Built tough with stainless-steel screws and solid timber, it’s made to handle New Zealand weather and everyday use.

- Treated pine for long-lasting strength
Then choose your finish: CUTEK® Extreme CD50 in any of ten colour tones, from light and natural through to deeper timber shades.
Size: 80cm wide × 1.15m deep × 90cm high
I build these to last, and I stand by every piece. If you're after something solid, local, and made with care, this one's for you.
Frequently asked questions
No. Chairs arrive fully assembled.
Yes. They’re built for permanent outdoor use.
Yes. Their weight and wide stance keep them stable in typical NZ conditions.
They last longest outdoors, take paint perfectly, and offer the best value for long‑term durability.
Hand‑built chairs use heavy solid timber, skilled joinery, and stainless hardware, making them far stronger and longer‑lasting than light, screw‑together flat‑packs.
Keep them under cover, out of direct rain and sun, or store them in a shed over winter.
Cape Cod chairs are comfortable because the curved back, contoured seat, wide armrests, and heavy weight create a stable, relaxed sitting position with no cushions needed.
Treated pine lasts longer because the treatment protects it from rot, insects, and moisture.
Macrocarpa suits oil stain because the colour and grain look outstanding when oiled, and the timber absorbs oil evenly. Painted finishes hide its natural character, while treated pine can take on patchy, green‑tinted results when stained.
Stainless screws prevent rust and also make it easy to replace a single part if it’s ever damaged, instead of replacing the whole chair.
