Great wine doesn’t have to start with the oldest grape, but to ensure quality, it must come from the right soil and climate - same goes with any material to create outdoor furniture.
When our doors first opened in the late 1920’s we specialized in making our own furniture. We learned first-hand how inexpensive materials, shortcuts or inattentive craftsmanship could affect the longevity of the product and the satisfaction of our customers. And while we no longer make our own furniture, we continue to apply the knowledge of furniture making to selection we carry today.
TEAK
What wood should you use for outdoor furniture? 100 % Grade A Indonesian Teak. Extremely resilient and strong, teak makes for the perfect ingredient for patio furniture. Let it weather a silvery grey, or seal it and save the rich golden look.
ALL WEATHER WICKER
Synthetic wicker is resilient, low maintenance, and will last in any environment. Today’s brands offer both traditional and more modern styles to fit any decor idea.
ALUMINUM
No rust, no rot, no problems. Aluminum is a lightweight and corrosion-free outdoor furniture ingredient due to its great weight to strength ratio. Good aluminum furniture is further powder-coated to increase its ability to withstand nicks, scratches, and outdoor elements.
COMPOSITE
Looking for low maintenance? This is your best option. Available in variety of styles and colors, this recyclables derivative is designed to withstand all kinds of harsh weather. Composite makes use of post-consumer and post-industrial HDPE and when you are ready to throw it, it is itself 100% recyclable. What’s more responsible than that?
STAINLESS
Strong, sleek and exceptionally durable outdoor material when done right. We look for 306 / 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel that’s been powder coated for ultimate low maintenance and always delivers a clean, modern look. Today’s brands offer an extensive range of dining chairs, dining and accent tables in a stainless frame.
