I recently had the opportunity to visit the home of a friend who had purchased a Carter Grandle patio furniture. I have to admit that I was surprised by the quality of materials and workmanship, so I decided to take a closer look at Carter Grandle’s furniture.
Based in Florida, Carter Grandle has been manufacturing fine home furnishings, including patio furniture, daybeds, chairs, umbrellas and much more, for several years.
As some people may know, the company has recently come out of a difficult financial time. In November 2006 they had to close their plant temporarily due to 3 main customers filing for bankruptcy. However, Carter Grandle was able to secure additional funding and began production again a month later in December 2006.
The company originally started in 1988. They sell their furniture through their store in Sarasota, FL and have an amazing mail order business and internet presence.
You can order anything they produce over the Internet. This makes shopping a breeze for anyone across the country. Their website features a full line of products along with pictures and full details on each product they offer.
As an example, the Carter Grandle line of patio furniture is available in many different styles, colors, and materials. My friend had beautiful dark brown wicker chairs that came with well-padded cushions that were extremely comfortable.
The quality of the patio table and chairs was what really stood out to me. They were built like a solid rock. You can see and feel the difference in workmanship. It wasn’t like some of the cheap, wobbly outdoor furniture you so often find in discount stores.
If you’re looking for quality and comfort in outdoor furniture and supplies, you might want to take a serious look at Carter Gradle patio furniture.
