Best Manufacturers

The reason we have selected the manufacturers we carry is because they are the best at what they do whether the set is $500 or $5000. They are honest, reliable, very quality conscious and they take care of any problems.

The best way to see all of your options is to come into our store. What we have in stock you can get right away. We do lots of special orders and our very experienced and professional sales people can help you find the perfect set. The best manufacturer for $2500 patio sets may not be the best value if you want to spend $600. We can advise you as to who is the best in your price range for the style you want.

We have set up links to several manufactures for you to see a full array of styles. It's hard to really judge the fabrics without seeing them in person.

Telescope Casual - http://www.telescopecasual.com
Our largest supplier of aluminum frame casual furniture. They also make our beach chair and wood folding director chair.

  • Telescope Casual is still family owned and operated after over 100 years in business. (Their first product was a folding wood cot for World War I)
  • Telescope Casual is our most affordable manufacturer of slings. The Gardenella group is our least expensive, followed by the Primera and Cape May groups. (Many joints are tack welded or riveted instead of fully welded)
  • We have a huge in-stock selection of table sizes, up to 90" oval. We have 42" & 48" round non-glass Werzalit too.
  • Average "life-span" for slings is 7 years. We sell lots of replacement slings for the thousands of Telescope Casual chairs we've sold over the years. The frame usually lasts at least twice as long as the sling. A new sling costs about $45.00.
  • Many of their styles are stackable–this is very important to customers with limited storage space. Tables are "ready-to-assemble" and will flatten.
  • Telescope Casual has the shortest special order time for their in-stock styles.
  • The Cape May group has a large selection of outdoor cushion pieces.
  • Many bar height groups to choose from.
  • Our quickest shipper on Special Orders

Homecrest - http://www.homecrest.com
Manufacturer of the highest quality steel patio furniture for over 50 years, (Homecrest also makes aluminum, but most of the Homecrest products we sell are steel)

  • Excellent choice for people who live in windy places or people with tall and/or heavy family & friends.
  • Steel may rust if the finish deteriorates (e.g. if left outside).
  • Steel requires some maintenance, but is stronger and more durable than aluminum. We've had people buy cushions for 23 year old chairs!
  • Steel coil springs make a great swivel rocker chair–strong & sturdy.
  • Homecrest slings don't slide into a track like aluminum style slings. They are sewn into a "glove" and slide over the frame. This prevents the paint from being scratched when chairs bump into table rims. (Table rims are protected by a rubber coating too)
  • Great customer service–Homecrest can get parts and cushions for 20-year-old chairs!
  • Some items require assembly. (We will assemble Homecrest products free of charge, but require 1-2 days.)
