Buyer Beware: Why do prices vary so much for garden furniture?

Buyer Beware: Why do prices vary so much for garden furniture?

September 12, 2013


To put it directly the reason why products vary is quality Vs quantity. What may look the same to the customer really is not the same in terms of quality meaning the prices are dramatically different. We are a luxury retailer and you know that through the quality of our pieces and that they will last you a lifetime.

Some customers often ask us what’s the different between our products and cheaper versions on the market; whether it be our teak, all weather weave or  our aluminium ranges.

To see the different priced products side by side you would be able to see, feel and even smell the difference in the pieces. However when you are dealing with an online store this becomes more difficult. With many companies offering ‘discounted rates’ and ‘sale prices’ it can be a very confusing market place for customers.

So what should you be looking for when it comes to purchasing your garden furniture or even furniture for the home?

Well firstly look at the company’s vital stats (who? What? When? Where? How?) We as a company are backed by a successful and well established furniture retailer so we know what we are offering is the best in the market. All of our pieces are made to the highest standard in design and specification.

So what are the common complaints with budget Garden Furniture? Cheaper Garden Furniture may not be as tightly woven often comes flat packed with sections needed to be bolted together, unlike our Garden Furniture which comes as one piece, fully assembled and placed where ever you like, by our very own delivery drivers (no out sourcing delivery here) Other pieces such as the teak and metal ranges will look lack-lustre and not very appealing to the eye after the first year, and they often require a lot of maintenance.

Our contemporary pieces are made using powder coated aluminium that are extremely strong and durable and can be left outside with minimal fuss. We also combine this with stainless steel- marine grade steel which stands up to adverse conditions. Our all weather weave pieces are made by hand using traditional techniques meaning it is strong, durable, colourfast to rain and sun whilst being rot resistant and lightweight- effectively completely maintenance free.

As a company we never buy our products without visiting them first. We have a dedicated product development manager, who travels the globe to bring the customer exclusives in materials, style and design. We are always striving to develop and get new products as soon as they enter the market to ensure our customers have the most current and contemporary furniture they desire. With the ability to stock our full ranges on our show site the customer is guaranteed a small lead time.

As well as the actual product itself customers should be aware of the specifications of any extras e.g. cushions or glass. Our cushions are bespoke, made in the UK and have removable covers made with Flame Retardant reflex foam (great for commercial environments)

Customers want stylish outdoor products that are ready for use as soon as the sun makes its appearance and that can simply be left to take care of themselves during the winter months and that’s what we offer. To find out more give us a call 01284 812000 or drop us an e-mail info@verdongrey.co.uk
