- Is poly lumber better than wood for outdoor chairs?
- For low upkeep, yes. HDPE poly lumber will not rot, splinter or need sealing, while wood needs regular staining and can crack. Poly furniture is heavier and looks more plastic up close.
- How long does assembly take?
- Plan on an hour or more for both chairs. The kits use basic bolts and tools, and following the steps in order matters because the rockers must line up.
- Can these chairs stay outside all year?
- Yes. HDPE handles rain, sun and freezing temperatures without rotting. Wipe them down periodically and store them if you want the finish to stay bright.
- Do the chairs come with cushions?
- No. The set is the two chairs only, so add outdoor cushions if you want softer seating.
- How much weight do they hold?
- Poly lumber frames of this style typically support around 250 to 300 pounds per chair. Check the label on your unit before relying on a figure.
- Is the rocking motion smooth?
- It is a simple curved-runner rock, fine for gentle lounging. It is not a glider or swivel, so expect a basic back-and-forth motion.
