They come in the same price range of around $200 but the POLYWOOD is slightly more expensive and their brand is much more established. It is difficult to compare their qualities without putting it to real-life tests, so I bought the Member&#8217;s Mark from Sam&#8217;s Club and the POLYWOOD from Amazon to give them a try. I&#8217;ve used both of them in my backyard for about a year, and here are some key differences between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-2.jpeg 1220w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-2-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both chairs have a classic Adirondack design with wide armrests and a high backrest. However, the Member&#8217;s Mark is significantly bigger and it even comes with a slide-out cup holder. It also has a more rustic look with a wood-like texture. POLYWOOD chair has a more refined look, with smoother edges and a sleeker design. It is much more portable, not just because of its smaller size but also because it can be folded flat for easy storage and transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner<\/strong>: POLYWOOD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-1.jpeg 1220w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adirondack-chair-1-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Member&#8217;s Mark chair is made of polystyrene, while the POLYWOOD chair is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lumber. Polystyrene is a type of UV-protected and weather-resistant plastic, while HDPE is a durable and weather-resistant plastic lumber that is made from recycled materials. While both materials are resistant to weather and outdoor elements, HDPE is generally considered more durable and longer-lasting than polystyrene. It can endure many types of harsh weather and environmental stressors. I used both of them for about a year; While the Member&#8217;s Mark color is slightly fading away, the POLYWOOD still looks like new. I left them outside all the time without any cover, even during winter storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner<\/strong>: POLYWOOD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both chairs are designed to be low-maintenance and easy to clean. The POLYWOOD chair requires minimal upkeep, as it is resistant to stains, scratches, and corrosive substances. The Member&#8217;s Mark chair is also easy to clean, but may require a bit more maintenance over time due to its polystyrene material, especially if you want to keep its original color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winner<\/strong>: POLYWOOD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, both the Member&#8217;s Mark Adirondack Chair and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0085U2NJS?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=twall-20&amp;linkId=4eee7331f010db62aa50864e73795aa5&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">POLYWOOD Classic Folding Adirondack<\/a> have their own unique features and benefits. The Member&#8217;s Mark chair is a more affordable option that is made of polystyrene, while the POLYWOOD chair is made of high-density polyethylene lumber and has a more refined design. The Member&#8217;s Mark chair is generally less expensive than the POLYWOOD chair, making it a more budget-friendly option for those looking for an Adirondack chair. I bought both of them on sale but the price difference was still about $40-$50. The POLYWOOD is the clear winner but if you want to save some money, the Member&#8217;s Mark is not a bad choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member&#8217;s Mark Adirondack Chair and the POLYWOOD AD5030GY Classic Folding Adirondack are both popular options when it comes to outdoor seating.
