Garden Furniture

Advantages: Comfort and style
Disadvantages: May not stock them in bnq anymore!

...I like to have stylish furniture, I bought this for my dads house in cyprus and it looks fabolous in the summer, we even use it in the house during the rest of the year. Not only does it look good but it also brings extremely good comfort, the cushions have special foam in them which has been designed to ensure maximum comfort. The cane used is of excellent quality, selected and shaped to ensure the best standard of product possible. It is very easy to assembly, with clear instructions given, so anybody can do it! I found mine at bnq for £299. However i am unsure if they still stock them but i have seen many available on ebay, offers varying. They really are a pleasure to sit/lay on and enjoy the sun or even have them inside the house. Would really reccomend them to anybody wishing to purchase a value for money...

Review of Jacobs, Young & Westbury Cane Garden Furniture

Aluminium Garden Furniture

Advantages: Looks Unusual
Disadvantages: Weathers terribly

...After having our garden landscaped 2 years ago, including more decking than you could shake a stick at, we decided that our old, white plastic garden furniture just didn't match anymore. After much deliberation, we decided on aluminium furniture and scoured all the local outlets. We settled for a hexagonal table, with a bronze coloured aluminim frame and a frosted glass top. The top had a hole in the middle to take the cream coloured wind-up parasol. The six aluminim framed chairs had a sort of plastic coated wire mesh as a seat, which was light and practical, and dried out within minutes after a shower of rain. It cost a total of £500 for the lot, including 2 matching sun loungers. The whole suite looked excellent, and was very easy to keep clean - just a wipe with a damp cloth. The glass top did, however, get grubby...

Review of Li-Lo Aluminium Garden Furniture

Throne for the Garden gnome!

Advantages: Beautiful hardwood bench
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...We recently had a new patio built and I had hoped to do a review but haven?t discovered a suitable topic in which to write about it, but as we have been enjoying sitting out in the sunshine we decided that we needed some more up-market garden furniture and so it?s about the garden bench that I am going to tell you about today. I wanted a table, chairs and umbrella, but it would probably cover the whole patio and then you wouldn?t be able to admire the lovely pattern! So I agreed with my husband (unusually for me!) and we went looking yesterday for a bench instead. I had looked in the Argos book but as you can?t actually see the item before you buy it, we were a bit wary and so went to Homebase as they were advertising 10% off today and although the better half was working if we choose something I planned to go today to buy it, save...

Review of Alexander Rose Hardwood Garden Furniture

Lafuma RSX, the ultimate garden recliner.

Advantages: Comfort, adjustability, quality, guarantee, comfort...
Disadvantages: price.

...Bought on an impulse from a camping shop at £175 for two, cheap they aren?t but they are worth every penny! ************************************** These French made chairs come with a two-year guarantee and are the ultimate in garden comfort. High tensile steel frames have elastic lacing threaded through loops supporting a padded seat complete with headrest, which will have you nodding off in the sun in no time. The reclining action is very smooth and infinitely adjustable so you can sit in the exact position you want and not in one predefined by the manufacturer. Once you're happy with the position simply turn out the levers under each arm rest to lock the seat in position. The tops of the resin arms have built in pads to make things even more comfortable. The headrest is a simple but clever pad held on by a loop of elastic...

Review of Lafuma Aluminium Garden Furniture

3 goes and my patio is still tragic

Advantages: Easy application.
Disadvantages: Won't work on really awful stains. Fishy smell.

...Plus:- No scrubbing. Minus:- Fishy stink. Doesn't work if your patio is REALLY bad. . I'm doing the garden up at the moment. I go through phases of doing up the garden, it looks all nice for a while so I take my eye off the ball and before I know it, the weeds have taken over and it looks a complete mess again. Anyway, I'm currently busy growing fruit, veg, herbs and so forth aswell as re-painting the fence panels and shed, putting slate chips hither and thither and then I realized how skanky the patio slabs and little border walls were looking. Some were their original creamy stone colour and others were various shades of green to grayish-black. In the past I've set to with hot water, disinfectant and a stiff broom?..and got covered in nasty flick-back so when I saw a bottle of Patio Magic for sale in Wilkinsons for £7...

Review of Brintons Patio Magic

PLANTS, PETS AND PATIO SETS

Advantages: Good quality products, wide selection, pleasant surroundings
Disadvantages: May be a little expensive

...to say that you will not be spoiled for choice. Within the area, there are usually trained members of staff who will assist you with any advice that you may require, and this applies to the entirety of the garden centre. There is also a selection of dried flowers, if this is more to your liking. Home & Garden Section To your right, you will find the Home & Garden Section. Not only does the Grosvenor Garden Centre sell a wide variety of garden furniture, but I can say from experience that it is good quality stuff. I have bought a number of items from here and it really has lasted. During the summer, this area is jam packed with various styles of garden furniture, patio sets, sun loungers and barbecues. Unfortunately, there has been one occasion where I have not been overly impressed with the service in this section. A few...

Review of Grosvenor Garden Centre, Chester

O PATIO RESTAURANT GREAT EATING IN TAVIRA

Advantages: EXCELLENT FRESH PRODUCE COOKED VERY WELL
Disadvantages: NONE

...When in Tavira you fancy a very enjoyable meal out then visit the O PATIO RESTAURANT. LOCATION:- Find the OLD ROMAN BRIDGE, not difficult, then with your back to the Open Air Theatre cross the bridge, on the opposite side just continue straight down the little street facing you, about 50 yards on the right hand side is O PATIO RESTAURANT. You enter by the door and prceed up the Staircase. You will pass a chilled display of the Fresh Caught Today fish on offer. In the restaurant is another chilled display of the Meat on offer. There is a small bar and then tables in Three Areas (rooms). There is also a Open Air Patio that must be delightful in the Summer. Pity we only seem to visit Tavira in the Winter, although it is still warm. What I Like is the Tables are Large, which is a big plus when the Food and Drinks come...

Review of Patio Restaurant, Tavira, Portugal

PATIO a very modern interior.

Advantages: Location only 60 yards from Old Town Square.
Disadvantages: Best to be shown to room on arrival.

...the Square is your starting point. The first option , if you are fit, would be a climb up the Elizabeth Church that is just around the Corner, this gives a great view over Wroclaw. There is a Panorma Painting for the Art Lovers, Housed in a purpose buit building, See my Seperate Review on this. A wonderful Botanical Garden (Must ask Ciao to open a product) as this warrents a review on its own for the Gardeners out there. Wroclaw has a very regular Tram System, but we found it easy enough to explore on foot. Perhaps using the Tram for return on what were very hot days. To sum up this Hotel at about £50 a night for a double room at weekends, a bit more during the week. is a better option for a couple than the Polonia I have also reviewed that tends to attract the Stag Groups. We booked thru staypoland.com quite a resonable site...

Review of Hotel Patio, Wroclaw

Beautiful furniture but expensive

Advantages: Great quality, Good ethics, beautiful furniture
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I recently bought a teak garden table, chairs and parasol made by Alexander Rose. Because of the price - we looked around to try to find an equivalent product which was cheaper. Unfortunately, having seen the Alexander Rose range, nothing else compared in terms of quality or comfort (I didn't realise wooden chairs could be so comfortable!). Everything else seemed rather flimsy or rickety in comparison. I think that their products are a very good choice ethically as well. Most of the furniture is made in a village in Ghana where they pay their workers a fair wage and give them and their family health care. They're also strict about where their wood is sourced from, to ensure that it's sustainable. The furniture I bought is beautiful and unlike a lot of other garden furniture on the market, doesn't have to be treated, although...

Review of Alexander Rose Hardwood Garden Furniture

Gorgeous dolls house furniture!

Advantages: Well made, safe, robust
Disadvantages: None that I can see

...My niece has a beautiful dolls house called the Marlborough Dolls House which is a John Crane Pintoy product ? in fact I wrote a review about it some time ago. There are various sets of furniture available to fit in this, or indeed any other, dolls house including bathroom, living room, kitchen, nursery and bedroom furniture. Earlier this year she received the set of living room furniture which she loves playing with and it is so cute I just had to tell you about it! Since I had no idea how much it cost I have just searched via Google and found the set ranging from £14.99 at Mail Order Express, to £13.95 at Amazon, down to just £12 at www.kidsrooms.co.uk where they also stock furniture for all the other rooms too! Incidentally the pictures of the items on this website are excellent and can be enlarged so that you can...
