With the improvement of domestic economic level and the rise of people's living standards, the concept of outdoor leisure life has spread and spread in first and second tier cities. Outdoor leisure life is essentially a cultural dissemination that advocates a simple, natural, and outdoor lifestyle that moves from indoors to outdoors. It is currently popular in European and American countries, and has also been widely introduced in China.

Outdoor leisure life cannot be separated from outdoor leisure furniture. People always have a vague understanding of outdoor furniture and leisure furniture, and cannot distinguish between good and bad. Below, the editor has collected information for your reference. I hope this article can provide objective guidance for you to choose outdoor furniture, leisure furniture, and enjoy outdoor leisure life in the future. If there are any non objective aspects, we also hope that everyone can criticize and correct them.

Outdoor furniture and leisure furniture are classified according to their types of use, including umbrellas, pavilions, outdoor tables and chairs, outdoor sofas, bar chairs, outdoor lounge chairs, swing baskets, outdoor flower boxes, barbecue ovens, park chairs, trash cans, and other outdoor products. Below, we will provide a detailed explanation of the further classification, materials, and new features of these products, to ensure that friends who are not yet beginners but want to learn about outdoor furniture have a bright future.

Let's talk about outdoor tables and chairs

Outdoor tables and chairs are generally divided into rattan woven tables and chairs, solid wood tables and chairs, cast tables and chairs, environmentally friendly wood (also known as plastic wood, imitation wood, rubber wood) tables and chairs, as well as aluminum alloy glass tables and so on.

The materials used for the skeleton of rattan woven tables and chairs generally include iron pipes, aluminum alloy pipes, and stainless steel pipes. The rattan is made of imitation rattan, also known as imitation rattan tables and chairs. We usually refer to it as PE rattan, and the material of the rattan varies greatly, from domestic to imported. Caoxian Hongyu Furniture Materials produces various types of rattan, as well as secondary recycling. Almost all of them use PVC rattan, which is too professional for you to carefully understand. In short, everyone should not mistakenly think that the appearance is similar, so adding the price is about the same. There are many carefully decorated pictures online, with similar appearances but significant price differences. Some more professional friends may request more, such as special shapes, the color and shape of the rattan, weaving methods, cushion cloth, and other requirements that can also affect the price. In addition, weaving can also affect the details of rattan woven tables and chairs, and good products will definitely pay attention to the details of weaving. It should be mentioned here that many manufacturers or merchants often mislead consumers, even though it is an iron pipe but they tell everyone it is a steel pipe. This statement is not entirely wrong, but consumers often mistake it for stainless steel, but in fact, it varies greatly.

Solid wood tables and chairs are generally made of anti-corrosion wood, camphor wood, cherry wood, South American double column beans and fragrant fruit wood, and grapefruit

Wood, pineapple. Solid wood outdoor tables and chairs made of anti-corrosion wood are generally inexpensive, and are most commonly used in outdoor beer gardens. The solid wood outdoor tables and chairs made of camphor wood belong to the upper middle class, and are also commonly used in hotel real estate. Teak wood is the highest quality wooden material for outdoor furniture, and the price is also relatively expensive. Solid wood outdoor tables and chairs are more commonly used outdoors in southern China, usually bordered by the Yangtze River. This is because the weather in the north is dry, especially in winter when it is cold and rainy. Solid wood tables and chairs are prone to cracking when used outdoors, which is not conducive to maintenance. Therefore, here is a sincere suggestion for everyone. Northern friends should try to choose rattan woven tables and chairs or cast tables and chairs when choosing outdoor tables and chairs. If you really want to choose solid wood, you should also choose a better one, with teak being the best.

Casting tables and chairs, with the characteristics of being less prone to rust and durable, has been widely used in outdoor hotels, real estate, and catering in recent years. They are generally produced through processes such as mold casting, polishing, powder spraying, and painting. Casting tables and chairs are generally divided into cast iron tables and chairs and cast aluminum tables and chairs. Cast iron tables and chairs require high craftsmanship, and the prices of good cast iron tables and chairs and cast aluminum tables and chairs are comparable. Although cast aluminum tables and chairs may seem to be made of cast aluminum material, the price can vary greatly depending on the manufacturing process. Some low-quality cast aluminum tables and chairs add sand to the raw materials during the casting process, making it difficult for laypeople to see the difference from the appearance. Even from the outside, the cast aluminum tables and chairs made of sand may appear stronger, but over time, these cast aluminum tables and chairs are prone to breakage. So when consumers make a purchase, no matter where they buy from, they must carefully understand and not be deceived by the appearance of cast aluminum tables and chairs.

There is also a type of outdoor table and chair that has been widely used in recent years. That is PS imitation wood tables and chairs, also known as environmentally friendly wood tables and chairs, plastic wood tables and chairs, and gluewood tables and chairs. Overall, they are artificially synthesized tables and chairs made of a material that looks like solid wood. As for what the raw materials are, I won't go into detail with everyone (mainly plastic box sawdust). Generally speaking, good environmentally friendly wood (also known as plastic wood, imitation wood, or gluewood) tables and chairs are tested by relevant national departments. When used outdoors, they are not easy to bubble and have no odor. Poor quality environmentally friendly wood (also known as plastic wood, imitation wood, or gluewood) tables and chairs, when used outdoors, will bubble and produce a strange odor after being exposed to sunlight, and may even pose a threat to health.

In addition, iron glass tables and chairs, as well as aluminum alloy glass tables and chairs, are widely used in outdoor dining due to their low cost and lightweight design.

Outdoor leisure sofas (also known as lazy sofas in designer circles, which is quite accurate) are widely used as sets of furniture in outdoor courtyards, and have been favored by real estate, hotels, and personal villas for their spacious and comfortable advantages. The material of the rattan sofa is the same as that of the rattan table. But the design of rattan sofas has more room for transformation than rattan tables and chairs. It can be made into a single person sofa, a two person sofa, a three person sofa, and can also be made into a spliced sofa. In short, various shapes, various weaving methods, and various vines can be freely transformed. In addition, cast aluminum sofas are also widely used outdoors. In recent years, an emerging material, outdoor anti-corrosion woven sofas made of woven tape, has gradually become popular.

Outdoor bars are often used in leisure places such as outdoor restaurants/cafes. Common outdoor bars include solid wood bars, rattan bars, and cast bars, which will not be elaborated here.

Outdoor lounge chairs are generally used next to the swimming pool in real estate hotel clubs. Common types include solid wood lounge chairs, rattan woven lounge chairs, and cast lounge chairs. Outdoor swings are also a common type of leisure furniture used outdoors. Common swings are divided by material: rattan woven swings, solid wood swings, and iron swings; According to the number of users, it can be divided into single person swings, double person swings, and triple person swings. The price of a swing is not particularly expensive, usually ranging from 600 to 2000. You can choose it freely, and the main consideration is to ensure safe use.

In addition, a large family of outdoor furniture and leisure furniture is courtyard accessories, which have the most variety and are dazzling. For example, various courtyard decorations, rattan flower boxes/solid wood flower boxes, solid wood floats, heaters, solid wood fences, outdoor solid wood flooring, mosquito lamps, trash cans, park chairs, barbecue ovens, and so on. Ultimately, these products cannot be separated from the use of some materials from conventional products. After making a purchase, it is necessary to compare multiple options.

Finally, I hope this article can give everyone a basic understanding of outdoor furniture, so that they won't be so confused when choosing. In conclusion, please believe that any product is worth what you pay for. Different occasions require different grades of products, and the same applies to outdoor furniture/leisure furniture.
