Comparing 3 different brands
I tried all 3 synthetic material Adirondack style chairs I saw on Amazon - the Highwood, the Polywood, and the Trex. They were all good to very good, and similarly priced from. Specific pros & cons: Highwood has 3 different back recline settings, and the most comfortable armrests. It was slightly less expensive than the others, but required more work to assemble, taking 25 minutes vs. the others taking 5 minutes tops. If you're good at assembly, you'll have no problem with the Highwood; if you're not a DIY person, you'd be happier with the other two brands. Polywood model - widest variety of colors and very easy to assemble. Probably the best overall, though the back doesn't recline like the Highwood. Trex brand: Very good overall, but probably 3rd out of the 3 to me - Trex was easy to put together like the Polywood, but didn't have the same color variety. Also, the Trex I got had one screw poking through the slats that would poke a person sitting in the chair. Easy enough to fix (back the screw out a little) but for the price would have appreciated better quality control.
