Polywood Patio Furniture

[skinsfan]

Considering buying a set for the back porch and looking for advice. Does anyone have it? Satisfied? Likes/Dislikes?

We compared polywood and eucalyptus wood when we bought our back porch set. They say polywood lasts 20 years and eucalyptus last 25. We bought ours from American Furniture Warehouse and eucalyptus was more affordable so that is what we went with. I figured if I got 10 years out of it then we got our moneys worth. Just my 2 cents.

We looked at polywood in south of Kemah, it was nice and expensive. They have a warranty on it also. I would buy it if the choice was mine but my wife wasnt happy with it.

It's nice, heavy, and doesn't hardly have any cons aside from its price

We went ahead and ordered a seven piece set.$1509 out the door, not much more than some of the sets at the big box stores. I was surprised that it was a lot cheaper in store than it was online, I don’t remember the name of the retailer off the top of my head but it was almost $200 cheaper than buying it direct from Polywood. Definitely not the most attractive or the most comfortable patio furniture we found but I’m getting tired of throwing stuff away every couple of years. Hopefully this will last a long time!

I had never heard of eucalyptus wood, wish I would’ve read that yesterday!

We have some at lake house and some at our house. No complaints and should last a long time.

We have a set outside by our fire pit for last 7 years and 0 issue.

Good to hear the positive feedback. Set should arrive in 3 weeks!

I’ve looked into Polywood before too and heard good things about its durability. It's heavy and solid, which is great if you don’t want to be replacing your furniture every few years. It can be a bit pricey, but from what I’ve seen, it’s worth it for something that’ll last. If you want to explore more options before deciding, you can see here for some other outdoor furniture ideas.

For anybody still curious...

We've got a polywood patio set and dining table, outdoor obviously. They're incredibly durable and light. The cushions are seemingly very weatherproof as well. On second year with no fading or water damage. No more rushing out to stash cushions during the rain... Just stand them up on the seat when not in use so they can drain if they get wet.

I've got no complaints at all other than the initial assembly. Just tedious work with an allen wrench (or drill on lower torque setting). I'm sure OP can attest by now...

I have stuff from Luxcraft. I have a pier out into the bay. I have 4 swivel gliders screwed down to the T head. 3 times the storms have torn off my T head and washed these chairs down the bulk head a 5-8 houses. They have all survived. They are Stainless Steal parts and have never rusted. When they were washed away and got a few parts messed up I have sent pictures in and depending on the amount either sent me new parts for free or had a small service charge. Make sure if you do Poly that the color is through the product not just an outer stain.

There are some cheap makes but Luxcraft is a true buy once pay once and last forever.

We've got the polywood chairs that set under our gazebo and they have been great so for.

When we built our pool last year, I cheaped out and got the pvc wicker type loungers and chairs from Costco. Sprayed them with 303 but now after 2 summers they are deteriorating. Meanwhile, there is a company in Granbury called Built to Last Furniture that does the polywood style. It's the heaviest I've seen and it's pricey. They exhibit at every festival event here and we know exactly what we like and don't. It's gonna be big check to write but I'm planning on it and believe it will be the last pool furniture I will need to buy. Won't get blown into my pool like the lightweight stuff!

I always buy that metal mesh outdoor furniture so I can see any critters underneath before I get stung in the butt.

The expensive thicker poly is nice though, not the flimsy stuff.
