Advice on buying teak furniture
There are a few important things to consider when purchasing your teak garden furniture. Teak furniture is expensive, so it pays to take the time to make the right choice. Here's some advice on how to watch out for potential pitfalls.
1. Poor quality: Buying furniture from non-reputable companies can result in inferior quality furniture, often made from cheaper materials. This furniture may not be as durable and will not last as long as a higher quality piece.
2. Misleading Advertising: Many untrustworthy companies use misleading advertising to trick consumers into buying their furniture. This includes making false claims about the quality, design or materials used, which can lead to disappointment or dissatisfaction with the purchase.
3. No Guarantee: Reputable companies often offer guarantees on their products. If something happens to your furniture or it doesn't live up to your expectations in any way, many reputable companies will work with you to solve the problem. However, if you buy from a non-reputable company, if something goes wrong with your purchase, you usually have no way of repairing it.
4. Questionable Integrity: Non-reputable companies may not have their best interests at heart and are more interested in a quick sale than quality service and support.
5. Difficult item return: Unreputable companies can make it difficult to return items or get a full refund, leaving you with an unsatisfactory product and no recourse.
6. Deforestation: Without proper authentication and certification from a reputable source. All sustainable teak must carry an SVLK and FLEGT permit, guaranteeing that the teak has been harvested from sustainable sources. If you don't shop through the right channels, you may end up with inferior quality furniture that is poorly made and may have been derived from deforestation, which is unsustainable and causes major environmental damage.
7. A reputable company will usually have a physical location or premises where it will showcase its products or services. This could be a showroom, office, factory or warehouse. They may also have an online presence where customers can view and purchase their products.
Inviting customers to view the products is a sign of transparency and trust in the company's offer. In this way, customers can convince themselves of the quality of the products, ask questions and make an informed decision before purchasing. It also provides some assurance that the company is legit and not a scammer.
