3. A Friend
While a second opinion is always a good thing, bringing a friend patio shopping has another practical application. Have your shopping buddy sit opposite to you at the ends of the table. Measure how far away the chairs actually are when you are both sitting comfortably. Then both of you stand up at the same time and measure how far apart the chairs are once you’ve stood up. You might be surprised, but you’ve probably added several feet to the amount of patio space your furniture really needs. There is nothing worse than having a great set, and not being able to easily use it.

I want you to have a backyard that you will love all summer long. Choosing the right furniture will help make that happen. Even if you don’t get it right the first time, make sure you deal with a reputable company, so that you can always get expert advice on what will work best for you!
