If you live in the Midwest, you’re all too familiar with the region’s unpredictable weather. One week, it’s hot and humid with rolling thunderstorms, and the next, you’re shoveling snow off the back patio.

Every season brings new challenges—especially winter—and families need durable furniture that can handle it all—something that won’t crack under heavy snow, blow away on blustery days, or need to be hauled into storage every few months. That’s where POLYWOOD® stands out, delivering furniture built for comfort in any climate. Midwestern winters have finally met their match.

Patio Furniture for Practical Lifestyles

Low-Maintenance Living

Between work, school, and weekend tailgates, Midwesterners appreciate furniture that makes life easy. Cleaning Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber is simple—a quick scrub with soapy water is all it takes to remove dirt, pollen, and stains. Plus, painting, staining, sanding, or waterproofing aren’t needed—ever.

Stability and Strength

Your outdoor furniture should be as dependable as your favorite pair of Red Wings. POLYWOOD pieces feature Solidcore™ durability for the heft and resilience needed to stand firm through high winds, blizzards, and below-freezing temperatures. With ClimateTuff™ hardware that resists rust and corrosion, every chair, table, and swing gives reliable performance year after year.

Worry-Free Durability

Midwesterners know the value of something built to last, and POLYWOOD furniture delivers. Our lumber is backed by a 20-year residential warranty, ensuring outdoor investments that offer decades of comfort, not concerns.

The Midwest’s Favorite POLYWOOD Furniture

Lakeside Collection

Offering clean and inviting designs, the Lakeside Collection is ideal for backyard barbecues, summer cookouts, or cozy winter evenings around the fire. The Lakeside 7-Piece Farmhouse Dining Set and Lakeside 4-Piece Deep Seating Set bring everyone together, regardless of the forecast.

Nautical Collection

The ocean may be miles away, but seaside style still calls to America’s Breadbasket. Homeowners love the Nautical Collection’s marine-inspired Adirondack designs and chaise lounges, the latter featuring convenient cutout headrest handles for easy movement and comfort through all four seasons.

Adirondack Chairs

No Michigan lake house or Chicago high-rise apartment is complete without a POLYWOOD Adirondack chair. Whether you prefer our roomy curveback styles or cozier laid-back designs, each provides the perfect mix of style, comfort, and all-weather durability. Pair yours with a 68" Console Table with Storage or the EDGE 6-Piece Modular Deep Seating Set for a space that’s both functional and inviting.

The Long-Term Value: A Smarter Investment

When it comes to outdoor furniture, cheaper options aren’t always better. While some materials need sanding, painting, or replacement every few years, Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber is made from recyclable plastics in a 99% waste-free process, creating sustainable and durable products that last for generations.
