Even better than I expected!

I love this bench! The description does not do it justice. I thought I was getting a cute, lightweight plastic bench. I had no idea what polywood was, so I was surprised by the weight of the box (50lbs.) This material is so sturdy and durable and even comes with a 20 year warranty. It is heavy enough to withstand some of the strong winds we get occasionally. Another surprise is that the inside of the seat and base of the backing both have stainless steel supports. It was fairly simple to put together, but you really should use a screw gun to attach the gussets. I love that the seat is contoured which makes it super comfortable! It is large enough for two adults or 3 children to sit together. Highly recommended this bench!

+3 more

Beautiful bench, however, what seemed like a very simple assembly was made extremely difficult because holes were not properly aligned. Had to go off script and loosen all bolts and with 2 people over a substantial period of time was finally able to use and align all bolts.

Poor quality control, not worth the money

The back piece didn’t fit correctly with the sides. I had to shave one side down to fit, and the part you screw into on the other side wasn’t fixed to the end. Once I got the bench together it was wobbly. I think I had reasonable expectations and for a $400 bench this fell way short. Maybe Polywood would have sent out replacement parts had I asked but I just wanted to buy a high quality bench and be done with it, not do clerical work so they can do their quality control on the back side.

I ordered a green 2

I ordered a green 2 seater bench. which took almost 3 weeks to arrive but it was worth waiting. Instructions and accompanying tools made it easy to put together, my spouse did it lol. I am 5’ 2” , the seat is perfect and the back rest is comfortable. This beautiful bench looks great around our new fish pond. I love it! I also bought a lime green side table 18”x18” I love it too! I highly recommend these outdoor furniture by Polywood that’s made to last in the outdoors.

Great product, great company- manufacturing defect

I have multiple Polywood products, and know they are quality and hold up over time. They are also very comfortable. The bench I received has a manufacturing defect where the parts do not fit into the slots, making the back of the bench wobbly. Ordinarily, I would give a 1 star review for this but given how happy I have been with the brand up until this point I'm giving 3 stars. They do have a good warranty so if this bench fails because of the defect I hope they will replace it.

Perfect!

We absolutely love our Polywood furniture! It's comfortable, looks nice, is sturdy, and feels like it will hold up in harsh weather. The Vineyard Bench and Newport Coffee Table are a perfect combination and fit nicely on our smallish deck. We paired these with a couple of Nautical Rockers and it's now our favorite spot. We shopped around a little and found there are a lot of options for nice outdoor furniture, but when there is a quality American-made product made from recycled materials and with great customer service, it quickly outshines everything else!

Meet me at the Bench!

This is the 6th bench we have installed in our community over the last 3 years. The first ones still look as good as the most recent. We place them on Tennessee blue stone slabs to keep the mowers from knocking them about. It's amazing how many people now come out of their houses to sit on these benches and talk with their neighbors. Best acquisition ever!

Happy mother on her new bench!

Excellent product. Went together easily. Very sturdy. We bought this for our elderly mother to sit on at the farm. This bench replaced an earlier wood bench that rotted away. My father passed away a couple years ago but my mom swears that sometimes dad is still with her sitting beside her just as he used to after a day of chores on the farm. My mom says the bench is very comfortable and feels as if it was custom made for her.

Awesome Polywood service and product

Purchased this bench and two side tables in black to contrast and blend with the 7 piece Lakeside Table and Chairs we purchased a year ago. Very well made and easy to assemble. Took about 1 hr including unpacking. Does take two people to assemble due to large size to align properly. Very straight forward, only 16 screws! Comes with tool but power screwdriver really helps.

The product is pretty basic. It has some heft to it but still feels like there could be more support towards the middle of the seat.Some of the holes were predrilled incorrectly so we had to make new holes. Not terrible but not great.Will do what we need it to do.Probably wouldn’t spend this much money on something like this again.
