Polywood holds up very well:

Poly wood is essentially plastic? We have Adirondack chairs in the material I believe. They are strong and sturdy and still look new years later. Not very warm though. Unsure on if would be good for a table…

Yes, Polywood is recycled plastic. A friend has a white P’wood wood-grain picnic table on his deck (beachfront, Gulf of Mexico) that looks great after years of sun, salt & storms.

Why not use teak it stands up on boat decks pretty sur eit can handle Vancouver rain.

Never said I was against teak at all. I’ve been reading reviews for a table at Crate & Barrel and one at Article and people talk of them not weathering well and peeling and staining. When I then looked at a few other tables of various varieties comments were similar. I’m also not super interested in something that requires a lot of maintenance.
