Fast Furniture Is Out

As Earth Day unfolds, one thing is clear: poolside living is getting a sustainable upgrade.

While flashy green claims and eco-tagged products flood our feeds every April, more and more consumers are starting to ask better questions — not just what something is made of, but how long it lasts. Because at the end of the day, the most sustainable pool lounger isn’t the trendiest. It’s the one you don’t have to replace next season.

At Las Olas Luxury Living, we’re seeing this shift firsthand.

Our signature durable pool loungers are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) — the same rugged material used in hard-sided coolers and whitewater kayaks. They’re BPA-free and UV-resistant, weatherproof, and stackable for easy storage. But perhaps most importantly? They’re built to last for years — not just a summer or two.

The Problem with Fast Patio Furniture

Over 9 million tons of outdoor furniture end up in landfills each year. Much of it comes from cheap, trendy products that simply aren’t made to survive the elements — or toddlers, or time.

Take it from Emily L., a Las Olas customer and mom of two in McKinney, Texas:

“I used to buy new pool furniture every couple of years. It never held up. Las Olas felt like the first brand that actually hit the sweet spot — built to last, but not outrageously priced.”

And it’s not just about durability — it’s about design that doesn’t shout “sustainable,” but quietly lives it. That’s why our loungers skip foam-filled packaging and minimize shipping waste with a modular two-piece design.

A Lounger That Lasts (and Looks Good Doing It)

Durability is the new luxury — not because it costs more, but because it means more. We're proud to be part of a rising movement toward slow goods — outdoor products that prioritize long-term use, quality materials, and accessible pricing.

As we celebrate Earth Day, we’re reminded that every small choice adds up. When you choose furniture that lasts, you’re making a statement — not just about your style, but about your values.
