Why is OW Lee more expensive than other patio brands?
Hand-forged wrought iron (not stamped or welded), made in California (not imported), and a build process that's been refined over 75 years. The premium covers frame weight, weld quality, finish durability, and the brand's lifetime structural warranty. Most owners report the cost-per-year math works out better than buying mid-tier patio every 4-5 years.
How does OW Lee hold up in Texas weather?
Better than almost any other patio brand on the market. Hand-forged wrought iron is treated with a multi-coat powder-coat finish that handles DFW UV, humidity, and the occasional ice storm. Cushion fabric is Sunbrella — UV-resistant for 5+ years of full-sun exposure. Most OW Lee buyers in DFW are still using the set 15-20 years later.
Which OW Lee collection should I look at?
Monterra if you want a classic deep-cushion lounge look — most popular in DFW. Marquette if you want a more modern aesthetic. Belle Vie if you want cast aluminum (lighter, less expensive) instead of wrought iron.
What does an OW Lee set cost installed in DFW?
Complete sets: Monterra $2,500-$6,500. Marquette $2,000-$5,500. Belle Vie $1,200-$4,500. Delivery in DFW is free on orders over $2,000. Most sets are stocked or available within 2-4 weeks.
What's the warranty?
OW Lee frame warranty is lifetime structural. Cushion fabric (Sunbrella) is 5-year UV warranty. Powder-coat finish is 3-year warranty against blistering and peeling.
Can I order custom configurations or fabrics?
Yes. OW Lee offers 100+ Sunbrella fabric options and configurable seating layouts. Custom orders run 6-10 weeks vs 2-4 weeks for in-stock. Our consultants walk you through the configurator in-store.
