No surprise that the major retail trend of the moment is garden furnishings, from outdoor heaters, to parasols, to firepits. The days are getting longer, and the weather is hinting at summer. Of course, having a well heated, well shaded garden is great - but then you need somewhere to sit and enjoy drink, or, better yet, a lingering meal. Enter, outdoor furniture - which is also flying out of warehouses.
The downside to this is that many outdoor furniture sets and tables have started to sell out, as people seek to turn their gardens into an al fresco paradise.
Here, we’ve rounded up some of the most stylish and durable outdoor furniture still in stock, so you can prepare for a long, lovely summer in your backyard.
