Wood Furniture
With today's trend back to "natural" products, wood outdoor
furniture is undergoing a revival. It's long-lasting, ideal for
the garden look, and available in a tremendous variety of styles
and types of wood. No longer limited to clunky redwood sets and
splintery pine picnic tables, among the choices in wood are
traditional front porch rockers, classic garden benches, dining
sets galore, homey Adirondack chairs, multiposition chaises as
well as tables of every size and shape. The cost of the finished
product reflects the type and grade of wood used, the design,
the amount and complexity of the labor involved, the joinery,
the hardware, and the weight. The highest quality products often
feature mortise and tenon joints, wood dowels and brass or
stainless steel hardware. Manufacturers that Lowery's carry
