While rattan furniture looks fantastic, for sheer convenience you simply can\u2019t beat a synthetic alternative. The framing of this furniture set is made from Keter\u2019s 100% polypropylene resin meaning you\u2019ll get the naturally attractive aesthetics of rattan in a far more durable form\u2026<\/span><\/p>By definition, garden furniture is not something you want to keep dragging in and out of storage. Once you\u2019ve installed it in your yard, you need something you can set and forget. Since this resin won\u2019t rust in the rain or fade rapidly under the sun, you can happily trot indoors after an evening BBQ without worrying about the state of your chairs. <\/span><\/p>Rust not only spoils your furniture but leaves stains all over the patio so the resin is a wonderful touch. We should point out that although the furniture is resistant to fading, you can expect some color loss, especially if you live somewhere with a consistently hot climate.<\/span><\/p><\/p>
Cleaning is another area where you want a hassle-free experience with garden furniture. Keter delivers this with the Corfu set. Mix up a solution of 1 cup of white vinegar<\/span> with 6 or 7 quarts of water. Use a hose to blitz any surface debris. Soak a cloth or sponge with your cleaning solution and give the furniture a once-over. For any awkward spots, a toothbrush makes a great weapon. Make sure you dry the table and chairs once you\u2019re through and this will lessen the chance of unsightly water marks spoiling the effect.<\/span><\/p>The set comes with a pair of deep armchairs, a loveseat good for two and a coffee table for all your snacks and drinks so it\u2019s more than sufficient for most gardens.<\/span><\/p>Here are the all-important approximate dimensions:<\/span><\/p>- Armchairs: <\/b>29 x 27 x 31 inches<\/span><\/li>
- Loveseat: <\/b>50 x 28 x 31 inches<\/span><\/li>
- Coffee Table: <\/b>30 x 22 x 16 inches<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
This set is a dream to look after and comfort is also uppermost. The backs of the seats kick back so you can recline as you bask in the sun. The armrests are a generous width too. The armchairs themselves are 2 \u00bd feet wide and they\u2019ll support up to 300 pounds so they\u2019re perfect for pretty much anyone.<\/span><\/p>Two people can sit upright on the loveseat but you\u2019ll struggle to properly lie down if you prefer to be fully lateral. There\u2019s other garden furniture like a hammock if you favor spending your leisure time flat on your back.<\/span><\/p>Water-resistant cushions slip off easily but you\u2019ll be able to leave them outside and avoid the constant in-and-out which blights some garden furniture sets. That said, you should consider bringing them out of the heavy rain as they are not fully waterproof and they\u2019ll take some drying out after a storm. The corded design means the cushions are a pleasure to sit on rather than feeling like slippery plastic.<\/span><\/p>The open weave lends to first-rate airflow meaning you won\u2019t end up stuck to the back of the chair on a balmy evening. The synthetic material makes sure you won\u2019t be menaced by splinters either.<\/span><\/p>Although this is a solid set, it\u2019s lightweight enough and easy to disassemble so any requirements to pack it up and stash it away won\u2019t present you with a headache.<\/span><\/p>We\u2019ll highlight the principal advantages and drawbacks of this neat garden furniture set from Keter before serving up our verdict\u2026<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
