Patio furniture

Well, I tend to go for the folding fabric chair patio sets , because:

- they are cheap;
- I can change to a new colour every year or so;
- they have high seats making them easy to get in and out of;
- they don't need to be maintained;
- they can be left outside all Winter;
- you can buy fitted cushions which make them more comfy;
- they are level with the matching table - so easy to eat from.

If I could afford it, I'd go for the teak - I tend to associate rattan with conservatory furniture.

 

Agree...if you can afford the teak, that's the best. They will last forever......well almost.

 

The teak is lovely . But if it is only teak effect i.e stained it does take some maintaining. They do tend to look a little dowdy after 3 years . The modern plastic rattan/weave effect furniture would be my choice . Ours looks as good as new after 8 years . I just store it in the garage November to March.

 

We have rattan furniture, its great no maintenance, only put it away at winter, but we did leave it out over last winter has we had some nice evening to sit out around our chimenea

 

We've been looking at garden furniture too. I have a lovely dining set, but I want a lounge set, for under the gazebo. A friend of mine has bought from this company and is very pleased with what she's got. Don't know what she bought, though. Hope it's ok to add this link?

Wow @shiney that's great customer service. I'd love to have really good wooden furniture outside, but my cats tend to use it as a scratching post, so won't look good for long. I've worried that they'll do the same to rattan, but I think most have a resin style protective covering on them.

 

Nice patio sets in Asda yesterday . I wonder how long it is before they and others have a special sale. They can't be moving much product in this miserable summer.

 

Pictures? Please?
