The loveseat’s dark blue frame, engraved stars, and light gray and red “flag stripe” slats echo a time‑softened American flag.

Details & Craftsmanship

Named for the wood duck, a familiar sight along Lowcountry marshes and creeks, the Wood Duck Chair is designed to feel as at home by the water as on a front porch or garden terrace. Its silhouette balances clean, modern lines with a subtle nod to the bird’s upright grace, resulting in a chair that looks refined from every angle without feeling delicate or fragile. The raised seat height makes sitting and standing easier for a wide range of guests, from casual loungers to older friends and family.

Ergonomically, the chair focuses on relaxed, effortless support with a more open, low‑back profile. The gently angled backrest supports your mid‑back while encouraging a natural, upright posture, and the seat’s sculpted shaping lets your hips settle comfortably without feeling confined. Flexible seat slats introduce a controlled amount of give, softening the feel compared to rigid one‑piece shells, and a rounded front seat edge helps prevent pressure on the backs of your legs—especially welcome when you’re in shorts or lighter summer clothing.

Each Wood Duck Chair is handcrafted by the founder using traditional mortise‑and‑tenon‑style joinery, tightened and reinforced with countersunk stainless steel screws. This second‑generation cabinetmaking approach gives the chair both structural integrity and a finished, furniture‑grade appearance. The frame and slats are cut from marine‑grade Starboard ST HDPE, a UV‑stable, non‑porous polymer that’s been trusted by boatbuilders for decades. It will not rot, warp, splinter, or peel, and its color runs through the material instead of sitting as a paint layer. Paired with marine‑grade stainless fasteners, the chair shrugs off sun, salt, rain, and temperature swings; routine care is as simple as a quick rinse or mild soap wash.

Thoughtful details are built in from the start. Under each armrest, a dedicated cup holder and wine glass holder keep drinks close at hand without cluttering the chair’s profile. Sturdy DUX feet stabilize the chair on grass, stone, or decking, and the wheeled version adds a discreet handle and smooth‑rolling wheels so you can easily reposition for shade, firelight, or a better view. Capping it all, the iconic DUX duck‑head finial at the top of the backrest marks the chair as part of the broader DUX family—authentic, founder‑built outdoor furniture rooted in craftsmanship rather than mass production.

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.
