My Apology



I'm sorry to inform everyone that there is no video footage of furniture assembly as promised in my last post. As I said in my last post, we where waiting for the store that advertised the product to get the stock in. After waiting an entire week we received a phone call saying that the furniture that they advertised was no longer available. It amazes you how these company's get away with this type of false advertising. To cut a long story short they offered us the display set at a discount. I suppose all was not lost. So that is why I can not supply footage of furniture assembly. It's pretty hard to assemble something that is already made. From past experience with assembling furniture, you have to remember that the majority of what you buy is mass produced. there will be flaws. Not just in the finish of the product, but also in the parts, joints and fittings, so it is always best to have a few friends on hand to assist you with the construction side of things. Whether they are there just to hold pieces together while you screw or bolt things together. It is also wise to have a few cold drinks ready so that you can thank your friends for helping you and also christen your new patio furniture at the same time. I do have a photo of the furniture we purchased that I can show you. You could say we where lucky in one way, we could have a drink sooner.

Assembling Furniture Part 1


First of all I'd like to thank the people that are following me. There is not much point having a blog if no one reads it, so thank you.
Later this week I will to have some video footage of the construction a outdoor metal furniture setting like the one pictured with this blog. I will also highlight some of the "do's and don't's" in assembling your new furniture item if it comes in kit form, as most of them now days do for transport reasons. I will also be able to give a first hand account and be able to convey to you any of the problems that we encounted.
I would have been able to provide the video footage sooner, but like every good plan you make, something has to go wrong. When we went to collect the furniture in kit form it was not in stock. I hate it when they advertise products and don't have it in stock when you go to purchase them. It seems we just have to wait.
So I'll leave you now for the time being and stay in touch for the construction video footage later this week.

Outdoor Metal Furniture


Outdoor metal furniture is the easiest to maintain because all you need is some glass cleaner and a hose and you're done! It's best to consider how much time you're willing to take out to maintain the setting. Timber does require maintenance and although oiling a setting is dead easy, it can be a pain in the bum, as it needs to be done if you leave it outside to face the elements.
So if you like long lasting, stylish patio entertainment furniture,I highly recommend the purchase of outdoor metal furniture.
