Meridian Furniture is reporting a 40% increase in dealers carrying its outdoor furniture collection over the past year, alongside a doubling of its SKU count in the segment. The fast-growing brand says the gains reflect strong demand for outdoor products that balance style, function and price, as well as positive reception from retail partners. Meridian is positioning its outdoor assortment to meet the demand for indoor-outdoor living, with an emphasis on durability and materials designed to withstand outdoor conditions.

Why it matters

The expansion of Meridian's outdoor furniture line comes as the broader outdoor category continues to benefit from consumer interest in versatile home design and indoor-outdoor living.
