Discount Patio Furniture Reviews
For the ultimate in class and elegance for your patio or conservatory, the Strathwood St Thomas Cast Aluminum Swivel Discount Patio Furniture Chair Set (available on amazon here) has everything you need and more. The strength and mobility light, durable yet nonetheless visually appealing cast aluminum enables a unique swivel function for maximum comfort and versatility. In addition, these chairs are also capable of a bouncing motion. It is also worth noting that this material does not rust when left outside, however as with any piece of discount patio furniture it is recommended that you cover chairs when not in use, if the chairs are left exposed to the elements.
Design-wise, these Strathwood Chairs are intricately manufactured to an impressive degree of detail, with looped vine patterns on the reverse, a black overcoat with bronze/golden and silver accentuations. Measuring 21.5′ x 20′ x 3, the cushions are manufactured from man-made tweed, and can be securely attached by velcro (included with the set) to the chair frame. The chairs are fairly light at just over 25 lbs a piece, and so they can be carried around the patio and/or conservatory as is necessary without any trouble, or they can be easily transferred to the garage for storage when not in use. The cast aluminum chair frame has dimensions 25′ x 26.5′ x 36′, and can easily fit through most standard single door frame.
Many owners of discount patio furniture might purchase furniture, only to see its shine dwindle over a very short period of time. While the Strathwood chairs are extremely durable, they can be susceptible to damage if not taken care of properly. For instance, the man-made tweed cushions should not be left outdoors without a cover when not in use. Although the tweed does repel water and can therefore be wiped clean, the chair frame and the tweed itself will begin to show some signs of weathering if subjected to consistent, heavy storms. When dealing with high end patio furniture such as the Strathwood brand, it is surely a requirement to have at one’s disposal a patio furniture cover, since it is inconvenient at best to always have to move the furniture in and out of the garage or any similar indoor storage space you may have (e.g. shed, barn, etc.)
While these two chairs in this set would make a welcome addition to any higher class patio in their own right, the chairs form a part of the St. Thomas Discount Patio Furniture Collection by Strathwood (available on amazon here), and work best when combined with the respective dining table, side table and umbrella from this set. The St Thomas Collection bears the common dark color with subtle bronze/gold/silver accentuations and is thus designed to co-ordinate perfectly. An assembly manual is included with the package as standard, however the assembly is minimum and should not take longer than a few minutes. In addition to the dining tables, chairs and umbrella, you may also come across a Strathwood fire pit and lounger in this collection.
The Strathwood St. Thomas Cast Aluminum Swivel Chair Set (available on amazon here) is available from all leading furniture retailers worldwide, with a list price of $380.00, however we have found the best price at Amazon.com, which provides a discount of 32% – with a final price of $259.99. Although this means that it is indeed discount patio furniture at such a reduction, there is no degradation in quality in the case of Strathwood, which is why we have chosen primarily to recommend their products for the most part.
