Q&A

I’m interested in the black color. It would be on an uncovered patio. We live in the Midwest so it gets very hot in summers. Will the material burn your bottom if it’s uncovered and you sit on it?

Hi Karen! Great question! POLYWOOD furniture is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is designed to withstand sun and heat without splintering, cracking, or fading. Like any material left in direct sunlight — including wood and aluminum — POLYWOOD can become hot to the touch in very sunny conditions, but it won’t burn your skin. If you live in a hot or arid region, using cushions and umbrellas for shade, protective covers when not in use, and lighter lumber and fabric colors can help keep the furniture cooler and more comfortable. Many customers successfully use POLYWOOD on uncovered patios, even in hot climates. Happy Shopping! Best, Amber

It looks like the bench is attached to the table. Can the table be not attached to the table?

Hello Joe, Thanks for your question about the Lakeside 6-Piece Farmhouse Dining Set with Bench! The bench in this set is separate from the table, not attached. I hope this information helps! Best, Hannah

I am very concerned with comfort while sitting in chairs and am not seeing “comfort”mentioned in any of the reviews. I need them to be ergonomic/very comfy, not just a straight back. Can you address, please? Thanks

Hi Michele, Thank you for your question. We understand how important comfort is. Our Lakeside dining chairs are designed with a gently contoured backrest and a supportive seat for a comfortable dining experience. While they don’t have built-in cushioning, many customers find them comfortable for extended sitting. If you’re looking for extra plushness, adding a seat cushion can be a good option. Thanks, Lana

We live in NJ. Does the set come with a cover for the table or chairs to store during winter? Can the chairs be stacked?

Hello Neeta, thank you for your question! At this time, we do not offer furniture covers. However, we highly recommend checking out TheCoverStore.com, which offers a wide variety of quality covers that should fit most of our furniture pieces. While we aren't partnered with them, many of our customers have had great experiences finding covers that work perfectly with our products. The chairs also cannot be stacked.

can I get all 4 chairs with arms? there a little wider

PWS2285-1

I am trying to determine if my patio has enough room for this set. Can you tell me a recommend width and length tk comfortably use this set with being able to move chairs/Bench in and out from the table? Thank you

Hi Kyle, Thank you for your question! The minimum space requirement for the Lakeside 6 Piece Dining set is 116"W x 74"D, which factors in chairs and bench in use. Thanks, Lana

Does the bench stow completely under the table?

Hi Angie, Thanks for your question! The 65" Farmhouse Trestle bench will fit most of the way under the table, but not completely under the table. Thanks, Lana

Is the “minimum space recommended” measurement assuming enough space to pull out and sit in all chairs?

Hi Laura, The recommended minimum space requirement measures from where the front of the dining chair arm meets the table edge. If you were to pull the chairs out to sit farther back from the table, it would require more space. Thanks, Lana

Can I change out two side chairs for a bench? I would like two benches and two end chairs.

Thank you for your question, Debra. We are not able to modify our sets, but you can order the items individually. You would order (2) TLD200, (2) PL36-T1L1 and (1) FDT3772 to get the configuration with 2 benches and no side chairs. Thanks! Lana

What size cushion do you recommend for the bench?

Hello Tracey, That is a great question! We do not actually have any cushions for the backless benches at this time, as there would be nowhere to tie them to. I can pass your interest on to our design teams for consideration. Please sign up for the newsletter, as that would be where any potential new products would be announced. Thanks, Mindy

Can I switch out the bench for to arm chairs and how much is the total price

Hi Inge, Great question! If you prefer chairs, we think you will love our Lakeside 7-Piece Farmhouse Dining Set (PWS516-1). The set includes one Farmhouse 37" x 72" Dining Table (FDT3772), two Lakeside Dining Arm Chairs (TLD200), and four Lakeside Dining Side Chairs (TLD100). The price will vary based on the color you choose and can be viewed on the Product Page on polywood.com. We hope you find the perfect set for your space! Thanks for asking, Brooke

What’s the max weight a chair can hold?

Hi Sara, Great question! All POLYWOOD furniture is tested using ATSM standards. The Lakeside Dining Chairs have been tested to hold up to 400 pounds. Thanks for asking, Michelle

Does this set have a hole in the table for an umbrella?

Hi Emily, Great question! Yes, the Farmhouse 37" x 72" Dining Table is outfitted with 1.625" center hole for standard umbrella. Thank you, Michelle

Do you have enough room to sit in the chairs without hitting one of the 4 support legs on the table?

Hello Sue, Thank you for reaching out to us. The design of the legs on the table in the Lakeside 6-Piece Farmhouse Dining Set With Bench leaves ample room for leg space. Thanks -Jason

Does everything come assembled?

Hello Deb, Thank you for reaching out. With the Lakeside 6 piece Farmhouse Dining set with Bench the dining chairs in this set come assembled, but the table and bench do require some assembly. Thanks -Jason

Is there a hole in the center to be able to put an umbrella?

Hey Brandi, Thank you for reaching out. The Farmhouse 37" x 72" Dining Table in this set does come fitted with an Umbrella hole and Umbrella plug. Thanks -Jason

Does the slate grey get hit in the sun

Hey Sherri, That is a good question. POLYWOOD furniture is designed to remain outdoors in all climates. However, on very hot, sunny days some of our darker lumber colors will absorb heat more readily if they are placed in the direct sunlight. We always recommend that our customers test the temperature of their furniture with the back of their hand on these hot days to ensure they are safe to sit on, but we also suggest moving the furniture to a shady area or covering the furniture with a suitable outdoor furniture cover. Thanks -Jason

Can I get this set with armless chairs?

Hi there, Chris! A set combination is not available on our site for just the armless chairs with the bench. You can order these items all A La Carte (individually added to your cart), but you would just not get a set price. Best wishes, Jay C.
