45 Years of Luxury Patio Furniture in Ontario

45 Years of Luxury Patio Furniture in Ontario

This year marks a major milestone: 45 years of Casualife Outdoor Living. Our story began humbly back in 1981. Looking back at how we’ve grown, it’s been an incredible journey. Originally founded as Salco Patio & Leisure, we rebranded to Casualife Outdoor Living in 2012 with a focus on well-curated, exclusive outdoor collections paired with expert design advice and high-end service. Ever since then, it’s always been important to us to bring you outdoor styles that balance fresh and timeless looks. This is a balance that isn't always easy to achieve.

Ultimately, not every company can last 45 years. We attribute our growing success to our loving customers who appreciate the curation, customer service and local business model at Casualife Outdoor Living

QUALITY SELECTION

Casualife Outdoor Living sets itself apart through its commitment to quality products and styles you’ll love for years to come. Every year, we bring in new Exclusive collections made from the most durable materials for outdoor living, whether that’s Grade A Teak (which we've always been, is generational), Powder Coated Aluminum or Stainless Steel (neither of which will rust or tarnish), or finishes like Propylene Rope or Sintered Stone. Ultimately, over the years, we’ve collected a curated one-of-a-kind line of patio furniture worth the investment, whether you're looking for something traditional, transitional or modern. 

THE HEART OF LOCAL

Casualife is a proud, local Toronto-run business. Our custom-made-to-order cushions are made right here, in Mississauga! Because we manufacture our cushions locally, choosing a custom fabric doesn't mean waiting months for your order. We maintain a remarkable 2-week turnaround from purchase to delivery.

Note: Going for a subtle texture for your outdoor cushion upholstery is the perfect way to get any piece feeling lux. The image above showcases Whistler's Char, one of our many Casualife Exclusive Upholstery Outdoor Fabrics.

WHITE GLOVE SERVICE: MORE THAN JUST A DELIVERY

Our commitment to excellence extends from the showroom floors ALL THE WAY to your backyard. We manage our own in-house delivery team to provide a true White Glove Delivery Service. We started with just one truck, then added a second, and now operate a dedicated van to service our three locations in Markham, Mississauga, and Collingwood. While we love hearing compliments about our showrooms, we are always so proud of the praises our delivery team receives.

BUILDING SPACES AND CONNECTIONS

Working locally means working as a team. We foster a family-oriented attitude, not just with each other, but with our clients as well. We are honoured every time you invite our products (and by extension, our team) into your home.

We are expert outdoor design consultants, and as such, we understand that a beautiful patio is often a multi-year project. Whether you start with a lounge set one year, add dining the next, and finish with an optimized shade solution or some planters and accent pillows. This means we’re often in touch with our clients summer after summer, helping your backyard landscaping achieve its next level of finish. That’s the type of personal touch you get at Casualife Outdoor Living.

Speaking of shade solutions, in 2023, we became partners with TUUCI and now feature their stunning umbrellas in our showrooms. You’ll want to read about the wide selection of customization here: Introducing Tuuci Luxury Umbrellas at Casualife

STYLISH NEW COLLECTIONS

While we respect the classics, we love to mix in something a little more modern too:

The Chalet Sectional: Introduced in 2021, this elegant, curved-back look, available in Teak and Black Aluiminum coming for 2026. The chalet quickly sold out last year.

The Lanai Collection: Launched in Summer 2024, this was our first fully upholstered collection, featuring a stylish luxury boucley fabric.

Note: If you’re wondering what to do with fully upholstered outdoor furniture during the winter, our recommendation has been to shrink-wrap it if you’re not able to store it indoors. 

P.S We're introducing a Lanai black finish for the 2026 patio season!

Exclusive Fabrics: In the same year, we introduced Harbours De Ivory, an exclusive Casualife fabric for those who want that high-end texture in smaller spaces or existing pieces, available as both upholstery or pillows.

A GROWING FOOTPRINT

Our journey started with our first showroom in Markham. From there, we expanded to a showroom on Toronto’s Lakeshore in Port Credit. The excitement continued last year when we opened our third location in Collingwood. From small condo balconies and breakfast nooks to large-scale resorts and four-season screened porches, we’ve designed it all over Ontario. No matter the size of your deck or cottage, our exclusive collections ensure there is always something perfectly suited for your space.
