Nicola Gidlow, Outdoor Living Buyer comments; “Over the last few years we have seen a move away from functional, utilitarian garden furniture, as customers are now demanding a lot more from their outside space.

This year’s range of outdoor furniture provides a diverse range of styles for customers who are ‘Staycationing’ to recreate their favourite looks from holidays past in their own homes.”
