Not a lot of information on this question in the description or the reviews.
I'm willing to protect it with something, I'm just not sure what would actually work well…
I bought the natural version a couple weeks ago. They're pretty high quality treated timber. No knots. Nice select pine and double kilm dried. Took stain well. If you buy the pre-stained ones here (which are a fantastic deal), I would just use a decent wood/deck sealer on them every year. They should last 7-15 plus years in the Midwest on a patio. They'll probably crack apart before they rot.
Also, the design is really nice because they're super comfortable but not super bulky or too reclined like most Adirondack chairs. They take up less space and are more multi-purpose.

That's all great to hear -- ty for letting us know. I think I'll take the dive with two of the stained version. I was hesitant until now.
Noob q's: Would there be any advantage to immediately giving the pieces a coat of wood/deck sealer (before I assemble)? Would I want to lightly sand first?
Also -- are you thinking 7+ years including leaving them outside on your deck in Midwest winters -- or storing them for a few months while it snows?
Good to know they're also ergonomically comfortable. Thanks again.

Absolutely not. My guess is these chairs are serviceable for 2-3 years, max, with mild temps and being exposed to rain. Spend more and get poly chairs that will last 7+ years, look and feel better, and take zero maintenance.

I agree with you that the composite chairs are way less work, but heavy treated pine construction with full dimension lumber will last a long time too, just with a lot more effort!
I based the 7-15 years on the fact that I have typical treated pine (45lb or more...) adirondack reclined chairs on our uncovered deck that are now over 10 years old fully exposed in Indiana and still 95% solid. All hardware was replaced a few years back as the zinc steel doesn't last in salt treated timber (upgrade to stainless). They were painted at about 5 years with exterior paint and that has trapped some water creating some rot around screws on the armrest 1x boards. Yes, they could use a sanding and another paint job...but I'm done with that. I would only recommend good quality non-surface-building stain for these chairs or any treated pine outdoor furniture. My preference is for this product line https://www.readyseal.com/
By comparison, these home depot chairs have similar build quality, they are just more compact. If you seal them annually with a deck sealer or true stain/sealer (readyseal) in the fall, they will last several winters and summers at a minimum.
High quality, heavy plastic is MUCH less work and does pay for itself over time. But, it's plastic. Wood has it's place too. If you want to save money vs teak, check out eucalyptus furniture, it's usually 50% less money and almost as dense and rot resistant. It's not as temperature stable though and will tend to split more after many winters. If you seal eucalyptus annually, it might last a few decades outside (like teak). Cedar is great too, but only about as hard and strong as pine, so it's most appropriate for rustic designs. If you could find native black locust made furniture, you would probably beat teak.

But then I'd have plastic chairs. I'm up for the effort that's involved to have wood.
And I'll store them from November to April (I'm in the PNW).
Poly chairs have their place, thanks. But not in my line of sight ;-)

They're also different chairs. Styling is diff, and the pair indicates they're folding versions, or some such.
