There are so many places to choose from when it comes to shopping for patio furniture and accessories. Many people choose the convenience of big box stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, Kohl’s or Target, but what they don’t take into consideration is, the long term value. Convenience is just an easy, quick fix for an immediate reward in our busy life’s, but often times going that extra mile, and spending a little more will actually save you time and money later on.
Long Term
You can think of luxury patio furniture as a long term relationship. They are built to last for many years, through all of your life events; raising kids, family-get-togethers, parties, moving houses and years of harsh weather conditions. Luxury outdoor patio furniture is what that will be around when you no longer are, passed on to your children and taking residence in their homes. Big box patio furniture on the other hand, typically has a 2 to 3 year life span. After 20 years and the 10th patio set later, you have spent close to triple the price of one high-end collection.
Warranties
Places like Target and Home Depot lack in the area of warranties. They either don’t offer a warranty, like Target and JCPenney, or offer only a small, one-year-warranty, like Home Depot and Kohl’s. One-year-warranties are great for products that will not see a lot of wear and tear but outdoor patio furniture must live through a variety of different weather conditions. Direct sunlight, heavy, prolonged rain, strong winds and many times even hail.
