Garden furniture is now available in all price ranges and comes in a wide variety of materials and styles. The present trend favours high-end furniture. Furniture made of good quality wood, such as teak, is both durable and inviting. It requires a little maintenance, but it is really worth the effort. Selecting patio furniture made of teak, particularly teak wood taken from the core of the tree, will ensure a high quality wood whose smaller grain is much more resistant. Preserve it with teak oil to protect it from the effects of weather and the sun, premature aging, and cracks.
Metal furniture is regaining its popularity. We can find corrosion-resistant cast aluminum tables with embedded glass, solid steel tables, rectangular tables with glass top and rotating platter, rectangular or round tables with tempered glass tops, and rectangular tables with embedded glass. The matching chairs and loungers can be made of corrosion-resistant cast aluminum with cushions, of aluminum and canvas, of lattice and cushions, or with the very popular canvas chairs. The market-style umbrella can be straight or bendable.
The most popular items are mid-backed chairs and high-backed loungers. Stacking chairs are most often chosen for their practicality. Gliding chairs, gliding rockers, and lounge chairs will sometimes complete the set. We are seeing more and more hammocks and suspended swings. Naturally, the bench is now well installed in our garden where it will stay, and the traditional swing adds to the serenity.
