POLYWOOD® made recycled poly lumber famous — and if you've been shopping their Adirondack chairs or dining sets, you already know why the material is worth it: no painting, no rot, no splinters, and it shrugs off every season. But POLYWOOD® isn't the only company building furniture from HDPE poly lumber, and it isn't the only one building it well.
At Snyder's Furniture we carry poly outdoor furniture from four Amish shops in Lancaster and Chester County, Pennsylvania. All four use HDPE poly lumber and stainless hardware, and all four cover the furniture and its hardware for 20 years of residential use. The pieces on this page are built by Finch; the table below shows how every line compares with POLYWOOD®.

Is Finch Cheaper Than POLYWOOD®?
Honest answer: no — on chairs, Finch typically costs more. If you're shopping on price alone, POLYWOOD®'s entry-level pieces will win. Where Finch earns the difference is in the build: thicker poly lumber profiles, mortise-and-tenon joinery instead of bolted-only connections, furniture that arrives assembled by the same hands that built it, and hardware covered for 20 years instead of 5. Customers who sit in both usually feel the difference before we can explain it — Finch pieces are noticeably heavier and more rigid.
If you want the poly-lumber benefits at a genuinely lower price point, compare per-piece rather than per-brand: Finch dining sets are priced within POLYWOOD®'s range, and many Finch pieces are Quick Ship with free delivery to much of the East Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some good POLYWOOD® alternatives?
The strongest alternatives are other American-made HDPE poly lumber builders. Finch, Leisure Lawns, Meadow View and Patiova — all Amish-built in Lancaster and Chester County, PA, and all sold here — match POLYWOOD® on HDPE material and the 20-year residential warranty, and go further on hardware: 20 years of coverage versus POLYWOOD®'s 5.
Is there a cheaper alternative to POLYWOOD®?
On like-for-like chairs, most quality poly builders — Finch included — price at or above POLYWOOD®. Cheaper poly furniture exists, but it usually means thinner lumber and shorter warranties. We'd rather point you to better value than a lower sticker price: heavier build, 20-year hardware coverage, assembled delivery.
Is all poly lumber furniture the same as POLYWOOD®?
No. POLYWOOD® is a specific brand made by Poly-Wood, LLC. "Poly lumber" or "HDPE furniture" is the material category. Finch furniture is made from the same class of HDPE poly lumber but is a separate, unaffiliated brand.
How long does Finch poly furniture last?
With basic rinsing and cleaning, decades — Finch backs it with a 20-year residential and 5-year commercial warranty.
