7 Reasons to Buy Quality Patio Furniture

Creating an outdoor retreat in your backyard is a worthwhile investment that will provide a relaxing and inviting space for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy. The selection of patio furniture is crucial in achieving your perfect setting and should focus on comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Imagine stepping onto your patio and settling into a comfortable chair to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee. Envision a fire table surrounded by cozy seating to create conversations into the night. Picture a lounge chair beside a sparkling pool, perfect for an afternoon nap. Our goal is to inspire you to turn your outdoor dreams into reality.

Now is an ideal time to purchase high-quality patio furniture and transform your backyard into an oasis. Designing your outdoor space is more than simply selecting visually appealing furniture. It’s about investing in the perfect materials that will withstand the elements and everyday use to give long-lasting enjoyment for many seasons to come.

1. Look for an easy purchase process and assistance.

When purchasing patio furniture, it's important to carefully plan your choices and make sure you have quick access to answers for any questions that might arise. Outdoor furniture stores that offer high-quality products generally provide more straightforward and helpful answers to your questions, which adds to a positive shopping experience. The design associates at these stores are knowledgeable about different materials, space utilization, layout, and other important aspects to realizing your backyard dreams. Bring measurements and photos of your outdoors to the showroom – it’s encouraged.

Visiting an in-store location gives you immediate contact with the furniture. You can touch the frames and fabrics and sit back into the different pieces. In a showroom, you can receive prompt assistance whenever you need it, which is a significant advantage when shopping with a retailer focused on top-notch patio furniture.

2. Rest easy with materials that withstand the elements.

You want materials that are designed to withstand the harshest outdoor environments. Quality materials make the difference. Some outdoor furniture is made with materials that may only last a season or two, which is why it's important to do your research. Most of the materials that quality furniture stores offer are able to withstand any harm from summer’s heat and sun, or winter’s harshest elements. There's nothing more infuriating than sitting down on your outdoor sofa only to find a hole in a two-year-old cushion. What you thought was the best wicker patio furniture might not be so.

Bliss fabric is an example of a high-quality fabric that provides durability without compromising on comfort or beauty. The durable solution-dyed acrylic fabric is resistant to water, fading and stains. Popular furniture frame materials include aluminum, all-weather wicker, resin teak, and iron, but not all materials are the same from store-to-store. Paddy O’ Furniture designs its aluminum frames with extra protections built in to counter UV rays. We do the same for our all-weather wicker frames. It’s why we can offer longer warranties than what you’ll find elsewhere.

Always check the warranty on the cushions and frames you're being shown. What will happen if you need a replacement? Will the same cushion be available after three years? Will the company still be around, and will they be able to assist you with prompt replacements?

3. It’s backed by the company’s reputation.

From warranties and worry-free return policies to a knowledgeable staff, it's important to find a company that stands behind its products. When you buy patio furniture, you're investing in years of memory making. You want a company to help you select the furniture pieces that bring your outdoor vision to life. You can usually tell right away when you walk in the door. Do the associates seem truly interested in helping you? Do they learn about your preferences and understand the bigger picture?

Companies build their reputations by helping clients work toward solutions as opposed to simply selling. A company that cares should be just as excited as you to get your products home. This level of care and passion is most apparent with quality products because the company believes in the value of long-term investments.

4. There will likely be less ownership costs.

Quality comes with a price tag, but it’s worth it. We’ve all experienced it before – we've found a great deal on something new, only to end up paying for it later when we have to fix, repair, or replace the item. It’s a common mistake for consumers to only compare prices, and not compare quality. High-quality materials are in a different league than cheaper offerings because they’re built to last, and come with warranties to back the quality and ensure customer satisfaction. While some items may save you money initially, they can end up costing you more over time.

 5. Get better customer service.

Customer satisfaction is an important value at top-notch companies. At Paddy O' Furniture, it is one of our core values. When you shop at a place that sells luxury goods and high-quality products and services, you can expect to receive white-glove treatment. Companies like ours understand how customers want assurances and worry-free purchase policies.

 6. And better warranties.

When you invest in quality patio furniture, it should come with unmatched warranties . You want a company that stands behind their products. And if something were to happen to your furniture, it's good to know your investment is protected. Paddy O’ Furniture offers industry-leading warranties!

7. Quality furniture doesn’t feel minimized.

When shopping for furniture at a store known for lower prices, the offerings may seem too good to be true at first glance. Upon closer inspection, you may find that they are indeed too good to be true. When you sit in the chairs and sofas, they may feel small and less than sturdy. Items you purchased online may appear great, but may also feel small and unsteady upon assembly. One way companies lower costs on designer-looking furniture is to make their pieces on a smaller scale.

In contrast, quality patio furniture is strong. You want commercial-grade durability with resort-style comfort. When you invest in premium patio furniture, you won’t feel cramped when you dine al fresco or relax to watch the game. At Paddy O’ Furniture, we only put forth sturdy pieces that are built to give you years of outdoor use.

Consider the case of a client who acquired furniture from a big-box retailer and experienced ripped cushions after just two seasons, and couldn’t purchase replacement cushions. Contrast this with the difference she experienced with pieces from our Rancho collection. It filled her space – and she had peace of mind knowing it was built to deliver years of enjoyment.
