The thing I liked about Faraway Furniture is the fact that they specialise in teak and are not a general garden store. They all obviously have been trained about teak and teak products and they know what they are talking about. I called about a teak garden set planning on asking lots of questions but instead I found myself being asked questions by the lady on the phone. She asked the size of the patio, shape, colour of the brick work and more. In the end, she recommended a smaller set then the one I called for. She claimed that the one I wanted was just too large and she was right. We went for the slightly smaller set and we are now extremely happy with the advice as we actually have room to pull the chairs back enough without going over the patio and the set is not ‘over crowding’ our patio while being large enough for as many guests as we need. Sound and honest advice.

We also bought a dining set from faraway. It had a small scratch when it arrived so the drivers took it away and promised a new one the next day. To my amazement they arrived first thing in the morning the next day with a new table and everything is now perfect. I have recommended them to a few friends who also received similarly good service. Another good company for your record is http://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/ if you need to treat your wood.

Just wanted to say that we bought teak garden furniture set from http://www.farawayfurniture.co.uk and we also could not be happier with the quality and service. Shame that we had to go through 2 other companies before deciding to give them a chance (they were a bit more expensive and we kept falling for the grade A description on the other sites where it was clearly nothing but grade A). The quality from faraway was exceptional and made the other two teak sets we bought from Humber and Wessex look like it was made from cardboard. Highly recommended.

Wow that is a great deal. I know how hard it can be to find good solid wood furniture (as opposed to veneered rubberwood) and at that price too.

I hope you write more about this set when you get it home
