The Mallard High Back Glider brings DUX’s iconic duck‑head finial style into a smooth, horizontal glider available in both Regular and Petite sizes. Instead of rocking on curved runners, it glides calmly on a fixed base that works beautifully on patios, pavers, and concrete where traditional rockers can feel unstable. A tall, sculpted back, flexible slats, and integrated drink holders make it an easy, everyday favorite for porches and outdoor rooms—simply choose Large for most adults or Small for smaller/shorter sitters who want a naturally “just right” fit.

Motion: Smooth, horizontal gliding action on a fixed base—ideal for patios, pavers, and other firm or slightly uneven surfaces.
Comfort: High backrest with sculpted lumbar support, flexible seat and back slats, and a rounded front seat edge for long, relaxed sits.
Convenience: Built‑in cup holder and wine glass holder discreetly under each armrest—always included.
Construction: Mortise‑and‑tenon joinery with countersunk marine‑grade stainless steel screws for long‑term stability.
Materials: All Starboard ST marine‑grade HDPE and stainless hardware for true all‑weather, no‑rot durability.
Signature detail: Finished with the iconic DUX duck-head finial to mark it as genuine DUX craftsmanship.

Details & Craftsmanship

The Mallard High Back Glider is designed for people who want the soothing rhythm of motion without being limited to a perfectly smooth porch. Instead of curved runners, it uses a glider base that delivers a gentle, front‑to‑back movement while the chair’s feet stay planted, making it especially well suited to patios, pavers, and other real‑world outdoor surfaces. Offered in both Large and Small sizes, each version is proportioned so seat height, depth, and back support feel appropriately scaled rather than “one size fits all.”

Ergonomically, the chair is tuned for long‑session comfort. The tall backrest supports the upper back and shoulders, while a sculpted lumbar curve follows the natural line of your spine to help reduce fatigue during extended conversations or quiet evenings outside. Flexible seat and back slats provide a subtle give, allowing the chair to conform to you instead of feeling rigid. A softened front seat edge takes pressure off the backs of your legs, especially when you sit with feet flat or slightly extended.

Each glider is built using mortise‑and‑tenon‑style joinery and countersunk stainless steel screws, reflecting second‑generation woodworking sensibilities translated into modern outdoor materials. The entire frame and slats are cut from Starboard ST marine‑grade HDPE, a UV‑stable, non‑porous material trusted in marine applications for its resistance to moisture, sun, and salt. It will not rot, warp, splinter, or peel, and it cleans easily with a quick rinse or mild soap and water—no painting, sealing, or refinishing required.

Under each armrest, a cup holder and wine glass holder are built in as standard, keeping drinks secure without cluttering the silhouette. A signature DUX duck‑head finial crowns the back, signaling that this is genuine DUX outdoor furniture. Handcrafted in the USA by the founder, the Mallard High Back Glider (in both Regular and Petite sizes) is meant to be a lasting investment in daily comfort and a standing invitation to linger outside a little longer.

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.
