The hot weather has truly arrived across the UK, with temperatures nearing 30°C in some areas. It's the perfect time to upgrade your garden furniture before the summer rush begins and popular sets sell out.
Affordable and Colourful Outdoor Seating
For those seeking an affordable outdoor seating arrangement with a splash of colour, the Habitat Cali Four-Seater Metal Patio Set is worth considering. Currently reduced to £120, down from £150, in the Argos summer sale, it offers excellent value. The set includes a two-seater bench, two armchairs, and a compact rectangular table in a vibrant tangerine orange shade.
Weighing 24kg, customer reviews highlight how comfortable the set feels, with many praising its high-quality construction. One delighted customer remarked: "Looks fab, comfortable and great quality. Needs two people and a bit of elbow grease to assemble, but well worth it."
Dimensions and Durability
The table measures 39cm high, 45cm wide, and 85.5cm long, ideal for drinks, snacks, or board games. The legs can be detached for convenient storage. However, one reviewer noted that the Textilene fabric on their chairs and bench arrived frayed and needed to be returned. Textilene is generally durable, as it is made from polyester with a PVC coating, ensuring fade resistance, easy maintenance, and resistance to mildew and weather.
Assembly Challenges
Shoppers' main concern is assembly. The set requires self-assembly, described by many as challenging. One customer cautioned it "took a while," while another said: "It was extremely challenging, but it's well worth it." The same individual noted: "It's not orange, it's actually terracotta, which was a pleasant surprise. It's very sturdy and comfortable."
Despite grumbles, another satisfied customer wrote: "I love this set. I was worried about assembling, but I am confused what was so difficult. Perhaps you need to balance pieces above ground to align, but I assembled it by myself (female 37y) with a glass of vino in my kitchen in the middle of the night. It looks beautiful and very comfy."
