Looking for Garden Furniture

[sparkythecat]

We're looking to buy a decent patio furniture set. We've been to Hayes at Ambleside, Dobbies at Preston and a few of the big retail sheds and haven't found anything that we really want.
Does anyone know of anywhere else where they have a large display of garden furniture?

Check John Lewis's website out. Plenty in plenty of ranges in their.

Thanks for your suggestions chaps. T'internet is great for many things, but when it comes to furniture, my experience is that you you really need to try before you buy.

Bents Garden Centre, www.bents.co.uk

I used to work there - it's a little pricey but they have some really nice stuff in.

I live near Bents, so often pop in. if you look carefully you can often find the same stuff on the web for up to half price. Certainly the case with their oak furniture!

Worth going and having a look, just avoid at weekends if you can !

PS. It seems like everyone I know under the age of 30 has worked there at some stage

Went to Shackletons today. They had on display an enormous amount of garden furniture. Far more than we've seen anywhere else.
The staff were friendly and professional and promised to price match if we could find the same stuff cheaper elsewhere. All in all an excellent retail experience and top PH recommendation.

In the end we chose this cast aluminium patio set.
