Does anywhere have garden furniture in stock?

[funtimefrank]

I fear I have left it too late. Everywhere obvious is out of stock.

I want an outdoor dining set. Round table basically for 4 but can squeeze in a fifth. Ideally with a hole for a parasol but that's not the end of the world.

Chairs need to be comfy ish so some kind of cushion/seat pad. Wood ideally but deffo not plastic.

Budget wise I'd prefer not to spend much more than £600 but could stretch a bit.

I can find loads that fit the bill but every bloody set is out of stock. Trolled around garden centres and they have nothing. Places like B&Q and Homebase all out of stock. Have gone through Wayfair and found a couple of possible sets but I don't love them and have seen better for the price so I don't want to spend my cash on something that's not exactly what I want just for the sake of it. Even IKEA - great set but not available.

First world problem I totally appreciate but where else can I look?

How about this, not sure if you could squeeze 6 round it. No cushions though.

I got a set off eBay- new but it was expensive. There’s a national shortage but I think they’re expecting stock soon.

I've had the same issue OP!

I saw loads of things in Argos that I liked but were out of stock.

Have you been to your local garden centres? Dobbies, Azure etc? Ours have a good selection of rattan stuff in atm which is where I ended up getting mine.

I've just discovered Manomano.co.uk and it's great. It's a shop front for a whole lot of smaller brands and has lots of reasonably priced home and garden stuff. I've just bought two garden rockers and a side table set and it's lovely 😊

@pinkearedcow you absolute beauty!

Exactly what we needed, right size and got great reviews so I've bought it.

@Puppylucky thanks for that. I need loungers too so will take a look.

Thanks everyone

Oh, I am so pleased I could help! I noticed it this morning when I was browsing for a parasol. Guess what- the one I wanted was out of stock.

La Redoute does, ordered a table and 4 set this week. Delivery won't be super fast, but no indication of stock problems.

IKEA?

We've got garden furniture ordered in early March, initially expected delivery early April, now told mid-May at earliest - lots of hold ups due to container issues (Suez/Brexit).

We have had luck for teak furniture from a local company that normally does the county shows, which of course haven't happened last year or this, so he drives around finding people with gardens and knocking on doors. Got a lovely teak bench and mature olive tree last month this way! greendalefurniture.com (but prices will be inflated - he was offering 40% off list price, plus you can always try to haggle).

None of our local garden centres have stock - they aren't taking orders and they won't sell their displays either

Try rathwood.co.uk

Was in my local B&Q over the weekend, they had a lot. Have you been in to a store and enquired if they can deliver?

I’ve just got one from IKEA. It kept saying out of stock but I kept checking and managed to order one
