Inside All Things Cedar: Real Wood Furniture for Every Corner of the Yard

Not every backyard calls for recycled poly — sometimes you want the real thing. All Things Cedar has been our go-to for genuine wood furniture and garden pieces, and it covers a lot more ground than most people expect. Here's a closer look.

Real Red Cedar, Naturally Built for the Outdoors

All Things Cedar builds with red cedar, a wood species that's naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects without needing chemical treatment. That's what makes it a longtime favorite for outdoor furniture — it holds up to the elements on its own, and it ages into a warm, silvery patina if left unfinished, or keeps its honey-brown tone with an occasional coat of sealant.

Far More Than Chairs

Most people think of Adirondack chairs first, and All Things Cedar makes plenty of those — but the lineup goes well beyond seating. Their benches range from simple backless accent pieces to full market and tree benches, and their garden structures collection includes arbors, planters, and pergola-style porch swing stands — pieces that add real structure to a yard, not just a place to sit.

Built with Traditional Joinery

Unlike molded poly furniture, All Things Cedar pieces are constructed the old-fashioned way — cut, joined, and fastened as real lumber. That means visible wood grain, actual mortise-and-tenon or screw-and-dowel joinery, and a level of craftsmanship that reads as handmade rather than manufactured. It's a different aesthetic than poly, and for a lot of customers, that's exactly the point.

Low-Maintenance, Not No-Maintenance

Red cedar doesn't need much, but "doesn't need much" isn't the same as "needs nothing." A yearly cleaning and an occasional coat of sealant or stain will keep the color from fully graying out, especially in sunnier climates. Left alone, it'll still hold up structurally — it'll just take on that classic weathered cedar look over time, which plenty of people prefer anyway.

A Good Match for Garden-Forward Yards

Because the line includes planters, arbors, and structural pieces alongside furniture, All Things Cedar tends to appeal most to customers building out a garden or landscaped space rather than just furnishing a deck. If your backyard project involves more than seating — a garden bed border, a shaded arbor, a potting station — it's worth browsing the full lineup rather than just the chairs.

Why We Carry It

We keep All Things Cedar in the catalog because it fills a real gap — customers who want genuine wood character, not a poly alternative, and who are often furnishing more than just a porch. It's a different kind of durability than our recycled poly lines, but it's proven and it looks the part.
