For 2010, Summer Classics Furniture and Telescope Casual Furniture introduced several new lines and pieces to supplement  already extensive outdoor furniture collections. Samples of the new pieces are in each of the showrooms on Floor 10 of Building 2 WestWing, and still more are on their way.

New products for Summer Classics range from outdoor rugs to new dining and resort-style lounge groups, while Telescope expanded its marine-grade polymer seating and outdoor wicker options.

“I love the new outdoor rugs in Summer Classics,” says showroom manager Sandra Terry. “They have the appearance of indoor rugs but the durability of  outdoor rugs – which is something buyers frequently want for their customers.”

Floors are open Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. for buyers.
