Highwood synthetic wood is truly "Nature"s Closest Rival" and is the world’s most realistic alternative to wood. This unique, ultra-low maintenance material has been used extensively for almost 10 years by major theme-parks across the world wherever the look of natural wood WITHOUT the maintenance was needed. While other "poly" or "HDPE" materials can have a soft, waxy and plastic appearance/texture, Highwood features premium "natureTEX" embossed surfaces that are harder and more appealing to the touch. The rich wood-grain colors, some of which feature grain like streaking, run to the core of the material…are extremely fade resistant and a proven performer in all climates. There is no wood-fiber content in these eco-friendly, recyclable products (it is not a "composite") and the material will not absorb moisture. Highwood USA manufactures the material (and the products are hand crafted/assembled) in Pennsylvania-providing you with a 100% Made in the USA product that they stand behind with pride. Our extremely popular folding and reclining Hamilton adirondack chair has been improved again this season, with hidden hardware in many connections to give a cleaner look. The durable wood-tone colors will look great season after season with a simple wash down each spring with warm soapy water. This item is a part of the Highwood "Adirondack Collection" which features the Hamilton Chair in adult, king, or child sizes, a classic Westport adirondack chair, ottoman, side table, a removable connecting table and an innovative laptop/reading desk.
