Reviews

Perfect for the patio.

"Perfect for the patio."

Tami P. (5/5)

South Beach Rocker

"Perfect rocker for us. We bought two in green. It is very comfortable for a shorter adult. The seat is flatter than others of this style, so I don’t sink clear to the back, and my legs can easily reach the ground. One critique that I have is that it would have been nice to have the parts labeled for right and left to save time when assembling. But even with that, I am so pleased with these rockers, I’d give ten stars if I could!"

Dawnita H. (5/5)

This chair is so comfortable,

"This chair is so comfortable, easy to get in and out of, and looks great on my patio. It will be just perfect when our first grandchild arrives in March! It was also pretty easy to assemble."

LYNNE H. (5/5)

Disappointed

"hi I sent an email to you last week indicating we wanted to return what we purchased. It’s not what we expected and I have not heard back so my review is on the merchandise. It was much smaller and not what we expected to be and we ordered something that we knew somebody else had bought the same exact thing several years earlier, which was much bigger and nicer, which is why we wanna return it. Second part of my review is on your customer service overall, I have not heard back on returning my material. What is your policy on that?"

Janice H. (5/5)

Great Rockers!

"Awesome new furniture! Very comfortable and stylish!"

dan p. (5/5)

DISAPPOINTED

"Just received this item and I must admit after several other purchases was somewhat disappointed, the chair was difficult to assemble due several pre-drilled holes were NOT drilled therefore I had to drill them making this assembly difficult, this will not prevent me from future purchases."

PAUL B. (3/5)

South Beach Fab Style

"A well crafted rocking chair from Polywood. And after 10 plus years, discovering that the company still made them was a delight. And I purchased many more . . ."

Donna C. (5/5)

Great chair

"This polywood red rocking chair really brightens up the porch and is comfortable to sit in."

Alan Y. (5/5)

Poor quality control

"The arms are different on two of the four chairs. Looks like the piece under the arm was fastened by Polywood in the wrong position."

Mark H. (3/5)

These chairs are very small,

"These chairs are very small, more sized for a 10-12 year old not adults. I have tried to get a hold of someone at Polywood via phone and chat to return them and am having a hard time getting anyone to respond to me. Good quality, but small."

Q&A

Which footrest would you recommend with the south beach Adirondack rocking chair?
Hi Kristin, Thank you for your inquiry! We do not have recommended ottomans for our rocking chairs. Based on the width of the rocking chair, the OT53 Adirondack Folding Ottoman may be a good fit. Thanks! Lana
What ottoman would you suggest to pair with this chair?
Hi Kristin, Thank you for your inquiry! We do not have recommended ottomans for our rocking chairs. Based on the width of the rocking chair, the **OT53 Adirondack Folding Ottoman** may be a good fit. Thanks! Lana
Will Plywood furniture absorb heat in the sun at the beach? Our sundeck isn't covered, so chairs/rockers will be exposed to direct sunlight. Which color(s) in your product line stays the coolest? Which colors of your products absorbs the least heat! Our sundeck at the beach has no roof or cover, so we would want the color that absorbs the least heat.

At 26" for the seatback would hit me at the top of my shoulders like an airline seat:-(. Which of your Adirondack chair models (rocker or not) have the highest seatbacks? (like hopefully 33"+) Tall people like to be able to put their head back too;-). Thanks!
Hi Steve, Thanks for your question! Our highest-back Adirondack chairs have a back height of 27.75" - models SBD16 and AD610. I'm happy to forward your suggestion for taller backs to leadership for future consideration. Thanks! Lana
What is the seat depth (back of legs to the back) & back height (from seat to the top of the back). I’m 6’2” and many chairs are always too shallow in seat depth and never have a high enough back to rest my head. Thx
Hi Steve, Thank you for your interest in the South Beach Rocking Chair! The seat depth is 17 inches. The height of the back from the seat to the top of the back is approximately 26 inches. I hope this helps. Thank you, Michelle
Which cushions work with the south Beach rockers? Which cushions work with the south Beach Chairs? Which cushions work with the south beach lounges? I need to order cushions for all three. Thanks!
Hello Jim, Thank you for reaching out to POLYWOOD about our South Beach products. I will include links below to the cushions needed for all three of those products. South Beach Rocker and chair- https://www.polywood.com/south-beach-seat-cushion-17-d-x-20-w-x-2-5-h-xpws0053.html South Beach Chaise- https://www.polywood.com/chaise-cushion-xpwf0051.html Thanks -Jason
What is the best headrest for the South Beach folding Adirondack chair and the South Beach rocking chair . We have both types of chairs .
Hello Che, Thank you for reaching out about head rest pillows for your chairs. The South Beach Rocking chair would use our XPWP0106 Headrest Pillow - One Strap and the South Beach Folding Adirondack would use XPWP0133 Headrest Pillow - Two Strap. Best wishes, Heather
Can you add a drink holder to this chair and if so how much extra would this cost?
Hello Amanda, I'm sorry, but we do not have any furniture options with a drink holder. We also cannot add one, as this would compromise the integrity of the chair. The arm rests on the South Beach Rocking Chair are 3.50inches wide and would certainly be enough room to set a drink. Thanks for asking, Mindy
Which Adirondack chair models have the highest back height (distance between seat and top of back)? I tried the Allen & Roth version from Lowes, but the back height was too low. Is there something with a higher back?
Hello C.S, Thank you so much for reaching out with this question! Two Adirondacks with the tallest seat backs are the Nautical Curveback Adirondack https://www.polywood.com/nautical-curveback-adirondack-chair-ad610.html and the Seashell Adirondack https://www.polywood.com/seashell-adirondack-sh22.html The Seat height is 30 inches on both of these chairs. Thanks again! Jillian
Is the back high enough that you can rest your head on it?
Hi there, Thanks for reaching out! The backrest is about 31" from the rear of the seat to the top of the tallest slat. It will depend on how tall you are and how upright you sit in the chair as to whether you'll be able to rest your head or not. Have a great day! Candace
Have you ever considered to include Fucsia as a color for your rocking chairs? We are a Frozen Yogurt Franchise currently using your lime SKU# SBR16, and we would like to buy some Fucsia of these models.
Hi Edgar, This is something that I can pass onto our product development team. As far as I know, this color isn't currently being pursued. Thank you for reaching out to us! Ashley
What is the weight limit?
Hello Letty, This chair has passed both our residential and commercial grade testing standards, which means it is rated for a static load of up to 400 pounds plus. Thank you for your question, Bryce
