Briar Hill Backgrounder

Briar Hill Rustic Furniture is a locally owned manufacturing facility of white cedar log furniture located near Leeper, a small community in northwestern Pennsylvania. Briar Hill is nestled midway between scenic Allegheny National Forest and Cook Forest State Park. The surroundings have inspired the rustic design of Briar Hill’s beautiful furniture.

As one of the area’s unique finds, known to the tourists as “the place with the big swing”, Briar Hill offers its customers a rare opportunity of customizing their homes both inside and out. With both interior and exterior finishes and fabric selections to choose from, Briar Hill’s customers get furniture that truly expresses their own style and taste.

Although Briar Hill came into existence as a retail business, it has expanded throughout the years to accommodate a nationwide need for log furniture. Briar Hill has become known throughout its’ industry for its’ superior quality products; and thus, its’ wholesale market is constantly expanding.

Briar Hill uses Michigan white cedar almost exclusively in its’ furniture because of its resistance to rot and insects. These features, combined with the natural strength of a log, ensure the many years of lasting durability and beauty of each piece. Beautiful Pennsylvania white pine is used for table and bench tops. Since pine compliments the clear, creamy white texture of white cedar, they are a perfect match.

For Briar Hill’s Gardenbrooke Classic and Cedarbrooke Collections, a quality exterior finish with sunscreen is recommended. Exterior stains provide excellent protection with little maintenance. Follow the manufacture’s instructions for best results. Or, you may choose to let nature finish your outdoor furniture. In time, it will turn a beautiful silver-gray.

Briar Hill’s Lodgebrooke Collection is finished with an interior hand-rubbed stain before lacquer is applied. There is a wide range of colors to choose from. Or, you may prefer the natural honey hue that white cedar develops indoors with just lacquer applied.

The quality and care put into each piece of Briar Hill Rustic Furniture will make you proud to display it in your home. From decks, patios, and formal garden settings to dining rooms, dens, living rooms, and bedrooms, our selection of finishes and fabrics ensure a very customized, personal look. Briar Hill Rustic Furniture will, indeed, add comfort, warmth, and charm to any home.
