Adirondack Reclining Chair, $179

L.L.Bean's classic lawn chair reclines to three positions to accommodate progressive states of relaxation. Constructed from solid maple and finished with weather-resistant paint, this chair is fittingly designed for the lazy: Even when it's uncovered, it will withstand the rain (however, it should not be left outdoors over the winter). Those who can't be bothered to haul patio furniture into the cellar in October can upgrade to the All-Weather model (reclining chair, $249), which is made with a chip-proof wood lookalike formed out of recycled milk jugs. (You have to assemble both versions of the Adirondack — but fortunately only once, since you need a tool box and a little patience to put it together.) If you're looking for some cushioning, opt for L.L.Bean's line of coordinating pillows; standard cushions may not fit.
