Kauffman Lawn Furniture - something for everyone
By Jennifer Kneuss
If you are looking for a comprehensive collection of beautiful, durable, and functional outdoor lawn furniture, look no further than Kauffman Lawn Furniture. Owners David and Dorothy Kauffman have invested a great deal of time and effort over the past 15 years to provide customers with a wide variety of offerings for outdoor living needs.
David Kauffman is eager to show his visitors around both the indoor and outdoor display areas. “Our wood products can be stained, painted, or provided without a finish. I would say that 90 percent of our furniture goes out of here unfinished. But we also offer about 20 different very bright colors, for those who like that look,” as evidenced by a long row of Adirondack chairs, each painted in a different, brilliant color for a whimsical look. Gazebos, pergolas and archways line the walkways, and are available in a tremendously varied selection of styles.
“We have children’s play sets, as well as storage barns, and even garages,” exclaimed Kauffman. “We also offer log cabins and children’s playhouses. We can ship our products anywhere in the country. In the past, we’ve had customers from Michigan and Pennsylvania, and as far as New York City, Texas, the Carolinas, Louisiana, and California.”
Kauffman pointed out that visitors can often find things at his store that they have not seen anywhere else, and are eager to have the pieces transported to their own homes. “They all include easy to assemble directions, so you can assemble it all by yourself,” he added.
He is particularly proud of his full line of picnic tables, a longtime staple in outdoor furniture. “We have a full line of wooden and treated picnic tables – a huge selection. We also have them made from recycled plastics. They last a long, long time.” Tables come in octagon, oval, oblong, and traditional rectangle shapes.
Gliders, porch swings, wicker furniture, hickory porch rockers and Adirondack chairs never seem to fall out of favor, either. Customers can recreate long-ago memories of the lazy summer afternoons of their childhood where they swung contentedly in their own backyards, when they take home one of the Kauffman pieces, including a beautiful cypress wood rocking glider.
Today’s children enjoy the rocking horses, toy chests, and miniature hickory rockers and children’s table sets, as well as the sturdy and ever-popular Berlin Flyer wagons, made in nearby Berlin, Ohio. Swing sets come in every possible combination, and may include sandboxes, telescopes, slides, rock climbing walls, trapeze bars, turbo slides, and other special touches. Children are also delighted by the themed play sets – ships, Noah’s Ark, monster trucks, trains, and tractor and wagon combos.
These are all displayed in the Kauffman show areas, along with handmade baskets, Lazy Susans, landscaping accessories, and birdhouses. Decorative lighthouses, Dutch windmills, gully bridges, wooden wheelbarrows and wishing wells, concrete statuary, dog houses, rabbit pens, and fire pits are also available in various styles and colors. A complete line of extremely durable poly lumber furniture is a specialty offering at Kauffman Lawn Furniture, too. There are patio sets, chaise lounges and standard chairs, Adirondacks, coffee tables, footstools, end tables, rockers, gliders, benches, and outdoor bar sets in many different color selections.
“We have a quality product, quality of service, and a large selection,” stated Kauffman.
That is a very hard combination to beat, as a long line of satisfied customers can confirm.
