To the list of things that are quintessentially Canadian—Robertson screws, hockey, maple syrup—I’d add the Muskoka chair. For me, it conjures up memories of summer days and cottage decks. The Muskoka chair is a sister of the American Adirondack chair. In my opinion, the Canuck version is a better, more sophisticated design, as the Adirondack has a straight back (often just a solid plank) and a flat seat; whereas, the Muskoka chair has curved back slats and an arched seat.
