Child's Duck Chair

$250.00

The Duck Chair Mini gives kids their very own “real” DUX chair—built just like the full‑size Duck Chair, only scaled for little ones ages roughly 2–6. The low, duck‑inspired silhouette feels playful and special, while a supportive seat and smooth edges make it a comfortable place for reading, snacks, or cheering at the game. Handcrafted from the same marine‑grade Starboard ST and 316 stainless hardware as your adult furniture, it’s tough enough for backyard adventures, patios, tailgates, and living rooms alike.

Use: Child‑sized outdoor/indoor chair for ages approximately 2–6.
Comfort: Scaled seat and backrest tuned for small bodies, with smooth, rounded edges.
Design: Echoes the full‑size Duck Chair so kids get a “real” DUX chair, not a toy imitation.
Materials: Marine‑grade Starboard ST HDPE and 316 stainless fasteners—no rot, splinters, or peeling finish.
Maintenance: Leave it out, hose it off; no painting, staining, or refinishing.
Portability: Light enough for adults to move easily, sturdy enough for everyday kid use.

Specifications:

Dimensions: 17” wide x 20” tall x 16” deep

Details & Craftsmanship

The Duck Chair Mini began as a personal project—a first chair for a first grandchild—and evolved into a kid’s piece that carries the same seriousness of design as your adult line. The proportions are carefully scaled so children can climb in and out on their own, with a seat height and depth that feel secure instead of oversized. The open, duck‑shaped profile gives little ones a clear sense that this is their chair, while the low center of gravity helps it feel planted and stable during wiggling, climbing, and animated story‑telling.

Structurally, the Mini uses the same construction approach as your full‑size chairs: Starboard ST marine‑grade HDPE for all panels and slats, and 316 stainless steel fasteners at critical joints. Starboard’s UV‑stable, non‑porous composition means the chair won’t rot, swell, splinter, or peel—even if it lives on a deck, in the yard, or gets dragged through the grass and dirt. Color runs through the material instead of sitting on top, so everyday bumps and scuffs stay subtle, and there’s no finish to maintain. Edges are eased and surfaces smoothed, making the chair friendly to small hands and bare legs.

Because it is genuinely weatherproof and built with real joinery, the Duck Chair Mini can live in spaces where typical kids’ furniture quickly fails—campfires, tailgates, sideline mornings, beach houses, and mountain cabins. It’s light enough to move easily from porch to fire pit to field, yet solid enough to feel like a “real” piece of furniture, not a disposable toy. Over time, it’s meant to collect memories: first marshmallows, first game days, first camp stories. Built to outlast childhood, it’s the kind of chair a child can remember, outgrow, and eventually pass down—an heirloom that travels with family traditions rather than getting left behind.

Care and Maintenance:

Routine cleaning: Rinse with a hose, then wipe with mild soap and water. For tougher grime, use a non‑abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or soft nylon brush. Avoid excessive scrubbing pressure to preserve the matte finish.
Stain removal: For persistent stains, let a diluted bleach solution sit briefly, then rinse thoroughly. Citrus cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, or mineral spirits can help with grease and sunscreen; test in a small area first.
Scratch care: Light surface scuffs can often be minimized with automotive silicone spray or furniture polish; do not use on walking surfaces. Deep gouges are cosmetic and do not affect performance.
No refinishing required: Starboard ST is UV‑stabilized, color‑through material that won’t peel or flake, and it cannot be painted. Keep wood oils (e.g., teak oil) and wood stains away from the surface.
Hardware check: Rinse salt and pollen periodically. Inspect 316 stainless fasteners seasonally; tighten if needed.
Pressure washing: Safe when used at moderate pressure and distance; avoid aggressive tips held close to the surface.
Seasonal care: No storage or sealing required. If storing, keep pieces clean and dry, and avoid heat above 180°F.
General setup: Place on level surfaces to reduce uneven wear on rocker rails or feet. Lift to move—don’t drag across abrasive concrete.
