- Conservatory furniture that has fabric which is resistant to the suns rays will keep their appearance much longer.
- Bear in mind that the conservatory is often an extension of the garden so choose conservatory furniture that is lightweight so it can be easily carried in the garden, ideal for outdoor parties.
- Choose a hard wearing table surface such as glass for your conservatory as it will be used for everything from dinner parties to kids homework
