Today, we truly could not imagine AdenWorks without her. She turns countless customers’ dreams into realities every day. How does she do it? Let’s imagine that you have a customer that wants something very specific. Give Aynsley a call! She can work one-on-one with you to create a piece to match your client’s specifications.

It is an awesome process to watch. Whether Aynsley is creating a new piece for AdenWorks’ line or working with a client on a specialty item, her artistic eye is impeccable. She begins each piece with a sketch. The drawings are so incredible, I have many times mistaken them for photographs.

While she is sketching, she always keeps the customers’ comfort in mind. Whatever it is, a chair, table or swing, the client is continually at the forefront. Aynsley asks herself a slew of questions in order to see from the client’s perspective. Who would buy this piece? Where would they put it? Is it best in a home, hotel, ranch or cabin? How often would this piece be used? What is this client’s overall style? Is it an accent piece or a focal point for a room? Is this ideal for indoors, outdoors, or both?  

This is only a small taste of what goes into designing a piece of teak furniture, and at AdenWorks, we feel blessed to have such a talented artist on our team!   

However, I am willing to bet, you won’t spending your Labor Day sitting by the pool eating burgers and hotdogs. Chances are, if you’re a rustic furniture store, you are preparing to sell, sell, sell this coming Labor Day weekend.

With your customers off of work and many attempting to work on the home, these holidays are precious selling days for stores. We know it’s hard to get up when everyone else is sleeping in, but let’s remember what these long weekends can do for sales. When the customers are shopping, you’re seeing the profits, and I think that will get most anyone out of bed with a smile!

As you prepare for the weekend, keep in mind that after pieces are sold off your floor, you will need to restock. That’s where AdenWorks comes in. We are here for all of your restocking needs. Whether you need a new dining room set or an outdoor sitting area, give us a call so we can help get your floor ready for fall.

Also, after Labor Day, the weather begins to cool, and families get back into the school-groove. With schedules returning to normal, people will no doubt be refocusing attention on their home décor. This is the ideal time for them to be captivated by what you have to offer. Try out some new pieces and see how your creativity can inspire creativity in your customers.

And while you’re selling and inspiring creativity, be sure to enjoy your Labor Day!

Luckily, our unique teak furnishings aren’t ever surprised by changes in the weather. From Michigan to

Is your storefront in the mountains, on a beach, in a bustling city, in a quiet town, near a desert, in the plains or on a ranch? Then teakwood is for you!

I know it may be hard to believe, but our furnishings truly are a match for any climate. Teakwood can withstand the harshest or calmest of weather. Moreover, all of the teak we use is recycled. What does that mean? It means all of our teak has been used in the past. Some of the plows, ox carts and wagon wheels were in use for generations before we even laid eyes on it. For you, this means you can tout your furniture as a timeless piece that will surely be in use for generations to come.

Allow your customers to imagine their great grandkids enjoying the very table that they served Thanksgiving dinner on. Purchasing AdenWorks’ teak for your store’s floor means adding something your competitors don’t have: a story. Let our recycled pieces give your storefront an edge on the furniture market, and make this fall your best ever!

Yes, we are ‘going green,’ and have been for the past ten years. Before going green was a fad and used as an advertising scam, AdenWorks was practicing sustainability. We didn’t start going green because it was popular or because we had to. We went green because we care: about you, about our world.

How do we do it? First and foremost, our teak is all recycled. This means that we implement wagon wheels, ox carts, and plows in our designs. AdenWorks is not chopping down trees and uselessly destroying natural landscapes. We utilize teak that has been in use by farmers for generations. Why should we use new teakwood when the old is more durable, has more character and has its own story to tell?

Using recycled teak is obviously the forefront of our sustainability program. Another way we are “going green” lies in our use of leathers. Our leathers and other hides are byproducts of the food industry. It might make you squeamish to think about food byproduct, but it makes us excited! We have the beauty of cowhides without needlessly stealing from the environment.

But how else are we green? For our hand-staining, our craftsmen use eco-friendly rags. Also, have you ordered from us lately? We try to save paper any way we can, and emailing your invoice is one way we keep from being wasteful. As I write this blog post, the lights in my office are turned off to save energy. Who needs to use energy when the natural light is flooding in?

We are always looking decrease our impact on the environment. Whether its as major as using recycled teak and eco-friendly staining procedures or as simple as emailing an invoice, AdenWorks promises to maintain a high code of environmentally-friendly ethics.

When you buy our teak furniture, you can rest assured that not only are you receiving quality furniture, but you are helping to maintain nature’s beauty.

So, now you know what’s been hot with all of our wonderful customers. We hope that this information helps you as you prepare for the fall. As always, if you need help deciding on which pieces to put on your showroom floor, please feel free to contact us.

Before we get into this summer’s winner, let’s start with the runner up. This year our runner up is a very well-known and highly appreciated styled known for its distinct lines and exaggerated pitch. This summer’s runner up is our Adirondack Garden Chair. This is a beautiful rugged twist on the traditional styled Adirondack chair. This piece is composed of recycled teak wood and plow handles to create one-of-a-kind pieces, each with their own distinct personality. The beauty of this chair is appreciated because of the multiple pieces of teak wood used to compose the piece. The wood grain and color variations change from each piece of wood.  Not only do we offer this beautiful chair, but we also have a Adirondack Bench which compliments the Adirondack Garden Chair quite nicely. We had a hard time keeping these pieces in stock this summer. Every time we got another shipment in, they were sold almost immediately.

 

All teak is made equal… right? Wrong! All teak is not made equal, and at AdenWorks, we have set out to offer you the highest quality, most stunning pieces in the industry.

Here is how we do it:

First, all of our teak arrives to our Dallas-based warehouse unfinished So, it hasn’t been stained. This process allows us a strict quality control, something on which we pride ourselves.

After arriving, our craftsmen hand-sand and hand-stain each piece. We debuted our custom stain in January of 2010, and for those of you who have not tried the new stain on your floor, this fall is your ideal time!

Having been in the furniture business for over ten years, AdenWorks is well-versed in the art of staining. Our in-house designer and craftsmen joined forces to develop a stain that highlights the natural elements of teak. Our stain emphasizes teak’s fluid grain along with its rich golds, browns, reds and blacks.

After the stain is applied, it’s time to seal the piece. If you order a piece for the outdoors, our craftsmen use a dual coat of polyurethane to protect the piece from the elements.

If your piece is for the home, you have two options in polyurethane. One look offers a matte, more rustic feel, while the other provides a bit more sheen to the furniture.

Whatever your needs, AdenWorks is here to make your floor the best it can be. Try out the new stain, you and your customers won’t be disappointed!

Whether it’s watching the leaves change or a beautiful sunset, indoor and outdoor furnishings are an integral part of the home for people across the United States. And we know that you strive to provide customers with the highest quality furnishings, that’s why they come back to you year after year.

How about getting your store fall-ready with a few items that will surely catch your customers’ eyes? Consider the Cattleman’s Bench; whether you choose the large or small size, this piece is an attention grabber. A functional piece for the indoors or outdoors, this bench sparks design creativity in all who see it.

Next, help your customers envision themselves enjoying a brisk fall morning from a fresh, new breakfast room setting. Try out one of our most popular options, the Wind River Table paired with Diamond Back Side Chair.

Each piece that reaches your floor will be custom stained by hand in our Dallas-based warehouse. With our strict quality control, you know that all furniture drop-shipped to your clients will be in top condition.

If you have not yet purchased a piece with our custom stain for your store, fall is an ideal time to introduce it. Teak’s rich reds, blacks, browns and golds highlighted by our stain will add a unique flare to your floor, differentiating you from the rest.

Give us a call today, and together we can help create beautiful settings that your customers can easily imagine gracing their homes for years to come.
