What to consider when choosing a garden furniture set?

If you don't want to search for and buy each garden furniture separately, garden furniture sets are exactly what you need - the furniture in them is perfectly coordinated in terms of size and appearance. But before that, read and find out how to choose the right furniture set for your garden!

Type of garden furniture set

To make it easier for you to find what you need, garden furniture sets are divided into several types:

• Balcony set - as you can understand, this set includes small furniture that can be placed on the balcony (usually - one table and 2-4 chairs). This set is also useful in the garden if the furniture is intended for a small meal for a couple of people or for relaxation between garden work;
• Garden sofa set - sofas and lounge chairs are a great solution if you are looking for the most comfortable furniture. A large corner sofa, on the other hand, will be useful at parties, as it can accommodate six or more people at the same time (depending on the sofa model, of course);
• Garden furniture set - this set includes a garden table and chairs. If you plan to regularly gather with friends and family in the garden to enjoy delicious meals or relax together, this is a very suitable option;
• Picnic table sets - this set includes a table and benches. For more comfortable seating, it is recommended to choose benches with a backrest.

The choice of furniture set depends on your preferences and possibilities. A small garden and a couple of people will be enough with a balcony set, sofas offer the greatest comfort, while benches and chairs are quite easy to move around.

Material of garden furniture

The material of the furniture needs special attention. Why? Because it determines not only the appearance of the furniture, but also maintenance and other factors. Garden furniture sets are mainly made of the following materials:

• Wood - as a natural material, wood blends in almost anywhere, so furniture made of this material can be found in most gardens and homes. Usually, outdoor wooden furniture is properly treated, but it is recommended to renew the oil layer once a year, lightly sanding the furniture before that;
• Metal - metal furniture stands out for its durability and easy maintenance. Most garden furniture made of metal is treated so that weather conditions, including rain, do not harm them;
• Plastic - garden furniture sets made of this material are relatively lightweight and affordable, and plastic is not affected by rain; it is also easy to maintain. However, keep in mind that bright and dark plastic furniture will fade over time due to sunlight;
• Rattan - furniture made of rattan palm is known for its unique appearance and durability. Sometimes rattan is used to refer not only to the material, but also to the weaving style;
• Textile - garden furniture sets that are complemented with a textile cover or upholstery are very comfortable. However, to prevent damage to the textile, it is important to take proper care of it; for example, if the fabric remains wet for a long time, it can start to mold.

Many garden furniture sets are made of multiple materials, for example, with metal legs and a wooden table top.

Configuration and number of seats

To accommodate everyone, it is important to calculate how many people will be sitting at the furniture set before purchasing it. The number of seats can vary from 2 to 12 or more. It is always worth buying a few extra chairs - in case the number of guests is larger than usual or if one of the chairs breaks. Some furniture sets also come with accessories, such as umbrellas, cushions, or a canopy.
