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...

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...

Need some extra storage space?

Advantages: Good style, ease of use, hard wearing
Disadvantages: Price

...would happily house garden tools, like spades etc, or even the lawnmower and strimmer or BBQ if you have no place for them. We have had this storage cupboard erected for around three years now and to be honest I have only cleaned it once. It looks a slightly different colour to when we brought it but nothing particularly bad. The water resistant resin that it is made from is extremely durable and Keter promise that it will not rust, dent, stain or peel. I can certainly vouch for that promise so far as other than a little dirt it is still intact, as it was on the day we brought it. I have not seen any moss collecting on the surfaces either, which is a great asset as moss is one of the things that will age a product like this extremely quickly. Overall I am very satisfied with the Keter Garden Store. I find it extremely user friendly...

Suck your air out and triple the storage

Advantages: Storage problems solved easily
Disadvantages: None!

...JML VacPac Vacuum Seal Storage Bags Why I bought them... A large quantity of bedding, clothes and other odds and ends that needed to be transported over two hundred miles from home to my narrowboat in readiness for my next cruise was causing me a real problem. Since retiring to enjoy my boat and freedom, my income has dwindled to nil and downsizing is the name of the game. My car has downsized too, now a little Ford KA, great for shopping but pretty useless for anything involving luggage or bulk. I needed a cheap way of cramming as much into the car as humanly possible, hiring a vehicle was out of the question so I came up with the idea of Vacuum Storage Bags as a method of transporting my gear. What they do.... The idea is that you pack your items for storage in the plastic bag and then seal it with the aid of a little...

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...

Vaccum Storage Bags

Advantages: Space Saving Ideas for Home and Abroad
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know must happen when traveling on a plane think of the goodies you can bring back !! Although I have never tries them in my suitcase while...

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...

I like the intro that has a robotic sound effect which is followed...

A good furniture store

Advantages: Good range - reasonable prices - good staff
Disadvantages: Delivery not included

...DFS is a furniture shop that sells mainly sofas and armchairs as well as some additional accompanying furniture. The majority of their range is produced in high quality fabrics and leathers and appears to be very well made. We have just purchased our new sofa from there after looking for many weeks for the right "deal". Many of the furniture shops offered some great ranges and great prices but did not match our requirements exactly. Eventually we found DFS offering the ideal sofa and at half price. What we liked about DFS was the lack of "Hard Sell" tactics. There were plenty of sales staff around but none were hassling us to see if they could help. They made themselves obvious enough for us to ask if we needed assistance. The layout of their stores is both logical and functional. Nothing is too cluttered and the suites are layed out...
