Our story

Creating space to feel more connected and present is the why behind everything we do at Neighbor. We believe that spending quality time with family and friends isn’t just for special occasions.

Our design-driven, modern outdoor furniture is made for everyday moments, big and small, so you can reimagine home, outdoors.

Our beginning

It all started in 2020. Friends and former co-workers, Nick, Chris, and Mike had a simple idea: to rethink the potential of outdoor furniture through design, sustainability and accessibility. Combining their past experiences, strengths and passions, they sought to make the kind of furniture they wished to find for their own backyards with the same quality materials, craftsmanship and attention-to-detail as living room furniture.

The first collection, Haven, was designed to be entirely modular, comfortable and durable for a long life outdoors. It’s made with FSC-certified solid teak and Sunbrella fabric and ships free in flat boxes that don’t require a moving van.

Our values

We’re passionate about good design

Form and function. Comfort, quality, and durability. We believe good design can move the human spirit. All of our furniture is designed by our Phoenix-based team.

We care

From product design to packaging, team leadership and customer service, we’re intentional about everything we do. No detail is too small, and we will always try to make things better for our neighbor. It’s in our DNA.

We’re honest

In an effort to bring people together in a meaningful way, we approach all our design and communication — how we listen, how we talk, how we own our actions — with honesty, sensitivity, and empathy.

We have fun

At Neighbor, we laugh a lot. We take our work seriously, but rarely take ourselves seriously. As a small team with a big vision, we value humor and the capacity it has to build connection.

Our culture

Growing together

We value teamwork, collaboration and differences of opinion. Everyone is invited to participate in everything from product testing and critiques, to our weekly team run club.

Neighbor HQ

Our office in Phoenix is where our product concepts come to life. It’s design-centered, and home to our first indoor/outdoor showroom, prototype warehouse and a full product photography studio.

Benefits and perks

All team members enjoy weekly team lunches, a yearly stipend for personal travel, paid health care, unlimited vacation time, coffee, snacks and more.

Everyone is an owner

Neighbor is an employee-owned business. Nick, Chris and Mike’s idea for shared ownership means we all benefit from the brand’s growth and success.

Our commitment

We build our products to last

But, like all nice things, they require care. We guarantee that if are products are cleaned and protected when necessary, they will be with you for a very long time.

We provide exceptional customer service

From the performance of our fabrics to the quality of our teak, everything about our products will look and feel great when it arrives to you, and hopefully exceed your expectations. If you aren’t satisfied, you have 45 days to return the items free of charge.

We make buying outdoor furniture online easy

The best type of customer service is one that is not needed at all. However, when our customers do need our help, we believe we’re better than 99% of the companies out there. We’d prefer to say 100%, but our attorneys told us we couldn’t. If you don’t believe us, read our reviews.
