Fermob garden furniture

Does anyone have Fermob garden furniture? If so, would you recommend? How durable is it, and do you need to cover it in the winter?

I've been on the hunt for something perfect for my garden, and I've finally found it on Fermob, but is is £££. I don't mind paying the money - but only if I'm sure it's actually going to last! I've generally read really good things about the brand, but the Trust Pilot reviews are really, really poor and that's making me nervous.

Love those armchairs and the colours. Aluminium furniture won’t rust and can be left outside. Some of the dining chairs look more flimsy.
You’d need a store for the cushions.
We’ve had an outdoor lounge set from John Lewis for a couple of years. Still looks new. Left outside all year minus cushions.
I wouldn’t expect to have to assemble them at that price though.

That's good to know - thanks, @24Dogcuddler

It's dining furniture I want. I'd love a lounge set, but we just don't have room in our little patio garden.

I want a circular, non-wood, non-flimsy, 120cm(ish) dining table with a parasol hole that can be left outside all year, and that has a top level/stable enough that wine glasses don't wobble. I also don't want anything with a 'skirt' around the legs (like this one has), I find they just get in the way.

I don't need a funky colour, but I do like them, so that's another tick for Fermob.

This is the table I like the best: https://www.worm.co.uk/collections/fermob/products/montmartre-117cm-table
Though I really don't like those chairs - I agree they look uncomfortable. I'm not bothered about having a matching set though, and our current chairs are fine for now. I'll worry about chairs when I've found a table!

That looks lovely. We are moving soon and will have room for the lounge set and a dining area.
These chairs look comfy and would go with your table. Promise I don’t work for John Lewis!

We are looking at this dining set. They do one with a parasol. Might be a bit old fashioned for you?

We wanted something we could leave out all year that didn’t need us to get cushions out and chairs where rain wouldn’t settle.

Oh yes, those chairs are really nice! And less bulky than the ones I currently have. Thanks for the tip!

Take a look at Sklum. We’ve got the Eres chairs - they are comfy and out all year here. I’ve had them for years. The Valerie table may suit you (but has no parasol hole). I protect it with a fitted top cover from Amazon in the winter. I’d buy from them again.

Thanks, @Mamamia35 - I love their furniture, but a parasol hole is a must. We don't have space for a free standing one, and our small-but-perfectly-formed patio garden has no natural shade, so we'll fry without one!

The chairs are lovely though - thanks for the tip!
