FAQs:
Q: Does POLYWOOD furniture come preassembled?
A: Some items arrive fully assembled, while others are designed for easy at-home assembly. To check whether an item requires assembly, review the Product Details section on the product's individual page.
Q: Where can I find assembly instructions?
A: For products that require assembly, look for the Assembly Instructions link below the dimensional drawing. This link will redirect you to a page where you can download a digital copy of full assembly instructions for the item, if applicable.
