Thought this was a pretty good deal for the Adirondack chairs with the curved back, waterfall edge and higher sitting position. I think it's the same model as the Nautical curved chairs on the Polywood website. Also comes with a matching side table which is usually around $80. The curved back chairs are usually more expensive than the flat backed ones. Deal is good through 4/27. Picked up 3 sets for the fire pit!

The chairs at the warehouse are by Leisure Line. They are closer in design to a traditional Adirondack -- low seating position, with a steep bottom angle.

The chairs in OP's post are by Polywood. The curve in the back leg raises the seat, and makes a less steep seat bottom. These are *much* easier to get in and out of.
White was also on sale.
Since that color does not appear on the website it is apparently sold out.
Very solid set and low maintenance. I have had mine for several years outside year round in pretty harsh weather and everything still looks good as new.
You may be able to find single chairs in the warehouse for around $130.

Quote from Dr. J :
Basically all "plastic wood" is recycled plastic to some extent. Decking companies tend to bury the reclaim resin on the interior of the board, with a virgin (new) capcoat, but of course the feedstock is more expensive and the manufacturing process more elaborate as well, so you pay for it.

That said, recycled plastic comes in a mutt of colors and quality, what you're typically left with is a brown or greyish blend. Color can be added to this, but making it white is tough - similar to how it's difficult to paint a grey wall white, it's much easier to paint it black, it's far easier (e.g. cheaper) to make colors OTHER than white. My guess is that "white" colors might just as well be virgin resin - at some point adding TiO2 (white mineral) to the plastic affects its processability and it might not be worth it to try and whiten a cheap greyed plastic.
.
Quite simply, recycled plastics cost more than new resin and why there are many, many billions of pounds of plastics in land fills around the world and floating in the oceans.

Much of the time, 'recycled' is a sales gimmick to make folks feel better for doing their little part towards 'green,' whereas the reality is that just from the USA, over a million tons of plastic waste each year is exported to poor countries as landfill from and according to the EPA, a total of over 38 million tons of plastic waste that only about 8.7% was recycled in 2018.

We, like many, have a recycle container and do separate that has proven to be a waste of time. Almost all goes to the same place.... the landfill with apparently the EPA's blessing. After all, the refuse people obtain yearly grants from the EPA to recycle, but only a small amount from the total is actually recycled to meet the requirements for taxpayer dollars.

Personally, I am thinking energy recovery from chemically recycling plastics would eliminate all waste past and present that already a massive annual volume, is steadily increasing with fewer places to dump it.

Yea, that has been the psychological sales pitch for a century or two. Paying more does not necessarily reflect in superior quality over a similar brand, but it somehow justifies the expenditure to some people. After all, you can pay the same or more for a Samsung appliance as a comparable Frigidaire, whereas the Samsung is junk for longevity.
The thread is on outdoor furniture and polywood. No one is talking about appliances. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Stainless screws. No rust at all. The sit 75ft from salt water, and certainly get spray during storm and wind events.

Not sure here..... but I am what you would consider "in the know". If you have a recycling issue, that's on you bud. Resin prices have skyrocketed (have you looked at oil lately?). Even supply/allocation has been a problem - commodity plastics like polyolefins (PP and PE, most of what you run into as a consumer on a day to day basis) were difficult to even procure just a few months ago.

What it comes down to is do we have the places to hide recycled plastics - products like this are perfect for the application since the consumer isn't expecting the aesthetics or the performance of virgin resin (recycling affects the mechanical and physical properties of the plastic).

Trust me, the amount of absolute trash that's put into consumer products would surprise you. Take a (cheaper) vinyl garden hose, cut in half and describe what the inside looks like.

I bought two sets in white 5 years ago, it's been outside in open lawn, I only cover them in winters but they still rock solid. I would need to clean them with soap this year but otherwise quality is amazing

lol... Now you want to move away from your generic response of "Buy once cry once" and make it specific? Alright, being specific and absolutely on topic, anyone that spends $400, let alone $540 for two plastic porch chairs with a plastic table has to be either an idiot, perpetually in debt, or blowing their retirement before it loses all of it's purchasing power.

Everything in life is an individual perception. Look up resin furniture on Thomas Registry and find the competition, a distributor/wholesaler, or if by Syracuse Indiana, pick this set up for around $180 with a resale tax number. There is a nice B&B just north of there in Goshen. We buy from Cardinal, Greenwell and others, but there are dozens of manufactures across the USA and elsewhere. Distance and shipping are major costs, including this set where someone down the street will pay the same price delivered as someone on the east or west coast. For color consistency, UV and longevity, white has been the best across all brands.

Just having a discussion here, but oil does not come into play with PVC; natural gas does. But, with at least three of the last four bozos in charge taking orders from the profiteers after destroying or sanctioning every oil and gas producing country but Saudi Arabia and now Israel, while recently selling surplus LPG to China while profiting from increasing sales to Europe, all energy costs will continue to rise in the USA and Europe.

I have no issue with recycling whatever, but with and as quoted by the EPA that only 8.7% of plastics were recycled in 2018 from some 38 million tons, that is a lot of plastic going someplace. And those 'someplaces' are now full, or like our landfills, filling up. With that and the price of energy, perhaps it is time to start using plastics for energy as other countries are beginning to do. But no, the bought and paid for USA leadership cannot cut into the oil and gas profits (or the military or pharmaceutical complex) that some six million have now died or displaced for across now eight countries.... but will be happy to tax everyone as carbon credits to line their pockets.

Anyway, multi tasking here, I need to finish up the day. Enjoy.....

Yes... apparently the white that is more expensive to manufacture was bait. Grey is the natural color of recycled milk jugs and such that requires a lot of fossil fuel energy to manufacture. $400 is the price of so called 'green' ....or in this case, grey.

I bought two sets of the white ones about 10 days ago, so no, they weren't just bait. You were just slow.

I bought this set 2 weeks ago. Both chairs had quality control issues (misaligned holes, some planks mounted incorrectly, etc.) I was able to fix them all but expected a better quality for such money.
My set came with zinc screws with painted heads. I have another set that was purchased 2 years ago from Costco and it did not have any problems and had stainless steel hardware.

But, when clean, white does look nice. Your blue may 'look cleaner' when dirty, but you or someone is still wiping it off with your clothes when sitting. I guess you can have someone else sit on them first, but I would use a damp rag on all colors before sitting down. It only takes a minute. A quick coat of car wax helps with the dust and dew drops, while making it is easier to wipe off.
Don't you get the wax on clothing? Any particular type of wax?
