Has anyone bought the Fermob or Fatboy table and chairs, and if so, what did you think?

Question

I have an outdoor space that they’d look great in, but it faces west and is uncovered, so I need to know if they’ll hold up.

I love my Fermob table. I use it to make botanical mandalas, putting the plant materials in the holes. It also works well for an outside table, though it does need to be washed off regularly. It's at least 10 years old.

Thanks, I just got mine, and I love it.

I have a fermob table and chairs and they've held up well.  They don't get a lot of sun, but they do get rained on (insofar as it rains in California anymore) and they pretty much look the same as they did when I bought them about three years ago.  I hope that helps!

Makes sense - that’s cute!

Hi, AA! Yes, we have that on our back patio and you know the Texas sun as well as I do! This is more decorative for a courtyard leading up to our house. Unlikely that we will sit there much because it’s in full sun most of the day. But I still want it to look pretty. I just ordered the Fermob set https://food52.com/shop... and I’ll post back.

Hi Dr B!  I don’t know what those are (about to look them up) … our outdoor furniture has a very hard life, so we look for resin / composite materials and Sunbrella fabric.  Those tend to be the most durable.  Also look for 5” cushions, the 3” ones get squished too easily!
