Is kettler garden furniture worth it?

Hello, I'm dithering over getting some furniture for my garden, I already have a lounger and reclining chairs but thought a sofa might be nice. I keep going back to an L shaped one but wondered if,
A, do I really need it?
B, if I do need it, do I get L shaped?
C, would 3 seater and 2 armchair combo be better?
Do any of you have kettler (or similar)? I figured as they are more expensive, they may be more likely to stand the test of time..... Any help would be gratefully received!

I have a kettle corner sofa. with two extra stools. I have had it for three years and after the first flush of excitement wore off I stopped bringing the cushions inside every night. Still looks great and it is very comfortable. I don’t have anything to compare it to though

We've got Kettler wrought iron furniture and it's still looking as good as the day we bought it. It's 15 years old and left out in all weathers.

You get what you pay for with garden furniture.

@BrilloPaddy, thats very true. For now we've decided to replace our tired deck with flagstones and get furniture next year. Thanks for the replies.

I've got some kettler furniture. Yes it's expensive compared to some,but it's very good quality and looks very nice.

I've just had a Kettler Elba corner sofa delivered this week. It's very well made and the cushions are really thick and comfy. I was horrified at the cost of the cover (over £100) but again, it's really good quality. I was worried my cat would destroy it if she jumped on it but the fabric is so thick I don't think it's going to be an issue at all.

@MilduraS yes it's all expensive! Definitely worth paying for the proper covers though. I reckon next year I'll get mine. Enjoy yours!

We bought a table , chairs , sofa and parasol with speaker from the Palma range last year. We also purchased a box for the cushions and we have covers. 18 months on it looks god as new . Yes I def think it’s worth it, we debated for a while too.
I originally wanted a round table with seating. Then I had a think about what I actually would use it for and decided the more casual approach would suit us better , we def made the right choice.
