“Very comfortable, can’t imagine the furniture without it. [It] dries quickly even after heavy rain. Love the colors.”

“We are very pleased with our purchase. Everything arrived on time and in good condition. It was easy to assemble. [The] comfortable cushions … dry in about a day after a rain storm. We've enjoyed many afternoons and evenings around the fire pit.”

“The Lakeside 7-Piece Dining Set is beautiful on our deck! It was easy to assemble as the directions were well written. The dining set is not only beautiful but also very functional, as it is comfortable and very sturdy. Well-built pieces indeed!”

“First of all, the quality is amazing. We originally had wooden rocking chairs, but after many years of use and sitting on the front porch, the runners started to fall apart beyond repair. What I love about the new ones is that they won't require any more painting, and I can simply pressure wash them to clean them.”

"We started buying POLYWOOD over 20 years ago as we live in the [South Carolina] mountains, and the weather destroys any wood or metal furniture. We power wash the furniture in the spring, and it still looks great!"
Does POLYWOOD need to be painted or refinished?

“Your Traditional Garden Gliders fit right in on our front porch. My husband said, ‘Great engineering, well-made, and easy to put together. Five stars!’ I enjoy gliding on them and knowing that I will not have to repaint them in five years.”
Does POLYWOOD really last?

“Solid construction and smooth rocking. We ordered a second glider for our back patio after we loved the one we've had on our front porch, still going strong after 10 years.”

“I am over the moon with how well my POLYWOOD furniture has held up and continues to serve us. It was the best investment in furniture I have ever made! I bought this [Club deep seating set] in 2006, and it has been a gathering place for so many occasions.”
Is POLYWOOD made in China?

“We live in the Northeast and the weather is ever-changing so these are nice to leave out and no need to cover. Just wipe off and you can sit if it rains. If you are on the fence, just get them. Made in the USA is also another reason to buy—support American jobs and companies!”

“... I was thrilled when POLYWOOD came out with this stylish Acadia sofa that blows its competition right out of the water! Thank you, POLYWOOD, for supporting our American workforce and offering such an amazing product!”
