Rose Hill reaches another ‘World’s Largest’ milestone

Apparently not satisfied with his town having just the World’s Largest Frying Pan, Jack Frederick decided the town needed another Guinness World Record, so he built what he believes to be the World’s Largest Adirondack Chair. 

“It’s the largest we can tell from what we can find on the internet,” Frederick said, adding that he thought the 22-foot high and 14-foot wide chair would be a “good attention-getter” for his store, Frederick’s Furniture. 

Plus, it’s just plain fun. 

The chair was built by Arturo Gomez and Aureliano Moran Alvarado, who were still working on the finishing touches on Thursday, March 14. After the soft-treated lumber fully dries in about three months, Frederick said he plans to paint the chair a bright color so it’ll stand out even more. 

Frederick said he’s not even sure why he had the idea to build an Adirondack chair, of all things. “I just thought it’d be fun,” he said.
