It’s hard to beat springtime in the
Lowcountry, and what better way to shed those
winter blues than by spending some time relaxing
outside?
Palm Causal is ready to help you do exactly
that. The family owned and operated company
has been specializing in high-quality, custom patio furni-
ture since 1979.
“We do it all, whatever you want,” said owner Aaron
Beasley. “A lot of our customers
are interested in cast aluminum for
a traditional ‘Charleston’ feel. Others lean toward a more
contemporary style in wicker. Whatever fits best with your
taste, we build it to last.”
While Palm Casual
does sell in-stock items,
Beasley and his team
make sure that the custom
design and production
process is quick and easy.
There are a variety of
designs and colors from
which to choose, and, as
a volume manufacturer,
pieces can be made in one
to two weeks.
“I don’t know another
store in Charleston who builds their own patio furniture.
You could compare it to buying a car off the assembly
line,” said Beasley.
Custom patio furniture shouldn’t leave you feeling like
your wallet got a spring cleaning.
“Since we manufacture and distribute to hundreds of
stores nationwide, we are able to streamline the process
and make it efficient, which helps control costs. This
allows our customers a better price for a high-quality prod-
uct,” Beasley explained.
If you already have patio furniture, whether it is left
outside in the elements or kept in storage through the
winter, good upkeep is vital to extending its life.

“Our cushions are all reversible and removable to
extend their durability,” Beasley said. “We exclusively use
Sunbrella material, which is actually a solution-dyed acryl-
ic that only feels and looks like fabric and can be cleaned
with bleach. The same goes for our wicker furniture; it is
actually made of woven, high-end plastic, making it easier
to clean and more likely to hold up over time.”
Palm Casual offers several free lifetime services to its
past customers to ensure that their custom patio furniture
is always in top condition.
“We re-stuff cushions for free,” Beasley said. “We do
use the highest quality of foam that is made, but even the
best foam will eventually collapse over time.”
Other free services
include re-buttoning and
re-sewing cushions, repairing
wicker and fixing chipped
paint.
“Customer service is
what we do best,” Beasley
said. “That’s what has helped
us stay in business for 37
years. Customers love us and
tell other people – they’re
our best advertising.”
Palm Casual puts so
much emphasis on customer
satisfaction that they offer a 30-day full refund or replace-
ment – for any reason – on custom-made pieces.
“If they get their cushions and realize the color doesn’t
look right in the space, we work with them to find the
right color, sometimes making five or six different sets un-
til our client finds the right one,” Beasley explained. “Most
people are shocked to learn that this is free of charge, even
if we have to build an entirely new custom set.”
Make the most of springtime this year. Palm Casual is
here to help revive the furniture sets you already purchased
from them or to help you add to your collection.
