Q1: What defines a "Poly Dining Chair," and what is its single greatest advantage over wood or metal?


A: A Poly Dining Chair is made fromHigh-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a recycled plastic material pressed into thick, lumber-like boards.

  1. Most significant Advantage:Zero Maintenance. Poly chairs never rot, splinter, warp, rust, or require sanding, staining, or painting. They are ideal for busy households or commercial dining.

  2. Material: It is heavy and incredibly robust, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (hot and cold) and high wind.


Q2: Why is the color stability of Poly Dining Chairs so reliable?


A: The coloring process for Poly is integral to the material, not just a surface layer:

  1. UV Inhibitors: High-quality poly lumber containsUV-inhibiting pigments that are mixed throughout the entire material, not just applied to the surface.

  2. Color-Through: Because the color runs all the way through the material ("color-through"), minor nicks or scratches are virtually invisible, unlike paint on wood or metal.

  3. Fade Resistance: Poly is highly fade-resistant, even in intense sunlight, retaining its vibrant or neutral color for decades.


Q3: What are the two primary drawbacks of Poly Dining Chairs?


A: While superior in maintenance, Poly has two key drawbacks:

  1. Weight: Poly is very dense, making the chairsheavy. It makes them stable, but more challenging to move and rearrange than aluminum or cedar chairs.

  2. Cost: The manufacturing process and material quality make Poly a moreexpensive initial investment than bare-wood or metal chairs. However, this cost is typically offset by the lifetime maintenance savings.


Q4: How should Poly Dining Chairs be cleaned after spills?


A: Cleaning Poly is very simple due to its non-porous surface:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a simple solution of dish soap and water.

  2. Stubborn Stains: For tough stains (like wine, mustard, or mold), a bleach-and-water solution is safe to use, as the color will not be affected.

  3. Sanding: In rare cases of deep staining, the non-porous surface can even be lightly sanded without damaging the color.
