When someone refers to deep-seated, what does that mean?
When we ask if you are looking for deep seating, it is typically not-for-dining and comfortable for an outdoor living area, same as indoor family room seating.
What is the typical depth of foam filler in cushions for deep seated furniture?
Our deep seating items typically have a cushion depth of 4-6 inches, with an open cell foam filler that allows the cushion to drain properly and dry quickly.
Sectionals or standalone chairs – what are some of your favorite brands?
Our sectionals from Kettler are popular. We also have the Palma collection which is a rattan weave and Timber that is aluminum frame. For standalone chairs, the Woodard Cortland is my favorite comfort wise, while the Telescope Leeward is a very close second.

Are you an Adirondack, rocker or deep-seated type of person?
Adirondack? Rocker? Deep Seating? Depends on the application, but a swivel rocking deep seating chair is the way to go!
Is there a color that’s more popular than others?
The most popular color is the one that best goes with your outdoor surroundings and your home; it’s like an extension of your indoors. With more and more people enjoying time outside on their patios and creating beautiful outdoor living spaces, it seems the trend has been gray with a pop of color in pillows or an umbrella!
