I have an extreme & unyielding position that Adirondack chairs are only for sky gazing. I'm at a cafe with outdoor seating composed of Adirondacks. It's nice that they're solid & hold up to the elements but these chairs are a bizarre choice around a table for eating and drinking. My body is tilted away from the table! I'm furious actually. I hate harmful design. It hurts my back to fight the chair & bend forward. Foolish!
