Garden furniture

[jane1511]

Any recommendations for decent quality garden furniture which does not cost as much as grade A teak from a decent source supplier? We don't really want to buy low quality teak but are not prepared to pay £2k for a garden table and chairs, so are looking for some alternatives.

Any suggestions for where to look or what to look for? Any other hardwoods that anyone would recommend which are cheaper? Or any good quality metal furniture that you would recommend.

We'd like something that would last for ages and tend to prefer classic looking things rather than anything really funky/modern....

Thanks!

I noticed some in Ikea last week. I remember looking at the price and being shocked at how affordable. Unfortunately we were on our way out and in a rush so I didnt get a close up look at it to see quality nor do I know how/where the wood is sourced. It may be worth investigating though.

We got a teak set of eBay. But I suspect better bargains are to be had at the end of the summer
