plastic garden furniture
Pros:
Plastic is a material that is easily found everywhere.
It has the definite advantage of being economical: garden furniture is not expensive.
Moreover, the fact that it is a material that is easy to use by manufacturers allows them to design models that are often very aesthetic.
It is also a light material, and therefore very easy to move when needed.
These arguments are valid for both tables and chairs.
Cons:
The lightness of plastic can backfire in bad weather.
Indeed, a violent storm or a strong gust of wind can do damage to a plastic garden furniture!
In addition, first price plastic garden furniture is often not very solid and they generally deteriorate in a few years.
The metal garden furniture
Pros:
Very robust, the metal garden furniture is designed to last.
It is a suitable choice for terraces, gardens and balconies where you regularly intend to install.
The fact that there is a very large choice of models and colors makes it possible to find the one that best suits your decoration.
You can also opt for a small model that easily adapts to a modest-sized balcony.
Cons:
Metal garden furniture can be difficult to move due to its weight.
This is an observation that mainly concerns large tables, but it must be taken into account at the time of purchase.
Moreover, a model of this type is often a little more expensive than a reference in another material.
The wooden garden furniture
Pros:
If you are looking for a rustic and rural atmosphere, choosing wooden garden furniture is clearly a good choice.
As a bonus, this kind of benchmark is generally robust, if you pay the price.
You can opt for the quality of wood that fits your budget.
There are also models designed with eco-responsible materials.
The cons:
If the wooden garden furniture is generally heavy and robust enough to be able to stay outside all year round, it is sometimes necessary to maintain it to guarantee its longevity: sanding and varnishing may be necessary after a few years.
If you don't want to have to do that, it may be better to turn to another material!
Rattan garden furniture
Pros:
A very cozy atmosphere always emerges from a rattan garden furniture set.
This material is synonymous with softness.
Rattan is a natural material that has been used for a very long time to weave objects and furniture.
Once treated as it should be, it is solid and robust, and can easily find its place outside.
The cons:
The purchase of a rattan garden furniture can quickly become expensive if you want a high quality model, capable of lasting over time.
In addition, it is strongly recommended to protect such furniture in case of bad weather, because bad weather conditions can quickly damage it.
It is rather a garden furniture to be reserved for a covered terrace or to be installed under a pergola.
