Reviews

Super sturdy and beautiful!

"This bench is well made and gorgeous! We had a little hard time lining up the holes, near the end of putting it together. We finally managed to get it together. It takes at least 2 people to put it together. It is heavy so you need someone to hold the pieces, while the other person screws the screws in place. It looks very nice on our front porch!!"

We love all our Pollywood

"We love all our Pollywood products. All 12 of them. We started off with the rockers and bar stools we got recliners for inside the Lanai and outside on the patio. The durability of the product, it doesn't fade, it doesn't weather. The cushions that We bought for the recliners and the bar stools have held up. They haven't faded with the sun. I would definitely recommend this product. We are very happy. Don and Kerri Connors"

Assembly with two people was

"Assembly with two people was effortless. The color was perfect. We have enjoyed this piece for the past couple of weeks. Thank you for a quality product."

Rosemary T. (5/5)

Holes were not pre-drilled in

"Holes were not pre-drilled in the correct places which led to a massive difficulty assembling the bench and extra hours of work to get all the screws lined up. Once assembled though, the bench is quite comfortable. I worry about long term durability though, with all yhe extra stress on the screw holes."

Q&A

I notice a bar on the backside of the bench at the top. I assume its function is to provide strength and stability. Aesthetically does it come in the same color as the bench, e.g., white on a white bench?
Hello Ted, Thanks for asking! Yes, you are correct. The bar is for stability of the back of the bench. I'm afraid we do not color match, they will all be silver. Thanks, Mindy
What is the weight capacity of the bench
Hi Nancy, Thanks for reaching out with your question! The Nautical 48" Bench is weight tested up to 300lbs per seat, 600lbs total. Have a great day, Tracey
Is the curved back comfortable?
Hi Victoria, Thank you for reaching out with your question! This bench has a curved seat and back for added comfort, and the handle in the headrest makes maneuvering it easy. Hope this helps with your purchasing options. -Best wishes, Michelle
What is the weight capacity of this 48" bench?
Hello Jane, We appreciate your reaching out about our Nautical 48" Bench. This bench like each product is run through a variety of tests to comply with ASTM standards. POLYWOOD chairs are weight tested up to 300lbs, although many products can withstand much more. This is 2 seats so 600lb. Best wishes, Heather
What is the best way to secure the bench to a wooden platform?
Hi Sheila, Thanks for reaching out to us! Yes, you can use metal L brackets to mount the bench legs to the wooden platform to anchor the bench in place. We don't have the hardware that we could send, but you should be able to locate it at your local hardware store. This would not void your warranty. All the best, Candace
