Supplying quality furniture is something that is close to our heart, and we are here to help you get the best value for your money.

Plastic is a great material to go for if you're looking for longevity. It is ideal for pubs or restaurants as it is wipe down, there is no need to cover furniture at night or before it rains as the water just runs off. Our comfortable Siesta range is a very strong, durable option and comes in a range of muted and bright colours. The benefit of these pieces is that the is no cushions so you don’t need to worry about taking them in at night. A great set is our Panana Ibiza 4-seater dining set  which is perfect for small families or outdoor seating for restaurants.

If longevity is your top priority, then rattan is the answer. Not only is it long-lasting, it is also very stylish. The durability of rattan increases depending on the weave, the thicker the weave, the stronger it is.

There are many different types of weave such as half round, full round, and flat weave. Full round weave is the most durable and also the heaviest. Half round is very popular as it is comfortable, durable and long-lasting.

Lastly, flat weave is usually cheaper and more lightweight while still maintaining that durability. The cast aluminium frame makes the rattan pieces lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. This also makes them rust proof so they last much longer. Our rattan range has many options for sizes and the number of chairs in a set. We also have bar stools, sun loungers, and lounge sets. All of our rattan furniture sets include quick dry cushions which are stronger and offer better longevity than normal cushions. The cube sets in particular are very versatile as they can easily be pushed together which makes them more compact and they take up less space.

Wood is a very durable option for furniture and comes in a variety of types, colours and styles. One of the best wood options is teak or roble wood. Teak wood is very durable and for this reason, is commonly used for outdoor furniture. Not only is it durable, it is also very beautiful and has a golden hue. However, you must make sure that when you are buying teak wood furniture, the teak wood must be mature. If it is young teak wood, it can break easily, and is bad for the environment. Make sure to do you research before spending any money. Roble wood is a great option as well as it has the same light, golden hue. Roble wood furniture is guaranteed to last a long time. It is also lightweight and is more decay-resistant than other woods.

All of our furniture is also UV resistant making them more resilient. Stackable chairs are a great feature to look out for when buying durable furniture as when they are together is more difficult to for wind to knock them over. This means that it is safer to stack them as they will less prone to scrapes and scratches.
