Amish Made Polywood Outdoor Furniture - the new standard

The new standard in Amish outdoor furniture is polywood furniture (also known as poly furniture).  While the Amish continue to build outdoor furniture made in yellow pine, cedar and cypress, polywood furniture is quickly becoming the new standard of excellence.  At DutchCrafters, we've been a leading Internet retailer of Amish poly furniture since 2003.

Polywood furniture is sustainable

Polywood outdoor furniture is highly regarded for several reasons.  Since poly furniture is made from recycled plastics instead of wood, it is very ecologically friendly.  For every 100 lbs of polywood, 1000 milk jugs - otherwise destined for landfills - find a new useful life.  Polywood furniture is sustainable furniture.

Polywood furniture is maintenance free

Another benefit in polywood outdoor furniture is that is it virtually maintenance free.  Unlike wood outdoor furniture that must be frequently repainted, treated and cleaned of mildew - polywood furniture maintains its beauty for decades.  It is easy to clean from time to time with a little soap and water, or can easily be pressure cleaned without worry of taking off paint.  If it is scratched or dinged, it is hardly noticeable since polywood colors are true throughout the product - not just at surface level.

Poly furniture is durable

Additionally, poly furniture is long-lasting and highly durable.  It won't splinter, crack or warp and is both pest-resistant and weather resistant.  Polywood outdoor furniture will hold up in extreme climates, from hot and humid Florida to the freezing temperatures of Minnesota.  It is built to last for decades.  Polywood outdoor furniture is more expensive than wood furniture, but the value of the investment carries for many years.

Polywood furniture comes in a variety of colors, styles and sizes.  Our polywood tables and polywood chairs are strong, durable and very comfortable.  If you're looking for polywood chairs, consider our popular Adirondack polywood chairs.


Polywood chairs - a testimonial

"We purchased a set of white polywood chairs for ourselves shortly after we founded DutchCrafters, just to see for ourselves how they would hold up.  That was in 2003.  Almost a decade later, these polywood chairs are still our favorite outdoor chairs and have a prominent place on our patio.  We pressure clean them once a year, and they look as good as the day we bought them.  They are comfortable and hold up just fine, even in the hot Florida sun.  We also feel good about our polywood chairs, knowing that they are Earth-friendly and American made."
