Why You Should Upgrade Your Outdoor Furniture
As we get into the hottest months of the year, we want to talk about something that will impact you now through the fall - your outdoor furniture! There’s nothing quite like sitting outside on a cool fall day, maybe roasting some s’mores or sipping hot chocolate with the people you love. But what happens when the summer ends and your cheap patio furniture is falling apart? Or maybe it’s holding together, but the cushions are flat and dingy. It’s time to upgrade your patio furniture and invest in some beautiful, durable pieces that will last through many seasons, and years, to come!
Why do you need quality outdoor furniture?
The first, and most obvious, reason to invest in quality outdoor furniture is going to be the same reason you would invest in indoor furniture - durability. We’ll get into this more in the next section!
You use your outdoor furniture more than you think you do! And if you aren’t using it, don’t you think there’s a reason for that? Are they uncomfortable? Inadequately sized for your body? Believe it or not, the popular, affordable little loveseats you see everywhere are often not going to be sized for the average person, and will therefore not be very comfortable to sit in. When you invest in quality furniture, you will have a wider range of sizes to choose from!
We also want to mention water damage. Cheaper outdoor furniture pieces often pool water, instead of soaking it in or allowing it to run off. When this happens, it may seep into the metal joints of the piece, and begin to create rust, until you dump out the excess water next time you go to use it. High-end furniture is built to prevent this damage!
How long does quality outdoor furniture last?
Quality patio furniture can last for over 15 years. Let that sink in. How many times have you repurchased seating for your patio? What about for your poolside lounging? If you’re going back to the Target, Walmart, or Costco patio furniture aisles every 3-5 years, you’re definitely spending the same amount, if not more, on your outdoor seating as you would on quality, durable pieces. It’s time to break the cycle!
