Outdoor Patio Furniture Should Be Enjoyed Year After Year

When customers asked us to start carrying outdoor furniture, naturally, we searched for a real wood product. However, while there are weather resistant species such as cedar, teak, eucalyptus, and redwood that make fine outdoor furniture, we still worried about the longevity of the furniture, maintenance, and the environmental impact that the use of these woods is causing on forests around the world.

Instead, we found Polywood! Polywood outdoor furniture is manufactured in Syracuse, Indiana. It is 100% American made and super eco-friendly. The composite plastic lumber has the look, thickness, weight, and feel of real wood and it’s virtually indestructible.
