Timing is everything, and Allstate Billiards and Patio Furniture opens its new Birmingham showroom at 690 S. Woodward Ave. just in time for you to furnish your outdoor space.

The 7,000-square-foot showroom features upscale furniture by Lloyd/Flanders, Whitecraft, Brown and Jordan and Tropitone (shown here) as well as Napoleon Gas Grills and outdoor rugs and lamps.

The retailer now has five Metro Detroit stores, including other locations in Detroit, Novi, Bloomfield Hills and Ann Arbor. For more information, go to www.shopallstate.com.
