You want your patio furniture to be durable, low-maintenance, affordable and stylish. When you imagine future cookouts and family gatherings, you most likely hope your furniture serves as a practical and beautiful extension to your well-designed home. Are we right? While all of these elements are incredibly important when deciding what pieces will serve best in your backyard or on your patio, you shouldn't forget another key factor: comfort.
Just because you're outside, doesn't mean you can't still live comfortably. So for all of you who are looking to invest in new patio furniture this summer season, here are a few questions you must ask yourself when you are testing out certain pieces in your local furniture store:
Are the seats too high or don't work well with the table's height?
This is a truly important question to ask yourself. If you plan on having multiple outdoor dinner parties, you don't want everyone seated too low to the ground or feel like they are floating above the table as they eat. Go to the store with friends or your family to have people of different shapes and sizes trying out how well the height suits them.
How roomy are the chairs?
If you feel like you have to squeeze into the chair, it might not be the best choice for you or your guests. Meanwhile, if you feel that the chair is far too big, your guests may be unable to relax or eat comfortably.
What do you think about the cushions?
Cushions are the king of patio furniture comfort. If the furniture pieces you like have uncomfortable cushions you can consider replacing them, but this is an added cost and it may prove difficult to find ones that fit your chairs' dimensions. Make sure they are made of a durable, yet soft fabric as well to achieve the optimal comfort-longevity ratio.
