Outdoor Bar Stools & Counter Seating

Enjoy easy hosting with POLYWOOD bar and counter chairs. Explore our collection of durable, all-weather designs that deliver years of lasting style and durability to any outdoor space. Give guests room to relax while you mix up mocktails at your backyard bar, or kick back at pool parties with clear views of your kids while they swim.

ClimateTuff™ Materials

Bar and counter chairs made with our proprietary materials and weather-resistant construction can handle intense climates and weather. They offer lasting durability and can endure sun, heavy rain, and extreme temperatures season after season.

Low Maintenance

Our bar and counter seating looks great with little upkeep required. No need to cover or store it when bad weather hits—just clean with soap and water and enjoy easy upkeep.

20-Year Warranty

Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber is built with Solidcore™ durability and backed by a 20-year residential warranty. Bar stools and counter chairs crafted with this strong, resilient material resist splintering, cracking, chipping, peeling, and rotting.

ColorStay™ Technology

Our bar and counter furniture stays vibrant and beautiful, even after years of sun exposure. When making our lumber, we blend in high-quality pigments and UV inhibitors for high resistance to fading and discoloration.

Made in the USA Since 1990

POLYWOOD began in an Indiana garage in 1990. While our company size has changed, our commitment to quality craftsmanship remains the same. Today, we produce our furniture at state-of-the-art facilities in Indiana and North Carolina.

Backless Stools

Backless bar and counter stools offer guests freedom of movement when sitting and standing, and conveniently slide under tables to save space.

Arm Chairs

Count on plenty of support with bar and counter arm chairs. You have a place to relax your back and rest your arms, and the armrests give you something to hold onto, assisting with sitting and standing.

Swivel Chairs

Comfort comes full circle with this seating style. The seat can rotate a full 360 degrees, while the legs stay still.

Backed Stools

Stools with backs and armless chairs deliver a mix of comfort and convenience. A backrest offers upper body support while you sit, and the lack of armrests makes it easy to get into and out of the seat.

Bistro Tables

Ideal for cozy spaces, these tall tables have small footprints. They comfortably seat two for romantic dinners, or add convenience to cocktail parties, giving guests a place to rest drinks and small plates.

Balcony Tables

Long and narrow, these two-person tables occupy minimal floor space. They sit flush against railings and stand tall enough for unobstructed views—perfect for drinks on the upper deck.

Side Tables

These outdoor accent tables stand tall next to bar and counter chairs, keeping cold drinks and tasty snacks within reach. Some even include a second shelf for extra storage.

Four-Seat Tables

Get ready for game night or serve casual breakfasts at these bar and counter tables. Seat up to four around our square and round styles that let everyone sit equally close and be part of the conversation.

Six-Seat Tables

Best suited for medium-sized spaces or larger, tables for six are perfect for meals with extended family. We offer rectangular and round bar tables that can easily accommodate your head count and outdoor layout.

Eight-Seat Tables

Ideal for dinner parties and holidays, eight-seat outdoor bar and counter tables give everyone plenty of elbow room. Keep in mind that these designs are larger, so you’ll need a big backyard to hold them.
