Heat addition to my garden

"Took me 20 minutes to put together- by myself! A second person would have made it in 10 minutes! Sturdy, easy to clean- love the color!"

Poor Quality Upon Arrival

"I was so excited about this bench. After waiting a long 3. 5 weeks to get it, I was highly disappointed to find it was very dirty like it's been sitting in a warehouse for years (I thought these were made to order hence the long lead time). Upon inspection, we discovered that all 4 pieces had missing pre-drill holes on one side of each piece & one of the screws was stripped. The screws that weren't stripped were not driven into the bench all the way leaving gaps. Luckily my husband was able to fix everything. I filed a warranty claim & they offered me a whopping credit of $23. 45 for all our troubles. Wow, really? I wasn't expecting a lot but thought I'd at least get 10% considering we obviously got someone's return & saved them money by not sending me a replacement bench. I've been a huge fan of polywood the last few years, spending $2000 & planned to buy more. NOT ANYMORE! Do better with your quality checks & customers Polywood"

Q&A

I need the dimensions of the top horizontal piece to order a plaque to be attached to it. Thank you.
Hi Donna, Thank you for your question! The headrail is 4 inches at its highest point. Attaching plaques to our furniture won't void the warranty for the entire furniture item. However, please note the specific component the plaque is connected to will be exempt from the warranty due to using screws or adhesives to modify the part. Thank you, Lana
How much does bench weigh when fully assembled?
Hi Deb, Great question! The fully assembled bench weighs 52.75 lbs. when fully assembled. Thanks for asking! Lana
Is there a custom color option available at a extra cost?
Thank you for your inquiry, Silvia! While our products are built-to-order, we do not offer specialty items or customization options. Thanks, Lana
Does it have to be assembled? If so, can I get it assembled for an additional cost?
Hi Joan, Thank you for your question! The Country Living Garden bench does require assembly. POLYWOOD does not have assembly services, but you can do a search in your area for a local and reputable service that can assemble your furniture for you. Thanks! Lana
Weight Limit on chairs/Lakeside 7 pc. I want to place an order but no one will get back to me with chair weight limits.
Hello Carla, The Lakeside Dining Side chairs and Arm chairs have been weight tested up to 350 pounds. If you are looking at sets with other chairs, you can click the link to the chair under This Set Includes. The weight limit should then be listed under the Features section on that chair. Thanks for asking, Mindy
Can a bench be made with two colors? Like a slate gray with white back vertical supports
Hello Bob, That is a great question. At this time, we do not offer multi-colored options, or custom made furniture. I will pass on your interest, in case they ever decide to make changes to our offerings in the future. Thanks for asking, Mindy
The Mahogany looks dark brown. Is it?
Hi Supertal, Our Mahogany is a rich, dark brown and our teak is a warm, lighter brown. If you prefer to see the color in your space, we recommend ordering a POLYWOOD Classic Finish Lumber sample from polywood.com. Thanks for asking, Brooke
How much weight in total will this bench support - two people seated?
Hi Dave! Great question! The Country Living 48" Garden Bench is made to hold up to 300 lbs. per seat. That means a total spread out weight of up to 600 lbs as this is a two seat bench. This bench is made with durable, all-weather lumber that is not prone to splinter, crack, chip, peel, or rot and is built to withstand the elements. This lumber is combined with marine-grade hardware that will ensure you have sturdy furniture that will last for years to come. Thank you for asking! Sharon
