mahogany and Ash) are naturally weather-resistant due to the oily property of the wood itself. They will stand up for years outdoors, but they do weather over time, changing color and fading with exposure to direct sunlight.
If you do choose to finish a chair, we have found that Teak oil works well or you can ask your local hardware store for advice; recommendations may depend on the conditions of your local area. Keep in mind that it is imperative to use a translucent stain or preservative, and not a latex-based paint product. The easiest way to apply the finish is to use a foam brain and cut it to fit within the cracks. The rope is UV and mold-resistant. Can I leave my chair outdoors? Like all natural wood chairs, Pioneer Chairs naturally weather with time, changing color and fading with exposure to direct sunlight. The chairs on our back porch have been exposed to all weather conditions for over 5 years, and apart from natural weathering, they hold up great! It is completely up to you, if you'd like to preserve the finished look of the hardwood or, allow them to weather naturally. We do recommend bringing the chairs in during the winter season. What's the best way to clean my chair? As a preventative measure, we recommend bringing the chair indoors during the winter.
Occasional rainfall will not harm the chair but, if you do notice discoloration, the best way to clean this is by diluting white vinegar with water, applying to the areas, and removing with a gentle brush. A light sanding with fine sandpaper may also help. Having said this, many of our customers leave our chairs out all year long. Even as they weather, they will remain structurally sound. The rope is rot and UV-resistant. What's the difference between Ash and Mahogany? Ash is lighter in color than Mahogany and Ash is heavier and has beautiful grains. It is an extremely dense and durable wood and is the same wood used in baseball bats and billy clubs. Mahogany comes in rich and subtle hues and is another beautiful wood which has historically been the trusted material for boat-building and fine furniture for many years. They are both durable hardwoods, which resist weathering naturally, due to the oils contained in the wood.Studio DetailRedwood LoungeWide SeatAccent SeatingFriendly ChairsFriendly SeatingCovered PatioElmwoodRustic ChairForwardREDWOOD LOUNGE CHAIR With a deep, wide seat and a defining high back, the redwood chair is a stately as a centerpiece or accent seating.

Popular items for patio chairsDay in The Life | Living in Darwin isn’t for the faint of heart. The most northerly of Australia’s capital cities, Darwin boasts beautiful beaches complete with the occasional salt water crocodile and a wet season to rival the tropics. But for Etsy seller Jen from Mijentto, this pioneer outpost is the type of place where “you just never get around to folding up your chair.” We caught up with Jen to learn more about her handcrafted fashion business. Tell us about yourself, how you discovered your passion for sewing and launched your business: I started sewing in school, then as a teenager sewing became more of a necessity. When I travelled around Australia, of course I took my sewing machine with me. We settled in Darwin 26 years ago, and I just couldn’t find what I wanted, there wasn’t a lot of range in Darwin then.
It was also hard to find good quality and I’m conscious of not buying low quality items, so I sewed my own. I was stocked in shops and did markets, mostly sarongs and purses, then found Etsy through a graphic designer friend. What is one bit of advice you wish you could have told yourself when starting your business? Just to go for it. Don’t be too reserved, and be aware of your pricing. You need to consider your wholesale cost What makes your craft different? It’s my wardrobe online! It’s the things I want to wear, I like simple lines and putting my own twist on things. When you’re selling online, things need to have an easy fit, and being in Darwin, they need to be cool and loose. Run us briefly through a typical day in the life of you: When I get a day in my studio, I start with exercise, because I’m usually sitting or standing all day when I’m sewing. I do start with a plan but it usually goes out the window! I do any orders I have first and then start playing with different ideas and new fabrics.
What do you love most about living in your town/city: The ease, and the outdoorness. Seeing Darwin grow over the last 26 years and become more eclectic and diverse and more metro, more cosmopolitan What are your favourite places to visit in your city? Darwin Ski Club, it’s next to the museum, and they have live music, The waterfront at Old Stokes Hill Wharf, and the Deck Chair Cinema during the dry season where you can eat, drink, see the sunset over the bay and watch a movie, it’s really lovely. I also love getting out of the city and going bush. What is the best part about selling on Etsy and living in Darwin? Being in Darwin and selling online opens up a whole new world. I can be more courageous online (markets are tough sometimes), and there’s so much supportive feedback and a great community. Connection through disconnection, I guess. Although, the weather in Darwin makes it tricky because it’s too hot to ever model anything with long sleeves
