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.
Originally a seasonal
business, Briar Hill now employs 8 full-time and several seasonal
employees to maintain production of the constant demand for its’ furniture.
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.
Outdoor furniture should be
a once-in-a-lifetime investment. With minimal care and maintenance, you
can relax and enjoy the beautiful outdoors instead of refinishing your
outdoor furniture.
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
polyurethane 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 polyurethane 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
