Anyone bought wooden garden furniture from Crocus?

[ICantFindAFreeNickName]

We are struggling to find a suitable wooden table & chair set locally as we don't want the really flimsy table & chairs that look like they will break if you sit on them. However we can't afford the £800+ sets that some garden centres are selling. Plus the table must be round or octagonal.

Crocus have some sets that look quite nice, but I'm not sure what the quality is like. So I wondered if anyone on here has bought anything similar from them & could give me their verdict.

Thanks

Which ones are they? We bought steamer chairs from Crocus and DH was so happy with them that he bought another 2 for his DSis. I like them less as they don't support my bad back and are very heavy to move around the garden, but I couldn't fault the quality. They weren't what I'd call cheap, though.

Sorry for the delay in responding- I could not connect yesterday. The ones we are looking at are Sandown or Worcester. These sets are about £400ish. Which i don't mind paying if they are good quality. But i would be annoyed if it's the same sort of stuff that they sell in B&Q, Tesco etc for much less money.

This will sound rather odd, but I'd be cautious about buying high quality garden chairs without trying them out first. We have some, replacing the old Habitat set, and the problem is that they are incredibly heavy. (DH bought ours cheap as they had been on display at Chelsea Flower Show, and I didn't get to see them.) It's just unpleasant for me to carry them around when I want to move them around the garden, so I've ended up keeping the collapsing Habitat chairs as well!

I bought a wooden parasol from Crocus but ended up sending it back as it was really poor quality and scratched.
I'd always try and buy furniture you can try out first, have a look at John Lewis if you want decent quality.

Thanks for that PlumSykes, that 25% off, was what was making me think I should order from Crocus.

Pannacotta thans for your comments. Unfortunately all the local places I can get to don't have what we want (or can afford). So I'm going to have to order something online without trying first. Thats why I thought Crocus might be a good option, as lots of people seem to rate it very highly.
