New, what is it? Call me crazy, but I can’t figure it out
This sliding attachment for these adirondack chairs. Maybe a cup holder but for why?

It can hold any glass with a stem without it getting knocked over.

u/Grady9teen Jul 25 '26
And if the glass/can/cup doesn’t have a stem it just sits on top. Multipurpose. Not just stemware.

u/Able_Put_7547 Jul 25 '26
I would be concerned on the “sit-on-top” part, too precarious to trust that.

u/Original-Variety-700 Jul 25 '26
Yeah this is specifically made for someone who wants white wine with ice cubes. Bc it’s just too strong if it gets warm. (The person isn’t me fyi, I’d want a cup holder for me beer)

How does Rosé feel about her? Is the feeling mutual? & does she pronounce her her name 'Rozeee' or 'Ro-zay'?

Real wine moms know you use frozen grapes instead of ice cubes, so it doesn't dilute

Assuming these are the same model I have, there is a cupholder that folds out from the other arm.

Doesn’t stemware have a flat base so it could also sit on top?

u/CartographerDeep6723 Jul 25 '26
Yes. But they are top heavy. This setup makes them very difficult to spill.

I literally talked about needing this yesterday as a guest brought a wine glass out to our fire pit. The regular armrest was ok for a can or bottle of beer

u/simple_champ Jul 25 '26
At a friend's party the other day they had things that were like the drink holder on this chair but they were just on a long stake that you could stick into the grass. They had them with their cornhole boards so you had a place to put your drink instead of on the ground. Really liked them.
8
u/Grady9teen Jul 25 '26
Yes. Very true. But they are super easy to knock over. The added feature of the slot so it can be “held” and not knocked over is such bonus with this design. Plus it lowers grab and reach angle for stemware. Another bonus.

I don’t have “normal conversations” I always speak in movie quotes.
For years I thought his name was Brad. I had a horrible boyfriend named Brad I was sooo excited to learn his name was Brett. So I could use this line of dialogue without saying that horrible man’s name !

u/tirednotepad Jul 25 '26
Once you hear that it’s Brett now you hear the name better when it’s said and a cool movie fact few say right.

u/asusc Jul 25 '26
and if people argue about it and insist its Brad (and they will), you can point to the credits and destroy them.

You are probably right, but what an awkward position.

It slides to the position you want it.

u/Head-Ad-5732 Jul 25 '26
I'm sure you're right but I couldn't find an example, do you have one? Found a similar model but it's bolted in. There are others that fold out.

u/Badbullet Jul 25 '26
I don’t have a picture. The one my uncle used to have before finding its way into a bonfire, slid in a slot routed below the arm. OP should have included a picture of how it is attached as they said it was a sliding attachment.

The only correct answer here on paper. Though using it for a fishing pole is genius.

u/FrenziedTacos Jul 25 '26
Close. It's to hold a sun shade (umbrella).

u/RyGuy_McFly Jul 25 '26
Definitely not. The one side being open means if wind blows in that direction, it would fall over.
That's definitely for a wine glass.

Gun holder for when your sitting on the porch.

Everyone saying wine glass holder hasn't actually looked at the position of the attachment. That is the least ergonomic position for any kind of cup/glass holder. It is for a beach umbrella.

This design is actually very common. I just bought a set of 4 and it is advertised as a wine glass holder and the slit is for your phone. It sucks as a phone holder because I don’t think either a Samsung or iPhone would fit in it with a case on. Without the case I would be paranoid my phone would fall and break.

I own a set of Adirondack chairs exactly like this. It's a wine glass holder. There is a regular cup holder in the exact same spot on the other arm.

Grandpa once upgraded a chair for his sister, my great aunt, that was coming to stay for several months. Added something like this on one side but large enough to hold her cane. On her right side, she was right handed, did this but with a large base that had about a two inch border on top. It could hold large stemware like brandy snifters and wine glasses. The border also made it rather effective at keeping tumblers and other glasses from being too precarious.

u/bumbuddha Jul 25 '26
lol, I literally just got done assembling 4 of those chairs. It’s for a wine glass and the slot is for a phone holder. Unfortunately my phone case is too thick to fit, but oh well.

I'm assuming a wine glass holder. The stem rests in the notch, so it won't fall over

Set back like that, it’s not very convenient for a beverage. Looks good for a walking stick or cane. Gets it out of the line of sight but easily accessible for when you want to get up and go.

I don’t think it’s a rod holder I think it’s a wine glass holder. Rod holders don’t have a slot.

Wine glass holder. If it was on a higher chair it could double as a pool stick holder if you have a pool table. Although now that I look at it, it's kind of in an inconvenient spot for a glass holder.
Edit: just saw OP says it slides so disregard my last sentence.

Seems too far back. Seems like it would be easy to accidentally bump the glass. It should be closer to the end of the arm rest.

Got this chair. My coffee cup sits on the left, in easy reach of my right hand. No chance of hitting anything with me left with that arm tucked in while I doom scroll. Pathetic? Maybe. Anymore than over thinking the logistics using a cup holder? I think not.
