“We’ve taken something that is already 200 million years old and combined it with the durability of recycled steel or rust-free aluminum frames for furniture that can withstand all the harsh damaging elements Mother Nature can dish out,” says Dwayne Cranford, who fashions comfortable, visually striking, one-of-a-kind tables, chairs, benches, bistro sets, chaise loungers and bar sets out of flagstone, jade, magma and marble.

“This is not mass produced in a factory. Each piece is handcrafted made one at a time, with no harsh chemicals and no impact on the environment during the process.” says Dwayne Cranford. “Also it does not take any harsh chemicals to maintain it, just hit it with a hose and it is done. Its worst enemy is birds.”

Stone furniture actually becomes more beautiful with time, unlike other furniture that cracks, peels, fades, etc. Clients are not going to be back in five years to replace their furniture, they are going to be adding pieces to their collections. Stone furniture integrates easily into landscapes and cityscapes without intruding on the surrounding beauty. Environmentally friendly stone furniture won't end up in the landfills, instead it can be handed down as an heirloom for the next generation.

For customers concerned about the carbon footprint of transporting stone furniture to their home from Colorado, Jill Cranford notes, “Any furniture you buy requires shipping, but ours isn’t coming from overseas. And because stone furniture lasts for generations, it needs to be shipped just once. In addition, no vinyl, plastic or foam rubber goes into stone furniture and it doesn’t need plastic or canvas covers for protection from the elements. We also ship using just a pallet and shrink wrap – no cardboard, bubble wrap or other cushioning materials that need to go to the landfill.”
