We have lots of Polywood brand furniture, and love it all. We have adirondack chairs on our front porch and back deck for my wife and I. My son wanted one of his own on our back deck. This has worked out great. He is almost 6, and it fits him well, but my wife could also sit in this chair if necessary (she's 5'9"), so it looks like you could have much older kids even sit in this comfortably.
