About Us

I am proud to come from humble beginnings in a small countryside village in the Molise region of Italy. My family later legally immigrated to the United States, settling in the Akron, Ohio area, where we have built a reputation for our strong work ethic and contributions to the community through various businesses. Living just 45 minutes from the picturesque Amish Country, I was fortunate to be inspired by some of the most talented craftsmen in the region. This area holds a special place in my heart, and I still visit it regularly to experience the calming sense of home it provides.

In 2007, I relocated to Florida and most recently to the vibrant Margaritaville/Latitude community in Daytona Beach, where the lifestyle is reminiscent of Key West and inspired by Jimmy Buffett. Over time, I recognized a growing need for high-quality, durable, low-maintenance outdoor furniture that combines comfort and style. Driven by this vision, I dedicated over a year to traveling, researching, and collaborating with talented craftsmen to create furniture that meets these standards and exceeds expectations.

Our Products:

We specialize in Polywood furniture, often referred to as Adirondack seating. While it may appear similar to other outdoor furniture at first glance, our products stand out due to their craftsmanship, innovative designs, and thoughtful features. Every piece is:

  • Handcrafted in the USA: Each item is meticulously handmade per customer order, ensuring unmatched quality.
  • Craftsman-Approved: Collaborating with experienced Amish craftsmen, we deliver heirloom-quality pieces that last a lifetime.
  • Customizable: Choose from endless color options, combinations, and designs to create a unique look tailored to your outdoor space.

Key Features:

  • Hidden Screws in Seat Areas: A hallmark of our designs, offering a clean and comfortable seating experience.
  • Marine-Grade Hardware: Stainless steel components ensure longevity and resistance to rust.
  • Comfort-First Design: Rounded seat fronts reduce pressure on the legs, and seats are crafted for easy entry and exit.
  • Poly Lumber: Our furniture won’t splinter, rot, or peel, requiring no painting or sealing. It’s resistant to the elements and can be left outdoors year-round.

Low-Maintenance & Durable:

Cleaning is effortless with warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush. For tougher stains, a pressure washer may be used. Larger pieces are heavy enough to withstand inclement weather, though we recommend laying down gliders during heavy winds to prevent tipping.

Ordering & Delivery:

All items are made on a special-order basis, ensuring each piece is tailored to your specifications. The typical turnaround time is 4–8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your order. Rest assured, every effort is made to deliver your furniture promptly while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

I am so happy with my purchases. It is the best carefree outdoor lanai furniture! The fact that I was able to customize everything gave me the cheerful, Key West look that I wanted. It makes me smile. Marie is a sweetheart to work with !

We LOVE our new furniture, and Jeff can’t wait to watch some football out on the patio when it gets cooler. Maria is so easy to work with! She listens and at the same time provides recommendations so that you arrive at a furniture set that looks beautiful and just like what you were picturing. She is very good at helping two people with different ideas come to a compromise that makes everyone happy! The whole experience was awesome and now that we have the furniture, we are thrilled with the quality, look and feel! Maria has samples of many of her items available on her back patio. Make an appointment with her and go check her items out! Maria includes delivery and even comes out after to make sure everything was delivered and in good shape and then cleans it for you so that you can enjoy immediately! Thank you, Maria!

After shopping around, visiting another local custom store, we found that everything the Great Outdoors had to offer was just what we were looking for. We supplied the measurements for a Buffet... Could not be happier, the price was comparable, actually less and the craftsmanship is top notch; heavy no doubt. Have received so many compliments. Thank you.
