SCHWARTZWALD SEATING PRODUCTS

"PUT YOUR SEAT IN OUR SEAT"

This is the back porch of my son's 2nd floor apartment in Chicago. My daughter-in-law, Jackie, has done a wonderful job of fixing it up.

It is a Schwartzwald Seating Products showcase.

To the left ( next to the unseen grill) is the garden chair. In the center are two Adirondack chairs with the small table in between. Just out of sight, to the right , is a three foot bench by the exterior wall. She then added the contrasting pillows and an outdoor rug. It is like an extra room to their house.

I've always liked the natural look of the cedar. But she's changed my mind. The paint looks great--smooth, colorful, inviting. She said she used spray paint from Lowes. She said to be sure to get the matte finish as it dries better.

All products are made to order so completion could be several weeks. " We are not a fast food establishment."

Adirondack Chair

Classic Style. Cedar

This design includes both a curved back and a curved seat. The curved seat is often called a waterfall design. The curves make it very comfortable. You will find cheaper Adirondacks but almost never with both seat and back curved. The wide armrests are great for holdings drinks, books and,even food. It is made of cedar which is watersealed. It will last many years but will weather into a gray color. Its life will be extended by resealing it every few years and by bringing it indoors for the winter. Also available in painted pine with choice of colors, depending what my wife feels like picking up at the hardware store.

CEDAR, water sealed: $150.00

PINE, painted: $140.00

Camp Chair

#1) Remove seat.

#2) Install seat.

#3) Sit Down

My daughter Katie's favorite. This unusal chair lies almost flat in your trunk. Then you slide the seat out fron the back. Install it in the front and, voila, you have a most stunning piece of furniture. Everyone says its so comfortable. Perfect for sitting around the campfire or out on a patio.

$80

Formal Garden Bench

Very comfortable Garden Bench . This one has a back and armrests. Quite nice for reading, resting or snuggling.

I need to take a better picture as this was close to dusk and is too gloomy. However it does give you an idea of how Cedar weathers as it was about three years old when I took the picture.

$ 150

Recipe Box

Encouraged by Abbey, my future Daughter-in-Law, I made this box to hold 3" by 5" index cards. When you put the roof back on it holds the card in a comfortable reading position.

My wife does the paint job or you can have the fun of painting it yourself. However if you order it unfinished the doors, windows and bushes will not be glued on in order to make the painting easier. The basic house will be assembled but you must paint and then glue.

Unfinished.....$20 Painted.........$25

Adirondack Love Seat

Double your pleasure. Cedar

Double the fun !! Same classic style but seats two.

$250.00

Child's Adirondack

Cedar or pine. This one's pink.

Just like the big ones curved back and seat. Depending on child's size this one will fit from about 3-12 year olds.

$65.00

Garden Chair

My wife calls this the Garden Chair. I call it the Square Chair. While the Adirondack is more comfortable for loumging, resting or reading a book, this chair is a little better for short time or formal use. Things like a sudden guest, a serious talk with someone or a quick drink while cutting the grass. One lady bought 4 for putting around her patio Dining table.

$100

Garden Bench

A simple garden bench but one of my favorite projects. The seat is curved so it feels much more comfortable than a flat bench.

$100

Picnic Table For Four

About half the size of a regular picnic table it is great for smaller areas or small backyards. The kids love it as they feel like they're getting one "their size."

Unlike many others this is very wide based and WILL NOT TIP OVER. The legs are firmly attached which may be a plus or a minus depending upon your usage.

You do have to step over the board to enter.

I made this one out of treated wood as I had not thought of the food aspect. I suggest cedar or painted pine for all future ones.

I haven't worked out the price on this as I need to check the price of the cedar boards. I think it will be about $150

I know that's more than some of those full size ones at big box stores but cedar costs a lot more, this is more solidly constructed and this is (as my wife says) cuter.

Stool

When I was building this I thought I had cut the legs too short. It turns out that it was the perfect height--24". It is just right for a person to sit on but already does multiple duties like being a small table for a tray of food. Or for sitting on while searching the lower bookshelves. It is very solid being screwed as well as glued together. They is a small change since I took the pictures. Esthetically I made the seat thicker. It is now 1 1/4" thick instead of 3/4" shown in the picture.

Unfinished Pine................$25

Adirondack Table

Nice Little Table.

This little table is made to match the Adirondack chairs. It is the same height as the chair's armrest and has slats like the chairs.

It has a lower shelf to put books and magazines on while your drinks or knitting is on the top.

$25.00

Tea Tray

My most popular item after the Adirongack chair. You'll find it no where else as it is our own design. It is 21" long and 12 1/2" wide. The scalloped edge really sets it off. Pine in any color you like or unpainted Oak.

$25.00

Chimney Cupboard

This is called a Chimney Cupboard which describes its tall, narrow shape. It is ideal for a storage facility for a small space. It is about seven feet tall. ( about a foot taller than the refrigerator to its left), two feet wide and about 15 " deep.

It comes in two sections, either one of which could stand alone.

For the full two section height it is absolutely imperative that the two sections be screwed togather AND, due to its tall but narrow height, MUST be attached, with a brace, to the wall. It would be very dangerous to little children if not attached to the wall. With a small board and a few screws ours is very, very solid.

Ours has two shelves below and three shelves above but can be adjusted to customer's wishes.

Hmm, about $190

Single Bed

My wife and I designed these beds.

So far we have an Apple bed, a Pear bed and one with baseballs. They have wood sideboards ( not metal). They take a standard single spring and mattress ( which are NOT included.) , They dissassemble for easier transportation. The footboard deliberately sits below the top of the mattress which allows one to sit on the end and which also allows it to be used by my 6' * 8" son.

I think this is one of my wife's favorite thing in the whole house.

Haven't really worked out a price for these yet. Lets say, subject to change:$150
