Landfair Furniture Adds Woodard Outdoor Furniture



Landfair Furniture is proud to add Woodard, an outdoor furniture line, to our list of vendors. For over five years we have enjoyed Woodard furniture in our backyard. The table chairs, and lounge look as nice today as the day we brought them home. To keep it looking nice, we cover it in the winter and occasionally wipe off the top.

For over 140 years Woodard outdoor furniture has earned a reputation as the epitome of elegance and class. Woodard is described as the premier innovator of casual outdoor furniture through an exceptional blend of design and craftsmanship. Their furnishings are created with the unparalleled standards established by founder Lyman Woodard.

Each piece of Woodard wrought iron furniture is hand crafted using the best wrought iron available.

Their casual aluminum furniture combines innovative design, superior materials and painstaking construction. Woodard says they only use the heaviest, purist and strongest aluminum extrusions available, surpassing the toughest of industry standards.

Woodards wicker line, All Seasons Outdoor Wicker is hand woven and made from a strong polyester yarn core with a scratch resistant PVC solution dyed outer wrap. The frame on each piece is guaranteed to remain rust free, and each piece is promoted to withstand the harsh outdoor elements.

We've been looking for an outdoor line. Funny, we only needed to look in our backyard.

Cymax Stores: The Little Online Furniture Shop That Could

Even as late as 2003 -- years after Amazon.com and other e-tailers started shipping consumer goods all over the world -- Canada was still far behind in its e-commerce evolution. Most Canadians didn't buy their furniture online. That gave Fasihi, a 33-year-old Iranian immigrant, an idea.
