Wooden Garden Furniture Sets

There is something undeniably luxurious about wooden garden furniture. Smooth natural wood grain, offset by lustrous reds and browns, delicate lattice work features and dependable old world charm. It’s beautiful, it’s hard wearing; it’s almost a part of the family.

For many, it’s something to aspire to; fortunately, its well within most home owners means to stop aspiring and start acquiring for themselves. Remember, a finely crafted table and chairs don’t just enhance your garden parties, they’ll actually enhance your garden.

When you buy wooden garden furniture, you’re investing in craftsmanship and banking on quality. It’s the gold standard of garden furniture; the benchmark!

Balau hardwood, eucalyptus, mahogany, teak; wooden garden furniture is as wide ranging and beautiful as nature itself. But that doesn’t mean it has to cost the earth. Affordable – and environmentally friendly furniture is now the norm, not the exception. Thanks to rigidly enforced sustainable growth guidelines, your wood will be cheaper for you and make better use of our resources. You can even customize your own ideal garden furniture set. Just choose your table and chairs, then add more chairs as and when you can afford it. Buying wooden furniture doesn’t have to feel like you’re having your pocket picked and your conscience pricked. So let’s dispel a few more myths…

Your garden furniture doesn’t have to be heavy, just choose your grade of wood accordingly; light balau will work better in smaller spaces, as opposed to heavier mahogany which is best reserved for bigger lawns and gardens. Rest assured that lightweight sets still manage to combine the opulence of heavy wooden furniture with all the lightweight convenience of a trestle table. Indeed, slimline tables complete with elegant fittings and smart pyramidal parasols give you unparalleled minimalist chic. No bulk, just beautiful furniture. Lightweight, canvas backed directors chairs complete the picture; it’s the perfect wooden garden suite for the style conscious and the space conscious.

Wood can even lift a dark garden. Choose clean, white New England style dinner and patio sets to illuminate your garden, without cluttering it up. Whitewashed styles are fresh and modern, but still retain the authentic charm and hardwearing solidity that you would expect from genuine wooden furniture.

Wood doesn’t even have to mean inflexible: gate leg tables fold down to half their size to fit against a wall, for simpler dining in smaller spaces. Wooden picnic furniture is also available with curved bench seats for informal dining and myriad seating possibilities. Form a wide ring, intimate circles or lay them out in a line; whatever the situation requires.

And lest you’re still clinging to the notion that wood isn’t quite so comfortable, don’t! Sculpted ergonomic chairs, posture friendly supple slats and thick luxurious cushioned seats mean that your wooden garden furniture will rival any comfy indoor chair or sofa. Many sets even come complete with multi position recliner chairs, meaning you can sit upright for dinner, recline a little for coffee, then ease out and push back for a quick siesta!

With so many modern materials to choose from, why do we keep coming back to wood? Perhaps it’s because wooden furniture combines old fashioned craftsmanship with modern design specifications. It’s hard to beat that blend of classic and cutting edge that is the hallmark of good design and great furniture. Perhaps it’s because wood wears so well; because it manages to grow old so gracefully. Or perhaps it’s just because, whatever grain you favour, whatever design you choose, you know that wooden furniture really will bring out the very best in your garden.
