MINNEAPOLIS  April 29, 2004  Rebecca Kolls, gardening guru and Good Morning America (GMA) correspondent, highlighted CWIÂs Lifewood furniture in her annual preview of the best gardening and outdoor living products during GMAÂs broadcast on April 21. Kolls displayed the Palomar Double Chair, Quayside Lounger and Tivoli Café Table from the Veranda Collection of Lifewood.
She praised the affordability and durability of the balau wood from which it is crafted. ÂTeak is very big. ItÂs very expensive, said Kolls. ÂNow thereÂs an alternative called balau. ItÂs 25 percent denser than teak. And this furniture is guaranteed for life.Â
Kolls also commented on consumers environmental concerns. ÂThe biggest trend sweeping the country is the green revolution, she said. All wood in CWIÂs Lifewood furniture is sourced from plantations and forests certified according to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) international standards for environmentally sensitive, sustainable harvesting. CWIÂs manufacturer also adheres to environmental regulations on timber harvesting, pollution control, waste reduction and waste management of the countries where the wood is harvested and the furniture is produced. From seed in the ground to finished furniture gracing consumers porches, decks, patios and gardens, Lifewood is Âgreen.Â
