I love the Polywood furniture.  This is the second set I have purchased.  One sat out in my front yard for 5 years and recently cleaned up as good as new.  This set I just purchased is on a dock at the lake.  No splinters, easy to clean, no fading, and doesn't get hot in the sun. It is heavy to carry but so easy to unfold and set up. The weight is great as wind will not blow it around. I am not particularly handy but easily installed the required bolts and had it all set up in 15 minutes.
