Black bench

"Bought my bench from Costco got it home and there was no screws or instructions how to assemble it. I called the 800 number left a messages and nobody’s called me back. I sent a email from their recording from the 800 number and it came back unable to deliver. It’s a nice bench, but disappointed in the service. We are returning it."

Furniture is good. White Glove assembly is not

"We have been using the furniture for several weeks - quality and comfort are good so far. Stay away from the "white glove delivery". It was assembled wrong causing damage and I ended up having to dismantle and reassemble. Polywood did nothing to compensate."

Q&A

Is there a cushion that works best with this bench? I see one that is 17.7"D x 43"W. I worry it will hang over it a bit. Is there a better option?
Hi Kris! Thanks for your question! For the Park 48" Backless Bench, we recommend a cushion measuring 15" deep by 48.5" wide. Thank you, Amber
What are the dimensions of the box of this bench?
Hello Kristina, Each Lakeside 48" Bench ships in one box, 48" L x 26" W x 10" H, weighing 68 pounds. Thanks, Mindy
Are the backslats all the same size? One of your image previews (from the rear) shows different slat widths.
Hi Frank, great question! The back slats are the same size and the photo from the back shows the metal tube that runs across the top slat. Thanks for asking! Lana
Could you pair the Vineyard Ottoman with this bench?
Hi Katie, The Vineyard ottomans are not taller than the Lakeside Bench seat height so you can pain any style of the Vineyard ottomans with the bench. Thanks for asking! Lana
Assembly question- Is the back one piece or do the slats each need to be attached individually?
That's a great question, Cindy! This bench ships in for parts; a back assembly, a seat assembly and 2 side frames. You can view assembly instructions on the product page under the Product Details section, labeled Assembly Information. Thanks! Lana
Is the bench good for up to 600 lbs?
Hi JV, Great question! All POLYWOOD furniture is tested using ATSM standards. The Lakeside 48" Bench has been tested to hold up to 300 pounds per seat. This bench contains a total of 2 seats, which will withstand a total weight of 600 pounds. Thanks for asking, Michelle
Is this going to be available in a longer length like a 72” option?
Hello Yolanda, Thanks for asking. At this time, we do not have a Lakeside bench that is longer. I will pass on your interest to the design teams for consideration. We do have a couple other longer bench options. You can search for 72" bench, or follow this link: https://www.polywood.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=72%22%20bench Thank you, Mindy
Can a plaque be attached to this bench?
Hello Teresa, Thank you for reaching out to us about this. You certainly can add a plaque to the bench, we recommend using adhesive to attach to avoid any screws from poking through when attaching it. Thanks -Jason
How big are the slats on the back of the bench?
Hell TL, Thank you for reaching out to us and for your interest in our Lakeside 48" Bench. The slats on the back of this bench are 5.5 inches tall. Thanks -Jason
