OW Lee

Founded in Pasadena by Oddist W. Lee in 1947, O.W. Lee is one of the few casual furniture companies that still manufacture in the USA. At their 100,000 square foot facility in Ontario, California, O.W. Lee employs a workforce that's highly skilled in both state-of-the-art technologies and traditional practices such as forging, sewing, and welding. More than half of O.W. Lee's artisans have been with the company for over 10 years. The passion they bring to creating handcrafted outdoor furniture is evident in every aspect of the O.W. Lee collection at hayneedle.com.

O.W. Lee's manufacturing process involves human craftsmanship in the smallest details, yielding casual furniture of incomparable luxury and durability. The highest-quality steel and aluminum is formed into rust- and corrosion-resistant frames, whose structural integrity is backed by a 20-year manufacturer's warranty. Circumference welds and a hand-applied zinc-rich epoxy primer guard against oxidation and moisture. Custom-tailored cushions and Sunbrella outdoor fabrics provide outstanding all-weather comfort and performance. Even O.W. Lee's specially designed plastic glides last ten times longer than standard glides.

O.W. Lee's commitment to environmental sustainability has shaped numerous aspects of its manufacturing process. All of its wrought iron furniture frames are made from 87.3% recycled steel. Computer-controlled cutting not only ensures precise specifications of foam cores, fabrics, and other materials, but also reduces scrap. O.W. Lee employs recycling and energy conservation practices, including employee-initiated programs. The environmental standards upheld by O.W. Lee's California facility have been recognized with an award for environmental compliance excellence.

O.W. Lee's passion for craftsmanship is revealed in their impressive range of award-winning casual furniture collections at hayneedle.com. This is designer outdoor furniture of supreme luxury and grace, from the Spanish Baroque style of San Cristobal wrought iron to the high gothic style of Montrachet wrought aluminum. Elegant yet ultra-comfortable, the O.W. Lee furnishings at hayneedle.com are essential accessories for the contemporary patio lifestyle.
