The Bear Chair is a popular wooden garden chair among gardeners and outdoorsmen who value comfort, quality and durable design. These luxury garden chairs are adjustable and made of the highest quality. Behind the simple yet elegant design is a careful process. Craftsmanship and high-quality materials are central to this process. In this blog we will tell you how the Bear Chair wooden garden chair is made.
From raw material to luxurious, wooden garden chair
The process of making the Bear Chair begins with choosing the right wood. The original Bear Chair is made from western red cedar. This is a type of wood known for its light weight, durability and natural resistance to mold and insects. This makes this type of wood ideal for use in the garden.
Although people often look for wooden garden furniture made of teak, a Bear Chair made of teak does not exist. Indeed, western red cedar is much lighter and easier to work with, making it a better type of wood for the production of the Bear Chair.
Ergonomics are also considered during the manufacturing process. The slight slope of the backrest, deep seat and wide armrests are carefully designed for ultimate comfort. The result is a wooden garden chair that is both sturdy and inviting.
The unique kit concept of the Bear Chair wooden garden chair
What makes the Bear Chair special is that this luxurious, wooden and adjustable garden chair comes as a kit. This concept was introduced to make the chair more accessible to a wider audience, as it made the chair cheaper and easier to ship. The boards are precision machined and provided with pre-drilled holes, so customers can easily assemble the chair themselves. Because the chair can be shipped in a much smaller package, the carbon footprint of shipping is a lot smaller than if the chair had to be shipped in its entirety.

The finish of the Bear Chair
The finish of a Bear Chair plays a crucial role in the life of the chair. Whereas a teak garden chair still needs regular treatment, this is not necessary with a western red cedar Bear Chair. The wood is left untreated because western red cedar naturally has properties that protect the wood against insects and severe weather conditions. The chairs therefore last a very long time.
Manufacturing is focused on sustainability. Waste wood is kept to a minimum and used for smaller parts or recycled. The process reflects the ethos of Bear Chair: making a product that is not only functional, but also has the lightest possible impact on the environment.
