Ensley Willow is based in Northeastern Ohio, and uses carefully selected willow to make a wide variety of unique, comfortable, beautiful and environmentally friendly furniture for the garden and the home.  The shapes into which willow furniture can be made are almost endless, and each artisan has his or her own style, based on what they deem to be most comfortable, durable, and appealing.  

Willow furniture was a familiar sight on porches across the country in the 1920's and 30's, during which time bands of Gypsies migrating North in the summer, and South in the winter, would gather willow down by the creeks, make the  furniture, and sell it along their way. 

In addition to being sturdy, comfortable, unique, and attractive, willow furniture is eco-friendly, as willow artisans use green building materials and construction methods.  Willow grows year round, and when it’s harvested, new shoots grow from the stump.  The willow will continue to grow year after year and the roots are extraordinarily tough and tenacious.  Most willows take root readily from cuttings or where broken branches lie on the ground, and the buds are lateral, thus no truly terminal bud ever forms.
