Oh, you want to sit outside? That'll be $2000.
Like a lot of people I've been noticing the weather improving and am wanting to get some outdoor furniture for the coming summer.
However am just gobsmacked and absolutely dismayed by just how expensive every piece of 'outdoor furniture' appears to be. Especially considering how long it doesn't seem to last - e.g. lots of rattan/woven stuff on marketplace that is falling apart after just a couple of years.
If anyone has any recommendations of outdoor furniture (table+chairs and sofa/seating area) that isn't massively overpriced and/or terrible quality I'd love to hear them. Cheers!
Bought this one a couple of years ago for the bargain price of $799 and it's been through a ton of weather the past two years and still going strong. All aluminium construction, very lightweight so best to weigh it down or put in a sheltered place. The fabric has barely faded even though it's largely sat in the sun the whole time. No mould either, and it dries out in the sun pretty quickly.
I'd call it moderately comfortable, cushions are soft but the base pad is a little firm, I suppose like most outdoor sets. Only other complaint would be that the back rests (detachable, to transform the corner couch into a couple of sun beds) seem a little on the flimsy side, but having said that, none have bent or broken yet.
Would definitely buy again, probably even at the higher price.
