When comparing the price of our urban outdoor furniture to that of big box retailers, the core question revolves around quality and long-term value, not just initial cost. Big box stores often offer lower upfront prices by utilizing mass-produced, standardized designs with materials like lightweight aluminum, thin powder coatings, and lower-density plastics or quick-grown wood. These pieces may serve well initially but are prone to fading, rusting, warping, or becoming brittle after a few seasons, leading to frequent replacement.
In contrast, our urban outdoor furniture is priced to reflect superior craftsmanship and investment-grade materials. We use commercial-grade aluminum with thick, weather-resistant finishes, sustainably sourced teak or high-performance polymer rattan, and premium outdoor fabrics with UV inhibitors. Our construction features reinforced joints, tempered glass, and meticulous attention to weld and weave quality. This results in furniture built to withstand harsh urban environments—from intense sun and pollution to heavy daily use—for a decade or more.
Therefore, while our price point may be higher than a big box store's basic set, the cost-per-use over time is significantly lower. You are investing in durable design, enduring comfort, and sustained aesthetic appeal without the cycle of annual repairs or replacements. Ultimately, our furniture offers not just a product, but a lasting outdoor living solution where quality, not just price, defines the true value.
