Outdoor Furniture


When the sun is shining and temperatures are warm, there’s no better place to be than outside in your own little paradise. With patio season fast approaching, we’re preparing ourselves for afternoons spent basking in the sun, and evenings spent barbecuing with a beer in hand. But to make our outdoor area a truly enjoyable and welcoming place, a good quality patio furniture set is essential. Here’s our advice on choosing outdoor furniture that’s both functional and stylish!

CHOOSING THE BEST WOOD FOR YOUR OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Wooden furniture blends in effortlessly with the nature of your garden. It simply looks like it belongs there. But, it’s important to choose a wood that is well suited for outdoor conditions. Woods that are less porous are much more durable. Our favorite wood for outdoor furniture has got to be ipe, also known as Brazilian walnut. Hailing from South America, ipe is a dense wood that’s no stranger to harsh conditions. You can rest assured that these ipe wood patio sets from Jensen Leisure Furniture won’t be lost to weather damage or erosion:

  • For those who love to sip their coffee, sweet tea, or other refreshing beverages on the porch, the Ruby Rocker Group is a fabulous collection of rocking chairs.

  • The Lincoln Backless Bench is a super versatile piece that can really be placed anywhere in the garden. Pair it with a picnic table for your new favorite snack spot!

  • If you’re into entertaining guests with luxury outdoor dining, you might be looking for something a little more sophisticated. Laugh the night away under the stars with the Integra Dining Set or Amber Beechworth Dining Group.

WICKER OUTDOOR FURNITURE: NATURAL VS VINYL

A classic outdoor furniture material, wicker-style objects have held their popularity for decades. They have a gorgeous country-style, rustic look that’s perfect for the patio. Wicker is the technique of weaving natural fibers or vinyl to create lightweight furniture. For an option from natural wicker furniture, consider going with a vinyl weave instead. One thing wicker is famous for is being particularly comfortable. Selecting stylish outdoor Sunbrella fabrics is an option! They allow you to play with different colors and patterns while dressing up the neutral shades of the wicker furniture. Do you know that Sunbrella is one of the top premium fabrics in the world that is used for outdoor furniture and shading? Made from 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic it is highly resistant to stains, water, mild dew, fading and UV. We care for you and that is our outdoor furniture and umbrellas come with Sunbrella fabric.
