Shopfront:...and chill out on furniture that can cost from €400 for a table and chair set to over €1,000 for a teak-top table
Formality in Monkstown, Co Dublin has some of the highest quality garden furniture available. They stock Westminster, an English brand know for working with teak but which has recently diversified into using metals and mesh chair backing to some with more modern designs.
This Gemini table is one of their new models and has a teak top and aluminium legs. The fabric on the chairs is hard-wearing and wipeable. The table costs €1,516 and chairs €201 each. The chairs are lightweight and stackable (making them much easier to store than bulky wood chairs).
The table is extendable with two butterfly folding leaves that make the table longer without having to remove the parasol to do so. This is long lasting, stylish stuff and worth the money.
