What material is POLYWOOD?

How long will POLYWOOD furniture last?

"... Went with POLYWOOD as we've had their outdoor furniture at our residence for the past 20 years, and it's so incredibly durable and great looking. Every year, we give them a quick wash with our power sprayer, and they're ready for the spring/summer season—they look as great as they did when we bought them 20 years ago. …"
