What is polystyrene?

. . . . . .

Polystyrene is a type of plastic. Lifetime Outdoor Furniture is constructed of UV-protected, high-density polystyrene.  The difference between our polyethylene products and our polystyrene products is that we can make polystyrene look and feel like real wood. Unlike real wood, the simulated polystyrene wood will not splinter, warp, or rot, and never needs to be painted or varnished. The high-density polystyrene furniture is lightweight, yet more durable than plastic commonly used for outdoor furniture. In addition, it is weather-resistant, stain resistant, and easy to clean - essential features in outdoor decor.
