Recycled Comfort

Espresso Classic Dining Set by EON

Many homeowners want the look of real wood furniture, but without the upkeep associated with it. Faux-wood furniture is rising in popularity and can easily pass as the real deal. Some manufacturers (like Poly-Wood) use raw recycled materials, such as milk jugs laundry detergent bottles, to create comfortable and green furniture. Others (like EON) use a highly engineered polymer to resemble the feel and look of natural wood.

The EON Classic Dining set truly delivers the look of natural wood without the hassles of annual maintenance. Beautifully designed and generously proportioned, this Classic Dining set is the perfect addition to any outdoor living space. The set includes a 42-inch x 72-inch table that comfortably seats 6 and is available in Teak and Espresso (pictured above).

The Chippendale Dining Chair from Poly-Wood

Inspired by 18th century design, the new Chippendale dining chair by Poly-Wood features the fine, intricate details of the classic Chippendale style. The Chippendale dining chair pairs a unique, terraced lattice back with a curve, for a more comfortable and relaxing feel. The Chippendale chair is available in six traditional colors and in three different heights: dining, counter and bar.

Quality Flames

PIVOT MODEL Fire Pit Safety Screen from Aspen Industries

Aspen Industries takes extreme pride in the quality of their hearth and firepit products. Their Master Flame gas log brand is known for its realistic look and full flames while their Royal Series of gas coal effect burners are perfect for homeowners with smaller fireplaces. Here are a couple of products from Aspen Industries to check out:

For round-shaped pits, this Master Flame brand screen covers and prevents sparks and embers from flying out of the firepit, even in windy conditions. Both ends of the “clam shell” designed screen pivot open, allowing access to tend the fire on either end. Each screen is made to order and comes in sizes from 24 inches to 80 inches in diameter.

MASTER FLAME ELITE® Triple Burner Gas Log System from Aspen Industries

Master Flame’s sandless, straight port injection triple burner system (with baffling and diverters) provides the liveliest and most natural-looking flame and burn–noticeably superior to grate/burner/sand/pan log sets. The elevated back log supports, combined with the forward, rear and ember pan burners, give Elite gas log sets a brighter, fuller flame and the most natural wood-burning appearance available.
