have found it helpful to have a second
person assist with assembly.

Connectors.
STEP 4
Attach the Front Leg Assembly (B) to
the Seat Assembly(A) using two 1/4" x
20 x2" Joint Connectors, two 1/4"

into the Seat Assembly (A). Place
washer on end of Joint Connector and
finish with lock nut. Repeat for other
side. Note: Do NOT tighten joint
connectors completely.

20 x2" Joint Connector, one 1/4"

Assembly (A). Place washer on end of
Joint Connector and finish with lock nut.
Repeat for other side.

Attach the Right Arm Assembly (D) to
the top of the Front Leg Assembly (B)
using one 1/4" x20 x2" Joint

pre-drilled hole in the Front Leg
Assembly (B), through the pre-drilled
hole in the Right Arm Assembly (D)
before putting on the washer and the
lock nut. Repeat the same procedure for
attaching the Back Leg (C) to the Right
Arm Assembly (D). Note: Do NOT
tighten joint connectors completely.
Repeat the above steps to attach the Left
Arm Assembly (E).
STEP 7

the Bottom Cleat of the Back Assembly.

washers through the predrilled holes in
the arm cleats, then into the predrilled
holes of the middle back cleat of Back
Assembly (F). Insert one 1” Lag Bolt
with washer through the hole in the
center hole of the lower back cleat in
Back Assembly (F) and into the center
seat support.

CARE
Thank you for choosing our classic L.L.Bean
Adirondack furniture. The natural,finished
furniture is made of solid oak and finished
with a wood preservative. This oak
hardwood will gray slightly as it ages.
Painted furniture is made of maple hardwood
and finished with a rugged weather-resistant
acrylic paint. All of our Adirondack
Furniture is made in the United States.
Recommendations for extending the life of
your furniture:
•During inclement weather and off-
season, bring furniture indoors or
use a furniture cover.
•Over time, wood exposed to the
ground will absorb moisture, which
may cause rot. If you use this chair
on a lawn, occasionally move it to
a dry surface (patio or deck) to
allow the legs to dry out.
•A deck, porch, or patio is the best
location for your furniture.
•To clean, wipe accumulated dirt
with a solution of warmsoapy
water and a soft cloth; rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
Over time your Adirondack furniture will need
refinishing. We recommend the following:
•Lightly sand each piece with a fine grade of
sandpaper before applying paint or finish.
You do not have to sand down to bare
wood.
•On painted furniture apply a primer first.
Finish with an outdoor weather-resistant
acrylic paint. The original paint color can
be matched at your local hardware or paint
store.
•If you have solid oak furniture, sand and
finish with any high-grade wood
preservative.
