Thomasville Furniture Industry’s first outdoor furniture collections will debut at The Home Depot, both in stores and online, beginning this month.
       
The outdoor furniture line includes two collections: Nature’s Retreat, crafted of Forest Stewardship Council -certified eucalyptus and all-weather wicker; and Summer Silhouette, made of powder-coated aluminum. Both collections include sets and separates of dining, deep seating and occasional pieces designed for luxurious yet practical outdoor living.
       
“The Thomasville brand is a trusted source for design, quality and value,” said President Ed Teplitz. “Our entry into outdoor furniture will expand our portfolio of products. With the introduction of these stylish collections, Thomasville and The Home Depot are well positioned to meet rising consumer demand for comfortable and inviting outdoor living environments.”
       
The outdoor collections by Thomasville will be available exclusively at The Home Depot and homedepot.com, and will be supported by advertising, consumer literature, in-store signage and a dedicated Web site.
       
“The Home Depot is a valued brand extension partner for Thomasville,” Teplitz said. “Over the past seven years, the success of our cabinetry and hardwood flooring programs has allowed our brand to reach customers through an additional 1,900+ retail doors. We are excited to be able to provide this kind of accessibility for our first outdoor furniture offerings as well.”
