While you're waiting for the spring rains to lighten up and the temperature to stabilize, it's a good time to deck out the deck. Land's End, purveyor of many durable outdoorsy goods, offers the beach-chic Shark Adirondack Chair ($139), which is made of hardwood and sealed with polyurethane. The back of the chair resembles a shark's silhouette — complete with teeth and dorsal fin — and offers a comfortable, reclined position. It also supports up to 100 pounds, so it's doubtful the kids will outgrown it until a few springs have come and gone.
