After seeing the wear on my painted wood adirondack chairs and table after only three years I became discouraged. Clearly I would need to sand and repaint them to get them looking good again. Then I found out about outdoor furniture made out of recycled milk cartons. Amazing! So basically I used to be a wood only snob and now I am a "polywood" convert. We have enough work to do keeping up with our wood decks in the mountains and I wasn't intererested in also re-painting our furniture every couple of years.
My husband put the bench together with some help from me inside on the carpet, then we brought it outside. It looks stylish and best of all it feels nice and solid. This is also important to me because we get a lot of high winds in the mountains and I don't want it knocked down. What I love the most about this Chippendale bench is NO maintenance. Yes, it initially costs more but I don't expect to spend any time maintaining it or have to replace so I feel the investment is worth it. I even found a cushion that will fit it on LL Bean. It's called the "Casco Bay Cushion for All-Weather Bench." (It measures 43" wide by 18" deep.)

Received a broken bench, ordered a replacement and that one arrived broken as well.
UPDATE: I received my replacement bench from Amazon today and it is also broken! Apparently Polywood has screwed up an entire production run of these benches because my new one is broken in the same way as my old one. Seriously how hard is it to make a bench? Two chances is enough for these guys, stay away from Polywood!This bench looks great, but I have some serious concerns about quality control over at Polywood.When the bench arrived the back piece was broken in two, I actually tried to assemble the thing assuming these were actually two different pieces until I realized how broken it was. From the instructions I have attached you can clearly see these things are supposed to be attached.I know a lot of products can get broken in shipping and I considered that before writing this review, however the condition of the box was perfectly fine and for a product that is supposedly warrantied for 20 years it should be able to survive a couple jostles in transit.TL;DR: It's a nice bench, but due to the poor quality control at Polywood don't be surprised if you need to order a couple of different benches from Amazon before you get enough pieces to assemble a proper bench.
