Why buy the best quality garden furniture?

First, let’s take a quick look at why we insist on luxury garden furniture for our shop. It certainly makes sense from a business perspective. Because we only sell great products our customers trust us, which means they come back for more. We don’t have to handle a load of returns and complaints because people like you love the things we sell, rating them highly. When people are happy they recommend us to their friends – thanks for that, we really appreciate it! And because everything goes so smoothly when you only sell the best stuff, we get the time we need to grow our business.

The most important people are you, of course, our lovely customers and all the new people who might come our way to buy beautiful garden furniture. So why would you bother buying luxury garden furniture when it does, after all, mean spending more money?

Cheap garden furniture is usually a false economy

It’s rare to find something really cheap that also delivers great quality. You’re more likely to end up with garden furniture that looks amazing for a year, but when year two rolls around it soon starts to look tatty and sad. Maybe it won’t withstand the weather anywhere near as well as better quality alternatives. Th resin might fade, the seats could sag, the legs can fray.

Cheap resin weave can unravel, leaving you with furniture that looks dreadful and ultimately doesn’t do the job any more. The frames can be made of cheap aluminium which isn’t always tough enough for the job. Give it a few months of frequent use involving kids, pets and parties, and it can let you down quite badly.

Comfort matters – Cheap is often a pain!

One of the most dramatic differences between cheap and luxury garden furniture is the comfort. Take a look at the outdoor furniture we sell and you’ll see it comes with lovely deep, thick cushions. They’re extremely comfortable for your back and backside as well as showerproof. The covers are easily washable and the material inside the cushions won’t bunch up or form lumps over time. Luxury cushions mean you get loads of lovely softness to relax into, as well as being properly supported, and they stay that way.

Luxury means exceptional looks and super-stylish design

You know how things sometimes just look cheap? You can pick up brand new rattan effect patio furniture for very little. Some of it looks fabulous from a distance. But look closer. What’s the weave like? Is it a great big sheet of resin with a 3D weave-like pattern punched into it? If so you’re looking at something that can easily tear, rip, or come loose from the frame.

Go for luxurious alternatives and the weave is actually woven. It is so much stronger and longer lasting than a plastic sheet. The best resin weave often comes in two or more colours as well, for example a dark grey, mid grey and pale grey, giving you a gorgeous natural look as well as a highly durable item.

Sustainable wood matters to most of us these days. Almost all the wooden garden furniture we sell is made from FSC certified wood from a sustainable source, and every wooden item we sell is luxurious quality.

Buying the best helps protect the environment

Have you heard of ‘Peak Stuff’? Click here to find out the details in an article by Fred Pearce, one of the nation’s best science writers. It’s fascinating. Basically Peak Stuff means there’s so much of a product already in existence that nobody needs to make any more of it. The more stuff humanity makes, uses and throws away, the more we need to make, and the more we damage the environment that sustains us. It makes environmental sense to buy the best therefore buy less often.
