The Outdoor Patio Set From Costco That Has Over 5 Thousand 5-Star Reviews

Finding home and garden deals at Costco is easier than you may think, as the membership big-box retailer offers many different kinds of outdoor furniture products. One such product that has more than 5,300 five-star customer reviews on the Costco website is the Polywood Portside Outdoor Patio Adirondack Set for $580. This set includes two Adirondack chairs and a small table.

Although these chairs are primarily made for outdoor usage, they're available in several colors that may spark some ideas for using them indoors and matching a color scheme you have in a particular room. Some people might use these chairs inside a bedroom to create a space for reading, thanks to the comfortable design they offer. Because of the angled back support and the large seat, you'll sit naturally with an even weight distribution when using them, making it comfortable to sit and read for long periods of time.

Although indoor and outdoor furniture trends come and go in different years, purchasing Adirondack chairs and using them outdoors or indoors can give you a design feature that maintains its style and remains appealing over long periods of time. Adding a throw or pillows to these chairs can make the space even cozier and more stylish, especially when using them indoors for a reading nook. Some people choose to replace overstuffed chairs indoors with the Adirondack design to give the space clean lines while making it feel lighter.

The secret to choosing an Adirondack chair that's comfortable to sit in is finding one that supports you with a back section that doesn't have too much of an angle. Otherwise, it could lead to discomfort. Costco's Polywood Adirondack set includes a contoured seat and a rolled, waterfall design at the front that won't pinch your legs. Much of the Costco customer feedback said these chairs have a comfortable design for sitting indoors or outdoors. "The perfect seating angle and rolled slat design at the front of the seat combine to create the most comfortable Adirondack chair that I have found," one person said.

Because most of the Costco reviewers chose to deploy the furniture outdoors, the ability to easily maintain it represents a key advantage. One consumer noted that they previously owned wood Adirondack chairs that required regular sanding and staining. These Polywood seats consist of high-density polyethylene recycled plastic and only require occasional wiping down or spraying with water to keep them clean, one reviewer said.

Customers have to assemble the chairs themselves, but many Costco reviewers said they had an easy time with it. One such person said assembly required about 75 minutes for the set when working alone, while for others the process went faster. The chairs resist peeling, cracking, or chipping, and they include a 20-year warranty. Many reviewers expressed that they expect the product to have a long lifespan, whether using them indoors or exposing them to the weather outdoors, because of the quality of the materials.

Only a small percentage of Costco reviewers gave the Polywood Adirondack chair set one- or two-star reviews. Most of the negative reviews focused on errors in the manufacturing process that made the DIY assembly a significant hassle or impossible. Some complained about misaligned predrilled holes that made it difficult to add the screws and align the pieces properly during DIY work. "Assembly required routing and drilling to get pieces to sit flush and align correctly," one post said. "I suppose it's a nice enough piece now, but I wasn't signing up for that much assembly and finishing work when I purchased [it]."

This set is available through Costco in five different colors (red, gray, brown, white, and black). However, one person said the brown color shown in the product photos did not match the actual materials when the chairs arrived. "Instead, the real color is a dark, muddy, reddish brown," the individual wrote. When ordering the product through Costco, you're limited to those five colors. If you want more colors, such as red, green, orange, or yellow, you can order a similar set directly from the Polywood website, but you'll likely have to pay significantly more than the cost through Costco's website.
