Furniture Made From Your Old Skis: The Sentimental Ski Chair
If your old skis are gathering dust in the garage, Colorado Ski Chairs can turn them into furniture made from old skis that you will actually use every day. The Sentimental Ski Chair is a handcrafted Adirondack ski chair built from your retired skis, so the runs you remember become a comfortable seat for the next chapter. It is one of our best sellers, and it is easy to see why.
What the Sentimental Ski Chair is
This is a full size Adirondack chair with your own skis worked into the seat and back. Colorado Ski Chairs builds each one by hand in Colorado, mounting retired skis on a sturdy Douglas Fir base. Every chair measures 45 inches tall, 36 inches deep, and 32 inches wide, which keeps it comfortable for people from 3 feet all the way up to 6 feet 10 inches. Pets tend to claim them too. If your skis are already gone, we can match up something close to what you used to ride, so the sentimental part is never off the table.
Furniture made from old skis, built to last outdoors
A ski chair only means something if it lasts. Each Sentimental Ski Chair is finished with high quality exterior oil paint that stays colorful and weatherproof through Colorado seasons. The build is rated to a 400 pound weight capacity, so you can settle in with someone you like without a second thought. It ships with a 3 year hassle free warranty, and it comes with a custom ski binding cup holder that is big enough for a stein. Put it on the deck, the patio, by the fire pit, or on the front porch and let it earn its spot.
Make it yours
Half the fun is the customization. You pick the color, the ski brand, or the style that matches your story. Want it to rock? Any chair or bench can be built as a rocker for $75 more using repurposed oak wine barrel slats. You can also add a hand painted custom front board for around $75 to $100, which is a nice way to feature a resort, a date, or a name. If you have a bigger idea, we love custom work, so send a design and we will build it.
