What Customers Are Saying

Had a pair of chairs and an ottoman made for us. They are so comfortable! I love that they have a "short chair" option since it's usually a struggle to get out of these types of chairs as a 5ft tall person. Beautiful stain, excellent craftsmanship, and just a super great experience all around! Highly reccomend!!

I love my Adirondack rocking chairs made by Dylan at Old Bridge Farm. He made them so lovingly and they were ready fairly quickly after ordering them. They are more comfortable than other Adirondack chairs I looked at, and it was so fun to see the rural farm and workshop where they were made just for me! They did not come painted, and would also look great natural. I highly recommend working with Dylan! You’ll love your chairs!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do we get our wood and other materials?

We get our rough-cut pine boards from Richmond Clapboards, LLC., a local saw mill in Richmond, NH, with whom we have a long standing relationship. Our white cedar boards are sourced from Kerber Farms & Mill Lumber Co., located in Guilford, Vermont. Hardware and other materials such as glue and finishes are sourced from either Choice Industrial Solutions or Hamshaw Lumber Inc., both located in Keene, NH. 

How long do our Adriondack products last?

The longevity of our furniture varies widely based on coating options, materials, environmental conditions, and seasonal care. We have several uncoated chairs at the farm that have been left outside, year-round, for over ten years that are still functional, if a little worse for wear. We've also seen examples of stained chairs that have been left outside for 3 years that did not hold up well at all comparatively.

With the right care, our chairs can last indefinitely, but the "right care" can be tedious and inconvenient for some people. With our repair policy however, customers can come and have us revitalize old and tired products for as long as we're still in business. 

Do we ship and/or deliver?

At the moment, we do not have the ability to ship our larger products, but we do offer delivery services for local and regional customers! Delivery fees are calculated based on distance and driving time, so ask us for a quote if delivery is something that you are interested in. 

How do I care for and maintain my Adirondack furniture?

Our care and maintenance recommendations vary based on the coating and material selections of your product. In general though, we recommend placing our furniture on dry, hard surfaces to prevent rotting and keeping them under cover during the winter season.

 

Uncoated chairs will weather and age over time, developing a grey patina. Some cracking and checking of the wood will occur, and the sanded finish will become rougher as well. Checks and cracks usually don't affect the structural soundness of our furniture, and some light sanding will keep the texture of the wood soft and smooth. 

 

Stained chairs will maintain their original color much longer, and the wood will be much less prone to checking and cracking. Water-based stains should be reapplied every 2 to 5 years to maintain the UV and mildew resistance, while oil-based stains should be reapplied every 4 to 6 years. Damage and wear to coatings can be touched up, but be sure to note which product was used on your item.

Why are the products "backordered" on the website?

We try our best to have items in inventory but typically work on an order basis. Each chair is built and geared towards customer orders... 

Where can I pick up my order?

We are flexible when it comes to order pickup and make it as easy as possible for our customers. Please message us to arrange a pick-up. You can either swing by the farm or meet us at the various markets and fairs we attend. 

Do we attend markets and craft fairs?

Old Bridge Farm attends various markets and craft fairs in Keene and surrounding Cheshire county. Most notable markets include the Keene Farmers market and Keene Summer & winter craft fest. This is a great place to test the chairs out for yourselves and meet us in person.
