MADE FOR GENERATIONS
Truly an American family tradition, OW Lee Company was established in 1947 in Pasadena, California
by Oddist W. Lee, as a fabricator of wrought iron gates and railings for the luxurious estates of Southern
California. Due to increased requests, Oddist began to design and sell wrought iron kitchenettes and bistro
sets for local furniture stores, which eventually lead to selling to furniture chain furniture stores throughout
the U.S.
Oddist’s son, Bob, joined the company in the 1950’s and in the 70’s and 80’s began to design and sell high
end patio furniture to patio furniture specialty stores throughout the United States, establishing OW Lee
Company as a well-known and reputable U.S. manufacturer in the ever-growing outdoor furniture industry.
Now, 75 years later, the third and fourth generations of the Lee family maintains O.W.’s commitment to
manufacturing quality furniture and 昀椀re pits in the United States. In 2021, OW Lee moved its manufacturing
facility to Comfort, Texas which is located in the beautiful Hill Country of Southcentral Texas, northwest of
San Antonio.
The OW Lee name stands for quality, innovation and design, and as a family owned and operated business,
pledge to continue the tradition started in 1947.
