Can you leave POLYWOOD out all year?

"I cannot love the high-top swivel chairs enough! Super comfortable and sturdy, so much so that I have two more on order to complete my table! The winter cold and snow didn’t bother it one bit …"

Suzanne B.

"... No more worrying about storing all the patio furniture for the winter. It’s heavy and won’t blow away, and it’s weatherproof. Couldn’t be happier."

Do you need to cover POLYWOOD in winter?

"We purchased our Classic Adirondack Chairs a few years ago but waited to add the ottomans … The chairs and ottomans are truly weather-resistant—we don't even cover them in the winter. The pair is super comfortable and my favorite lounge spot on the deck."

Karen W.

"We recently bought these end tables to go with the Adirondack rockers we bought in April of 2020. We’ve been so impressed with the durability of the rockers we decided to purchase the side tables. We’ve had our rockers outside completely exposed, never covered, to the elements for four [years], and they look as good as the day we got them …"

Can you power wash POLYWOOD?

"... My pieces stay out year-round. I power wash them in the spring, and they are gorgeous. Sturdy and durable, they show no signs of aging. A high-quality product with classic beauty."

Alice L.

"... The care is simple. I usually power wash it with dish soap at the beginning of the season and at the end. You could also just scrub it with soap …"

Is white POLYWOOD hard to keep clean?

"Ready and waiting for the little grands to eat, spill, and eat again. Easy to clean and looks great! What more could a grandparent want? Thanks, POLYWOOD, for another great product!"

Does POLYWOOD do well in coastal climates?

"This furniture is a must if you live by the ocean. We get very high winds and needed heavy furniture that could stand up to year-round weather on the East Coast."

Susan S.

"Easy to assemble and strong enough to handle the ocean weather. Fits perfectly in our landing and stairs leading to the seashore. Same sturdy construction as our other POLYWOOD furniture."

David S.

Do POLYWOOD seat cushions have ties to attach to the furniture in high winds?

"Very comfortable, and two sets of ties help them remain secure. Love the palm pattern on the Navy [fabric]."

Is POLYWOOD comfortable for tall people?

"I needed 2 tall bar chairs for our screen porch as my husband is 6'6". They are perfect. We put them together with no issues."

Melody B.

"These chairs are so well made and comfortable. My 5-foot-tall mom and 6.5-foot-tall husband equally enjoy the chairs. We are very pleased with the design and can't wait to entertain with them for years to come."
