Reviews

We love the chars quite

"We love the chars quite a lot. They are comfortable and seem sturdy enough to hold up over time. Very easy to assemble, around 10 min. each. Our only gripe is that the Polywood material is very slippery. On our wooden deck, they walk around when rocking. If you lean back, they tend to slide around. I wish the rockers had a rubber, tire like button for traction. Then they would be perfect."

Alan S. (4/5)

Very well built and lasting,

"Very well built and lasting, but a little pricey, and not as comfortable as I would have liked."

Jerry B. (4/5)

Solid, comfortable chair we hope

"Solid, comfortable chair we hope to use for years."

Rick W. (5/5)

Sturdy but uncomfortable chairs

"I bought 2 Jefferson rockers last year. They are super sturdy and I like that they are environmentally friendly. Customer service was very good. However, I did not like the gray/beige color and immediately had them painted. The faux wood grain is also unattractive. While the seat is OK, I find the back of the rocker uncomfortable; too upright and flat. Back and seat cushions are needed for these chairs."

Elaine S. (3/5)

Faux wood finish

"We already have several of your rockers in white. Thus, we were surprised at the faux wood graining on the mahogany Jefferson model. It is fine for its planned use, but the flat finish on the white rockers is aesthetically more appealing to us. Thank you."

Maureen F. (4/5)

Have 4 at the end

"Have 4 at the end of our driveway. Replacing one that broke where the armrests attach to the posts. love the chairs."

HUGH H. (5/5)

I ordered (2) of these

"I ordered (2) of these rockers to match the others i have on our front porch. They are easy to clean and stay like new far longer than the old wooden "cracker barrel" rockers that we did have."

Gerald S. (5/5)

Pollywood Rocker

"Rocker as described and easy to assemble !"

Jerry T. (5/5)

Sturdy and environmental but has other issues

"I love that your furniture is environmentally sound and is very sturdy. On the downside, the color called "sand" was not what I expected; instead of being a pale beige, like sand, it is grayish with green undertones. I am having it painted. I wish I had gotten white. Another issue is the weird notching on the vertical surfaces; I'm not sure why it's there but it looks cheap. Finally, we had to reorder parts twice because they were missing from the original, which is sloppy on your end."

Elaine S. (3/5)

I picked the Jefferson because

"I picked the Jefferson because it sits slightly higher than other chairs. My husband is tall and I wanted him to be comfortable. I ordered 2 chairs 4 years ago and came back to order 2ore. I love the chairs. I love they are weather resistant. I love the sand color. Perfect for the intense Colorado sun."

Q&A

Can you supply the Jefferson rocking chair in a custom color such as "barn red".
Hello Grady, Great question! Though POLYWOOD furniture is built to order, we do not offer customized products, specialty items, or custom-built pieces. Thanks for asking! Best, Emma
Can I correct an error in an answer provided by Polywood? Maria asked the color name of the seat cushion in a review by David H (me) and an incorrect answer stated it was not a Polywood cushion. It was a Polywood cushion (Standard Seat Cushion XPWS0172-48113, Cushion Color: Cast Royal) purchased in 2021 by me from Polywood. While it might no longer be an option to purchase from Polywood, it was at one time.
Hi David, Thank you for your review! I sincerely apologize for the error . We appreciate you pointing this out and will make sure to make the appropriate change. Thank you, Michelle
How much assembly is required?
Hi Ann, Thank you for your question! Our assembly instructions are available on each product page under the Product Details section, labeled Assembly Instructions. Products that require assembly often take less than 30 minutes to complete. Some components come partially assembled, such as a fully built seat, backrest, or tabletop. Thanks, Lana
Can you recommend a headrest pillow that fits the Jefferson rocking chair?
Hi William, Thank you for your question! Currently, we don't offer a headrest pillow designed specifically for the Jefferson Rocking Chair. If you're looking for added comfort, we do have a lumbar pillow, SKU # XUP0146. Thanks, Lana
What color is the rocking chairs in the reviews with the blue cushion by David H?
Hi Maria, Thank you for your question! David H's cushions are the POLYWOOD standard seat cushions in the color Cast Royal. We no longer have this color available. Thanks, Lana

Can the Jefferson be in a set with side table
Hello Gayle, Thank you for your interest in our Jefferson Rocking Chair. We do offer a 3-Piece set with the Jefferson rocker and side table, I will include a link below. https://www.polywood.com/jefferson-3-piece-rocker-set-pws140-1.html Thanks -Jason
What is the weight rating of this chair?
To Mike. That is a great question. All of our rockers are tested to comfortably hold up to 400 lbs. each. The weight of the chair itself is 38 lbs. if you were looking for the chair weight itself. Best wishes, Jay C.
What are the dimensions of the packaging / box being shipped and what is the weight of the box ?
Hello Igor, Each Jefferson Rocking Chair comes in one (1) box that is 44 pounds, and has the following dimensions: 48" L, 24" W, 8" H. I hope this helps, Mindy
Does this rocker have a straight vertical back? Looking for one with a bit of a lean.
Hello MR, Thanks for asking! If you scroll down to the product details, it will show that this rocker does have a straight back. ![](https://polywoodinc.zendesk.com/attachments/token/8EQgtTR8PLHJ4iB1LnT4lX2ID/?name=image.png) When you find a style you like, scroll down to see the product details and dimensions, which will show if there is any lean. If you are looking for the traditional style, our new Martha Stewart by POLYWOOD Chinoiserie Rocking Chair has a lean, as does the Nautical Porch Rocking Chair. If you like the Adirondack style, the Vineyard Adirondack Rocking Chair and the Long Island Rocking Chair both have a lean. Thanks, Mindy
Do you have a wrap back porch rocker or plan to design one in the future? Which porch rocker has a large seat with a not too straight seat to back angle
Hi Jeanne! Thank you for your question! We have a few options for a contoured back on rocking chairs. I have provided a few links below that meet that criteria! Seashell Rocking Chair: https://www.polywood.com/seashell-rocking-chair-shr22.html Modern Adirondack Rocker: https://www.polywood.com/modern-adirondack-rocker-mnr10.html Quattro Adirondack Rocking Chair: https://www.polywood.com/quattro-adirondack-rocking-chair-qnr10.html I hope this helps! Sharon
Do cushions improve the chair comfort?
Hi Anna! Thank you for reaching out with your question! Even though our Jefferson Rocking Chair is designed to be used comfortably without a cushion, due to the contoured seat, the addition of a seat cushion is definitely a great option if you are planning to use this chair for extended periods of time, and would like that little extra comfort-level. Here is a link below to the correct cushion to pair with this chair. Thank you! Oli
I bought 2 Jefferson rockers in white 4 years ago from you. I love them but cleaning them is a pain. The dirt and pollen get into the little lines in the furniture and I can't get it entirely clean. Please help?
Hello Sharon, Thanks for reaching out to us. I can understand why you may be having trouble with this, especially with the white color. There are a few things you can do. We suggest using one of the following processes to clean your furniture. These include: High pressure power washer (under 1500psi), magic eraser, or ⅓ water and ⅔ bleach mixture using a soft bristle brush will help clean the pores of the material. The later of those options may work best for this situation. I hope this helps! Best regards, Sam
can I paint these chairs or polywood?
Hello, Great question!!! Thank you for reaching out. The Jefferson Rocking Chair can not be painted. Paint will not adhere to any Polywood Furniture, and voids all warranty. Hope this information helps. Best regards, Jessica
Does the Jefferson rocker work OK with a seat cushion, and if so, which one?
Hello Paul, Yes. The Jefferson works great with a seat cushion. See link below for the specific cushion to line up with this model: https://www.polywood.com/seat-cushion-21-5inchd-x-21inchw-x-2-5inchh-xpws0082.html Thank you for reaching out with your question, Bryce

Thank you for the great question! Kevin
What is the weight limit of the Jefferson rocker?
Hello Joseph! We don't test our products to a weight limit. We test to ASTM Standards. This Jefferson Rocking Chair passed a 400 lb static load test. It also passed an impact test that drops 150 lbs ten times from a height of 8". These are both a limit to pass as commercial grade. This is the best standard that we test to at this time. Thank you for the great question! Kevin
