How Can You Buy Cheap Garden Furniture?

By Owen Jones


If you love spending time in your garden and want a set of garden furniture in order to take advantage of the lovely summer weather, it can be quite depressing when you go out to look at the prices of garden furniture, particularly if you are on a budget. And who is not on a budget these days? However, there is a way to obtain cheap garden furniture and still end up with something that you can be proud of.

I would like you to be very wary of lies. I have just finished reading an advert offering an 'authentic teak (garden furniture) set' that normally sells for about $4,500 for $29.97! Anyone that believes this sort of rubbish is a sad case indeed. Later on in the advert, they admit that the wood is not teak, but is 'constructed of hardwoods comparable to teak'.

In fact, I do not believe that either. The writer has already told one lie and so is obviously deceitful. If ever you find a hole in someone's advertising you ought to look elsewhere, especially on the Internet and particularly if the shop is not in your town so that you cannot go and visit it.

Regrettably, there are lots of liars on the Internet and they are giving the honest merchants a bad reputation. Many of them live in poor countries that have little or no Internet or business regulation. Places like Eastern Europe, China, Africa, South America and South-Eastern Asia.

If the standard of English in the advertisement is poor, go elsewhere. It is a pity for the honest person who does not speak English well, but a lot safer for you. Another check would be to send the proprietor an email.

If they do not respond, give them a wide birth. If they do respond, check their Internet Provider's (IP) address. The IP address is a group of four numbers and the first group gives the country of origin of the email.

Be very careful of offers that seem to be too good to be true. Rich people purchase teak patio furniture at $4,500. Why do they pay that much? Because the best teak furniture costs that much. How can rich people afford that much? Because they have good jobs. How do they get good jobs? Because they are not stupid. If you could buy genuine teak furniture for $29.97, they would have it as well.

So, if you can only afford to buy cheap garden furniture, buy the best quality plastic furniture that you can find and do not get sucked in by these conmen that are trying to trick you that you can have a top of the market hardwood garden furniture set for $30. You cannot; and never will be able to; and probably never have been able to either.
