owlee2-2019 Truly an American family tradition, OW Lee Company was established in Pasadena, California, by Oddist W. Lee in 1947 as a wrought-iron gate manufacturer for the luxurious estates of Southern California. Due to increased requests from local furniture store owners, Oddist began to design and sell high-end patio furniture directly. In 1954, he incorporated under the name OW Lee Company.

 

Oddist’s son, Bob, joined his father after high school and continued in the business throughout the 1970s, ’80s and early ’90s. Bob Lee and his wife, Beverly, established OW Lee Company as a well-known and reputable manufacturer in the casual furniture industry. In 2008, the couple received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Casual Furnishings Association in recognition of their exemplary contributions to the casual furniture industry.

The third and fourth generations of the Lee family maintains Oddist’s commitment to quality more than 70 years later. Bob’s daughter Terri, son-in-law Chris, and grandchildren Leisa and Paul continue to build OW Lee into the premier name in casual furnishings.

OW Lee furniture is available only from authorized dealers throughout North America. Through four generations, OW Lee has maintained its commitment to quality, and it will continue to produce the finest handcrafted casual furniture available. OW Lee, an American family tradition since 1947.
