Lyndale Garden & Hardware Center (Richfield, Minn.), a leading lawn and garden retailer in the Twin Cities since 1948, will offer CWI’s two Lifewood collections, the European-inspired Veranda line and the new Lifeware modular collection, starting in the 2004 season.

“Our customers are coming back to wood for casual furniture, and they want top-quality wood furniture that costs less than teak,” says Gail Kanz, buyer for Lyndale Garden. “CWI’s Lifewood collections offer a wonderful value for the price. The attractive, international designs of the Veranda collection will appeal to our customers, and they’ll also like the versatility of Lifeware.”

With its exclusive and ingenious modular design, the Lifeware cash-and-carry line includes seven SKUs (a side chair, armchair, two-seat bench, dining table, extension side table, coffee table and an end table) that connect to create 52 different configurations. The Veranda collection features clean lines and simple elegance and includes more than 30 intriguing styles of benches and armchairs, collapsible seating, loungers and deck chairs, café and dining tables, and dining sets.
