Allen and Roth is Lowe's private brand. My source thinks that lowes bought them out and rebranded the item. It could be the same identical item.

Thank you, Sandie! I think your source is right; that makes sense. I think I will order a sample of the Oswego as soon as it becomes available (June). :) Ruth

Your welcome! :)

I have been comparing the Viatera teak to the Allen and Roth ellensburger, and as far as I can tell, they are exactly the same.

LG Viatera is back in my Home Depot, and i have hada a chance to compare samples of Viatera's Olive Rust and Allen & Roth's Oswego, and they not not appear to be exactly the same. Oswego definitely has more and larger black flecks, and seems to have an overall cooler tone than the Olive Rust. They are very close, though! I will be going with my original choice, the Olive Rust. Good luck with your projects, everyone!

Actually Allen and Roth people parted from Viatera and created the brand. Some Lowe's still carry Viatera.
