About TenderTote

Updated on

TenderTote publishes carefully researched buying guides, so you can compare products and pick one with confidence.

Right now our guides focus on porch and patio seating, from porch swings and patio sets to Adirondack chairs and outdoor rockers, and we add new guides over time.

You don't need a furniture store's vocabulary. We explain the terms that matter, like weight rating, seat depth and poly lumber, in plain words.

What we cover right now

Our guides cover porch swings, patio and bistro sets, Adirondack chairs, outdoor rocking chairs and gliders, and set-up and care guides, from brands like VINGLI, SERWALL and POLYWOOD. We compare models side by side so you can see the trade-offs.

What we do

We read the product details, specs and maker information for every piece we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using one.

Then we turn it all into plain guides, side-by-side comparisons and clear picks, written in everyday words. You can read more on our How we research page.

What we don't do

We don't sell furniture, and no brand pays us to rank its products.

TenderTote is an independent site. We aren't affiliated with VINGLI, SERWALL, POLYWOOD or any other maker.

We don't claim to have tested every product ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
