We love it! It's just

"We love it! It's just the right size and the design is beautiful. We put a black Polywood table on either side and a gray cushion on it. I bought a black poof for someone to put their feet on. Absolutely perfect, and I don't worry about it rusting or fading or splintering."

Claudia L. (5/5)

good and bad

"we own other polywood products, this bench looks great, however the craftsmanship on this bench is not good. The preset holes for the side arm pieces were drilled the same for the left and the right side. We had to re-drill our own hols on one side to make this work. Also the preset screws ro hold the right side armrest down were drilled improperly and we had to put a bracket to hold the top of the armrest in place"

It looks great. We purchased

"It looks great. We purchased it with memorial money for our assisted living out door space. Can't wait for the tenants to start using it in warmer weather!"

Tasha H. (4/5)

Classic but sturdy!

"Has the classic look of old Chippendale, but durable and tough. The one complaint I have about pollywood, is that it’s hard to clean. The rough nooks and crannies collect dirt, and I’ve yet to find a cleaning method that works effectively. Otherwise the product is great."

Claire C. (5/5)

For reference, the weight limits for each bench are listed under the Product Details section on each product’s page on our website, which can help guide you in deciding how many people each size may accommodate. Thank you, Amber

Can this bench be used with the dining table?
Hello Briana, Great idea! Yes this bench can be paired with one of our dinning tables the arms are low enough they will fit under the table. The only thing you have to decide now is which table. I suggest to pair the 60" Vineyard bench with our 59" farm house table. Best wishes, Heather

Hi there, That's a great question; thanks for asking! Our POLYWOOD lumber contains UV-inhibiting pigment systems that limit fading. This material is built to withstand all four seasons and a range of climates including hot sun, snowy winters, salt spray, and heavy winds. All the best, Candace
Any idea when you will have cushions available to fit this bench?

We are hoping to restock really soon! I would be happy to follow up with you via email when these become available. Thanks for reaching out! Julia
