About Yardbird
As the weather warms up again, it just doesn’t feel right to spend all night after work or all weekend staying cooped up inside. If you have a backyard, you can have a wonderful and relaxing time with a drink and book in hand or with friends and neighbors.
Until recently, the new companies entering the direct-to-consumer space focused on all the things that go inside your home — mattresses, sheets and towels, cookware, furniture, and the like. Considering we spend the majority of our time indoors, this made sense, but if you wanted a new store to improve your outdoor space, it was difficult to find.
Yardbird, founded in 2017 by a father-son duo, is the direct-to-consumer outdoor furniture company you’ve been looking for. Evidently, it’s what other people have been looking for, too, because it sold out of $1 million worth of inventory less than a month into its launch. In 2018, it sold out of $4 million of inventory just a few months into the year.
Yardbird’s start and how its furniture is made
Curious as to why high-end furniture companies were charging at least $5,000 for an outdoor wicker sectional, cofounder Jay Dillon talked to his father who had experience in the furniture industry. Eventually, Dillon ended up in factories in Asia, where more than 95% of all outdoor furniture is manufactured.
There, he was quoted products at one-seventh of the retail price, and he knew there was potential for a business. What makes Yardbird even more noteworthy isn’t only that it sells high-quality and stylish outdoor furniture for less. It’s that the pieces are sustainable, made from intercepted ocean plastic.
As nature lovers who wanted to enjoy the outdoors for years to come, the Minnesota-based founders sought to create products that reduced human impact on the planet. Dillon had heard of large brands incorporating recycled plastics in their products but discovered the process took too many steps and plastic resale prices were too high.
Yardbird Product Review
The stylish crowd that populates Yardbird daily is serious enough about a great plate of food that they’re willing to abandon any dietary restrictions—at least for the hour or two they spend here.
While the idea is that all of the plates are shareable, not everyone is always so generous, so choose your dining companions wisely, because you’ll want to take a bite of every dish that hits the table.
