What Summer Classics does

Summer Classics, established in 1987 and headquartered in Pelham, Alabama, designs and manufactures luxury outdoor furniture under the Gabriella White family of brands. The company operates as a US-based, vertically integrated producer of premium patio collections, dining sets, seating, and complementary outdoor accessories, with its legal parent entity Gabriella White operating both the Summer Classics outdoor line and the indoor Gabby furnishings brand.

The product portfolio is anchored by proprietary materials including N-Dura Resin Wicker and N-Dura Resin Wood with built-in UV resistance, Grade A Teak sourced from Indonesian plantations, wrought aluminum with triple-layer powder/dry/polyurethane coating, marine-grade vinyl, Batyline Outdoor Performance Sling (OEKO-TEX certified, Greenguard Gold), Plateau Marine-Grade Fiberglass, and cast stone. Over 80% of fabrics are exclusive to the brand and developed in collaboration with mills. Manufacturing is conducted at the Pelham, Alabama headquarters, where outdoor pillows are hand sewn in the USA, and the company holds at least 22 registered design patents covering lounge configurations, tables, storage, and bar stools.

Revenue is generated through one-time B2B sales of luxury outdoor furniture exclusively to authorized dealers and interior designers via a trade-only pricing model gated by account authentication. Distribution flows through a domestic dealer network supplemented by a direct designer trade program, with marketing concentrated on industry trade shows (including High Point Market), digital catalogs, account-based email, and a 2024 Quick Ship Program for select items. The company does not sell directly to consumers.
