In contrast to most other post this (I hope) is an apolitical question… where is the best place to get garden furniture? I am seeing everywhere from Prisma to K-Rauta to Clas Olsen stock garden chairs and tables, but I have no idea how to filter out what is going to be overpriced low quality stuff from things that will be sturdy enough to last several seasons.

If anyone has any tips it would be l would be very grateful!

    It doesn’t need to be a warm storage, just somewhere that snow and slush can’t get and soak the wood. The cold air alone doesn’t do damage, but if the furniture is wet when it goes below zero it’ll cause problems. And of course when it’s really cold plastic parts get brittle and specially if the furniture is used then they might get damaged.

    I prefer wood and steel, but there’s nuances with those as well. Some cheap “wooden” furniture is made out something more like a sponge, but in the other hand we’ve used some cheap dining table as a garden table, just get one made with real wood and treat it properly and it’ll last quite a few years.
