Our polywood products are difficult to separate from our real products. It is an artificial product and you will benefit from its very low maintenance. It is lightweight and splintering will not be happening. Be aware for glass work standing on polywood for a longer period as it can work as a magnifying glass to the sun leaving marks. You can maintain the polywood by using the protector to create a protective layer for stains and marks. Please read and follow the instructions for this product before applying.
