Why We Call It Red Chair Time ❤️ - Click to Read
When she lost her battle with cancer in 2023, I started Red Chair Time to honor her and help others still fighting. Those chairs symbolized comfort, connection, and peace—and now, every piece we sell carries that spirit forward.
This isn’t just about selling and living the lake life. It's about a life with purpose. A portion of every purchase supports cancer research, because our mission is personal. We’re here to create beautiful spaces—and to fund hope.
Thank you for visiting!

A better way to produce aluminum
Starting in 2024, we began removing high-emission aluminum from our manufacturing and replacing it with low-emission aluminum made with renewable energy. By October 2025, nearly every alloy bike we make - this one included - had made the switch, driving a major drop in our footprint.
Shimano Deore
Shimano Deore brings even more adventure with a wider range of gear choices for the steep stuff, the fast stuff, and the fun. With smooth riding, improved chain stability, and sharp shifting, Deore heightens your mountain biking confidence and control so you can focus on the trail and enjoy the ride.
