Design Details
Explore the features that set the EDGE Collection apart.
Lumber Colors

Find the Finishing Touch
Outdoor accessories offer that extra wink of color and enhanced comfort you’re looking for.
Cue the Contrast
Sleek lines and neutral hues shine brighter when paired with bold accents. Open a citrusy yellow umbrella over a black dining set, or prop cobalt blue pillows on a charcoal sectional to keep the look chic and energetic.
Try Texture
Balance EDGE’s minimalist profiles by layering in materials that feel modern yet inviting. Matte-finish planters, a low-pile outdoor rug, or vegan leather pillows can bring the right amount of texture to add warmth without disrupting the space’s clean aesthetic.
Peruse Patterns
Graphic prints with linear designs pair nicely with EDGE’s modern vibe. Try cushions and pillows with monochrome stripes, abstract geometrics, or tonal color blocking to ensure a cohesive look that stands out.

“Love this table. It comes assembled and is the perfect addition to my patio set.”
Keep it simple: Sometimes the best option is the easiest one. If you’re working with limited square footage, opt for a seating set and one or two pieces of thoughtfully chosen decor. This minimizes clutter and makes the space appear larger.

“Nice looking and appears to be well made. I also love the low maintenance and 20-year warranty.”
Medium Spaces
Rectangle dining sets: Suitable for mid-sized spaces or larger, rectangular table and chair sets provide ample space to come together without overcrowding. Whether standard, counter, or bar height, the streamlined table shape fits neatly along deck railings, patio walls, or cozy porch corners.
PRO TIP:
Sneak in extra seating with long benches.

“We are loving all of our POLYWOOD EDGE dining chairs and table, as well as the [EDGE] Club chairs around our outdoor fire table. The Newport console matches well, fits in our space nicely, and is very useful. …”
Deep seating style: Ideal for medium and large outdoor settings, deep seating sets offer ample room to relax without overwhelming the space. Their low profiles and linear designs make them easy to position against walls, along deck railings, or in porch corners.

“Whatever had to be assembled was very easy, [and it] came very well packaged. I love the product.”
Large Spaces
Think outside the rectangle: When you have room to spare, opt for symmetry. Square dining sets anchor large patios and decks with a sense of style and balance, offering equal footing (and elbow room) for everyone at the table.

“Enjoying our backyard beauty with our POLYWOOD Acadia and EDGE!”
Stretch out in style: Outdoor sectionals are great choices for expansive patios, spacious decks, and spacious settings that require plenty of seating. With generous proportions and ample space to sink into, modular deep seating styles offer comfort on a larger scale.

Styling by Space Type
Look over these customer-styled aesthetics that cover a range of settings.
Swimming Pool
Waterside focal point: EDGE’s straight, clean-lined silhouettes contrast nicely with this customer’s curved in-ground pool. And the low-maintenance frames simplify post-meal cleanup, leaving them more time for splish-splashing or stretching out on their complementing Vineyard chaise lounge set.

“We absolutely love the EDGE dining set on our patio—we’ve enjoyed so many meals around it so far and can’t wait for memories to be made here. High-quality set, easy to assemble, and delivery was well managed with great communication.”
At the corner of comfy and cozy: Narrow poolside patios are not a problem for EDGE’s modular selections. This customer took advantage of the seating’s scalability and snuggled a sectional into the corner of their space—a perfect fit with plenty of room to walk (no running, please!) by the pool.
