Madbury Road vs The Competition
Who Makes The Best Outdoor Furniture?
Shopping online for the most durable outdoor furniture can be a daunting process. There’s a wide range of prices and quality, making it difficult to determine which pieces are best for your space. While it’s easy for companies to stage a good looking picture, the reality is not all patio furniture is created equal.
Outlined below are some of the most important details to look out for when searching for durable modular outdoor furniture, to ensure your furniture is made with high quality materials that are built to last.
Assembly:
One of the main differences between Madbury Road and the competition is that all Madbury Road lounge furniture arrives completely assembled. This includes our entire product line, except for dining tables. Simply open the box, unwrap the pieces and enjoy.
In comparison, some of our competitors require more complex assembly processes, with multiple parts and tools needed to put their furniture together. This can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially if you're not particularly handy. The assembly process also rarely meets the standards of factory-assembled furniture.
.
Hardware:
At Madbury Road, we use only high-quality, rustproof hardware in our outdoor sectional furniture. We understand that the hardware is what holds the furniture together, so it's important to use the best possible materials. Our hardware is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring that it will last for years without rusting or deteriorating. Since our products are assembled at our factories, the hardware is thoughtfully covered and out of sight.
In comparison, many of our competitors use lower-quality hardware made from less durable materials, which can break or rust over time. Also, since most other options are shipping unassembled furniture, the results are a final product that has visible hardware. Exposed screws not only take away from the overall aesthetic of the piece, but are also more prone to rust.
.
Cushion Size:
Another key difference between Madbury Road and the competition is our focus on cushion size. Our cushions are larger than those of many of our competitors, providing greater comfort and support for outdoor lounging. The single most important function of outdoor furniture is comfort. All high end outdoor furniture brands will have thick cushions. At Madbury Road this means 6-7” thick cushions. Our seat cushions are made of quick-drying foam and our back pillows are filled with a plush polyester blend, resulting in ultimate comfort and durability.
In comparison, some of our competitors offer cushions that are smaller or thinner, making them less comfortable for extended use. The downfall of many outdoor furniture brands is that they use thin cushions that only last a season or two before losing their shape.
.
Cushion Details:
At Madbury Road, we pay close attention to the details of our cushions to ensure maximum comfort and durability. Our cushions are made from high-quality foam, which is wrapped in a layer of soft batting to provide additional cushioning. We also use Sunbrella® outdoor fabrics, which are designed to withstand the elements and resist fading. We wrap our zippers around the edges of the cushions for easy slipcover removal and machine washing.
In comparison, many competitors use lower-quality foam and alternative fabrics, which can break down over time and become less comfortable and supportive.
.
Frames:
Finally, our frames are another key point of difference between Madbury Road and the competition. Our teak outdoor furniture frames are made with the same solid, grade A teak that you see on the rest of the frames. Many competitors are using mesh or straps underneath the cushions (since they are typically out of site), but this results in a less sturdy product and those materials are prone to sagging over time.
Overall, these are just a few of the main differences between Madbury Road and the competition in terms of assembly, hardware, cushion size, cushion details, and frames. We believe that these differences make our outdoor furniture the best choice for anyone looking for high-quality, durable, and comfortable outdoor furniture that will stand the test of time.
