Q&A

Does the black Polywood furniture get hot in direct sunlight?

Hello Lee, Thank you for your question! We've designed POLYWOOD furniture to remain outdoors in all climates, but on hot days in direct sunlight, darker lumber colors readily absorb heat. If you live in an arid or frequently sunny region, you can take steps to keep your furniture cool and comfortable on hot days: - Use cushions or umbrellas to shade your furniture and minimize heat buildup. - Use protective furniture covers to shield your furniture from overheating when not in use. For covers, we recommend thecoverstore.com. I hope this information helps! Best, Emma

we would like to buy the Lakeside 9-Piece Farmhouse Dining Set with Trestle Legs, but with all 8 chairs with arm chairs.

Hello Doug, I apologize, our sets cannot be changed or modified. You can still order what you want, you just have to do so individually. Thanks for asking, Mindy

The Lakeside arm rest is only about 7" above the seat. When using the recommended Polywood cushion, the gap is less than 5". At that distance, I cannot comfortably rest my arms on the arm rests. Do your other chairs have similar measurements? I'm not sure if I can tolerate this.

Hi Tom, Our dining arm chairs are designed to slide under our dining tables and dining chair arm heights and our dining arm chairs will be 25"H or less. Thanks for asking! Lana

Which size cushion fits on the lakeside dining arm chair ?

Hi Nic, Thank you for your question! The cushion that fits this chair is SKU# XPWS0183 and can be found under the Shop Accessories tab on the Lakeside Dining Arm Chair product page. Happy shopping! Thanks, Lana

Can I return chairs from a 5 piece set with chairs with arms? Seems i made a mistake on my order.

Hi Charlie, Great question! If you've received your order within the last 30 days you may take advantage of our 30-Day No-Hassle return policy to ship back the chairs from the set for credit. Simply visit our Help Center to start your return. Thanks! Lana

How wide is the armrest? Could you put a glass/drink on it? Thanks!

Hi M.C., Thank you for your inquiry! The arm width of the Lakeside Dining Chair with Arms is 2.8". It's not quite wide enough to confidently set a delicious glass of iced tea on. Thanks! Lana

Hi will the Lakeside chairs work well with 38x72 Parsons table or do you reccommend another style?

Hello Sally, That is a great question! Yes, any of our dining tables will work with any of our dining chairs. They are all designed and built to work well together, you just have to decide on the sytle you would like. Not only would these work, but I believe they would look lovely together. Thanks, Mindy

Do the vintage colors have more of a wood-grain look or are they smooth like the classic colors?

Hi Tammy, Thank you for your question! Yes, the Vintage finishes do have more of a wood grain appearance. Our Vintage Finish evokes the richness and character of matte-painted wood but doesn’t require refinishing after exposure to the elements. Thanks, Lana

Weight limit for chairs

Hi Suz, Great question! All POLYWOOD furniture is tested using ATSM standards. The Lakeside Dining Arm Chair has been tested to hold up to 350 pounds. Thanks for asking, Michelle

The Lakeside armchair is presenting a problem in putting the arms on the chair. The screw-threaded dowels will not screw in, they are too tight to screw in using fingers! Do I have to drill the holes a little bigger, or do you have a suggestion on how to screw in the dowel without damaging the screw threads?

Hi Richard, Thank you for reaching out with your question! We are so sorry to hear of the issues you faced with assembling your furniture. The dowel does not need to be hand-tightened, only started enough that it will hold itself in the material. As you rotate the arm onto the side, it will thread itself into the material on both ends, stopping in the middle due to the collar that is in the center of the dowel. If you need further assistance, please contact our Customer Service Team at (855)-935-5550 and we'll be more than happy to answer any additional questions you may have. Thank you, Michelle

Is the hardware stainless steel?

Hi Kim, Great question! For optimal performance and longevity, we use high-performance marine-grade quality stainless steel hardware for the assembly and construction of all POLYWOOD furniture. Thanks for asking, Michelle

Will it hold a 500 pound person

Hello Barbara, All of our products are put through standard ASTM testing. These chairs are tested to hold up to 400 pounds. Thanks, Mindy

What is the weight limit for these chairs? I have some friends who are fairly large, around 300+...thanks.

What size screws are used to hold the legs to the underside of the Lakeside dining chair? One of the six delivered to me is missing two of the screws - the chair is unsafe to sit on right now (I already sent a note to customer service earlier tonight - don't expect a reply for a few more days)

Hello Johnathan, Thank you for reaching out to POLYWOOD. I do see our customer service team has responded to your email request. I hope we were able to resolve this in a quick and prompt manner. Thanks -Jason

If I want them just an inch lower, can I chop off an inch on each leg?

Hello Frillie, We would strongly advise against cutting down the chairs as they have not been tested that way and we can not guarantee how structurally sound the chairs would be after modification. Also doing so would void your 20 year warranty. Thank you for reaching out, Heather

Do any of your dining chairs swivel?

Hi Judy, Thanks for asking. We do have swivel style Adirondack dining chairs, but no swivel style traditional dining chairs. I have included a link to all the swivel chairs that we have, in case you are interested in the Adirondack style. https://www.polywood.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=swivel%20dining#/filter:furniture_type:Dining$2520Chairs Happy shopping!
