A Guide to Choosing Rattan Furnishings

Considering some rattan furniture for the coming summer? Here are some great tips on what to look for from thegardenfurnitureshop.ie

Cost

Obviously, the cost is going to be one of the largest considerations in choosing your furnishings. Everyone has a budget that they must follow for everything that they buy. Unless we’ve recently won the lottery most of us have a budget that we must adhere to. That said, many people mistakenly purchase the cheapest furnishings that they can find. 

It’s important to understand that you get what you pay for and if you’re seeking quality furnishings, you’re going to have to pay for them. Sadly, cheap furnishings tend to last only for a short period of time. Their materials are sub-par and just don’t last. So it’s vital to seek out a good balance between quality and your budget. 

Reviews

When making online purchases, it’s important to take the time to read the reviews. Those reviews are the most important way to learn whether or not the product is a quality product. Read over the reviews and take the time to see if there are any patterns that people are mentioning. If a lot of people complain about a specific issue with the product, you may wish to consider a different seller. 

Complaints, especially if they are all the same type of complaint, should signal to you that the manufacturer or seller is selling something that isn’t of high quality. Complaints should set off a huge red flag to choose a different seller. 

Moda is proud to state that we have received a 5-star rating in the UK thanks to our quality product and happy customers who are continually giving us feedback on our products. 

Guarantee

Guarantees give us peace of mind. It’s important to know that should your item begin to fall apart, you’re covered and the company will repair or replace your product accordingly. Our rattan furniture is built to last and it’s high-quality. We’re confident that our goods are all high-quality and we offer a 7-year guarantee. This is given on all of our furnishings and weaves. 

Many furniture suppliers offer guarantees, however, you’ll want to read up on them and make sure that you’re getting a good guarantee from the company you’re handing your hard-earned money to. Read the reviews and find out how long a company has been in business. What type of rating do they have? If the company has only been in business for a year and they’re offering a 10-year warranty you may wonder if they’ll still be in business to honor that review. 

Delivery

Another thing to consider when buying your products is how fragile they may be for delivery. Most third-party delivery services attempt to ensure that your items are going to arrive safe and sound. With thousands of deliveries each day, it’s not uncommon for some items to receive some wear and tear en route to your home. 

This is where you’ll want to buy from a company that uses its own delivery team. That way, you know that they’ve had plenty of experience handling the products that you’re planning to buy. 

High-Quality Frame

If weather permits, you will want to spend some time outdoors with your lovely rattan garden furniture. For this reason, you’ll want to invest in durable and robust products. Some of the cheaper items on the market will have a lower price tag, don’t let that fool you. They’re made from sub-par materials that are cheap and will fall apart much more quickly. Consider that our rattan is built to last through sun, dirt, pollen, rain, and everything else that may be thrown at it. 

Our furniture is made to ensure longevity. All of our materials are commercial rust-proof aluminum. We don’t use steel because it will rust and break over time. If the frame is composed of such materials, you’ll want to look elsewhere. We manufacture our products from quality material. We use a fully welded joint and we finish all of our frames with multiple coats of high-grade paint that is powder-coated. 

High-Quality Fabrics

Fabrics will break down over time. Rattan furniture will encounter a lot of wear and tear. For this reason, it’s important to choose high-quality materials that are made to withstand the test of time. Our furniture features luxury acrylic fabrics that are machine-washable and meet all of the standards outlined in the UK fire regulations. Soft yet durable, our fabrics will withstand the test of time. 

Showrooms

It’s nice to try before you buy. One issue with e-commerce is that you can’t try before you buy. Furniture may look lovely on a computer screen, however, what if it isn’t what you thought it was? What if it’s uncomfortable or the fabric isn’t what you thought it was? We have 4 showrooms that are located in the North West so you can try it before you buy it.
