A Springtime Backyard Overhaul Courtesy Of Villa Outdoors & SUNVILLA!

Do you spend a lot of time in your backyard? As the owner of a pool home in Florida, my family is outside enjoying our backyard weekly, if not almost DAILY. With that being said, having great outdoor furniture is not just a request, but practically a necessity. Unfortunately, when purchasing our original outdoor furniture set I was more concerned with overall cost rather than quality and ensuring the products were made with durable materials. This oversight ended up biting me one I realized our furniture was not only slowly falling apart [as evident by the taped and bending ottoman leg in the image below], but also severely rusting. Thankfully I came across Villa Outdoors and SUNVILLA. Let’s dive right into why selecting outdoor furniture made of durable materials from reputable companies is 100% the way to go, shall we?

BEFORE. Our patio set was old, rusting and falling apart as evident by the taped up ottoman leg. The seating also didn’t meet our needs.

Now that I knew not to search for outdoor furniture simply with the lowest price tag, I wanted to find a company that offered a variety of options made from durable materials that also met the needs of what I needed as far as seating size. My old outdoor set was small and cheaply made, so I knew I needed something larger and better constructed. Thus, Villa Outdoors became the company of my backyard furniture dreams!

Not only does Villa Outdoors offer a wide variety of patio furniture options from all-weather wicker, to rustproof aluminum, fire pits and more, they are also customizable to meet your specific needs! Whether your outdoor space is small, very large or somewhere in-between, Villa Outdoors can help you make your space amazing and just how you want it!

Shipping is also fast and free with delivery typically under two weeks and assembly is not required! All pieces come fully assembled, you just simply attach the sectional pieces how you want them and that’s it!

Everything was delivered within two weeks of ordering!

The deliverymen were kind enough to bring everything off of the truck and directly into our backyard.

It might look a little crazy but I promise it wasn’t bad at all to get everything out of these boxes and set-up!

All furniture pieces require minimal set-up with NO actual assembly required, which was SO nice!

Set-up of the sectional was incredibly easy and required minimal effort!

The sectional pieces only required these for set-up. It was so quick and easy to attach the sectional pieces together!

Since my two major issues with my previous outdoor furniture was lack of durability and overall smaller size than what we needed, I made sure to go with Villa Outdoors “Parker Aluminum Sectional Set with Coffee Table- 7 Seat.”

“This versatile sectional set is perfect for any sizedspaces! Make it your own by moving around one of the sectional pieces to create your own configuration. The rustproof aluminum construction and all-weather Sunbrella or Olefin fabric make it perfect for use all year round, while theseven modular seating pieces provide plenty ofroom for guests. The coffee table is also included, making this an ideal set for entertaining.”

This set not only is visually beautiful and sleek, it also meets our needs as far as seating. It also has incredible durability and can stand up to the elements since it is made from rustproof aluminum and the cushions are weather and fade-resistant. Still not fully convinced why an outdoor furniture set made from rustproof aluminum is worth the purchase?

[Description below taken directly from the Villa Outdoors website]

“Rustproof aluminum is a fantastic material that won't develop patches of rust, even after months of rain and humidity. Aluminum is rust-resistant and doesn't show any damage due to oxidation over time. Unlike other materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum has no iron and thus, will not rust. However, it's important to note that aluminum can corrode after years of exposure to elements. The best way to keep your rustproof aluminum furniture in top shape is to apply a clear coating over the surface to prevent constant exposure. We powder-coat & seal all aluminum to prevent corrosion. This powder-coating/sealing process also enables the aluminum to remain a comfortable temperature even when exposed to direct sunlight.”

How gorgeous are these Villa and SUNVILLA pieces?!

While the Parker Aluminum set definitely added additional seating to what we previously had in my outdoor space, we wanted to add just two more options for guests. Villa Outdoors makes it incredibly easy to mix and match pieces and sets so I decided to add in the “Parker Aluminum Armless Conversation Set.” This conversation set effortlessly paired with the sectional set and allowed us to fully maximize our patio space with the perfect amount of seating made from beautiful, durable materials!

I also decided to place the ottomans from the sectional set in front of each of the armless chairs to create a “lounge” style of seating for anyone wanting to simply lay back and relax as you will see in photos below. The best part? You can just move them freely as you wish since they aren’t attached!

The addition of the armless chair set was so nice to add additional seating! We paired these with the ottomans from the 7-piece set and also put the coffee table from the 7-piece set with them.

In addition to the Parker Aluminum 7-piece set and Armless Conversation Set, we also added in a gorgeous fire pit table. Villa Outdoors has a very large selection of standalone fire pits and fire pit sets to choose from. We wanted something to utilize as a coffee table OR fire pit table so we went with the Slatted Steel Fire Pit which comes in two colors; black or cream. This table is not only sleek and gorgeous, it conceals a propane tank and serves as a coffee table all at once with a removable lid.

Since our Parker Aluminum 7-piece set already came with a coffee table, we decided to make the fire pit table our primary coffee table for the sectional and paired the original coffee table with the Armless Conversation Set.

Since all of the furniture was being completely replaced with gorgeous, highly-durable pieces from Villa Outdoors, why not get rid of that old umbrella as well. Am I right? Thankfully SUNVILLA was able to provide us with a brand new, premium 11’ Round Offset Umbrella made of durable materials, to completely meet our needs!

Not only does this umbrella have a hand-crank for easy opening and closing, it also has a foot pedal for 360 degree rotation and a an infinite position vertical tilt. The all aluminum construction ensures long term use and durability. The fabric canopy in Sunbrella® Cast Shale is also quick to dry and incredibly easy to care for.

Now that we have fully replaced out cheap, old patio set with brand new, durable pieces from Villa Outdoors and SUNVILLA, let’s do a “before” and “after”, shall we?

Not only does our outdoor space look nicer and more cohesive, we actually have high-quality, premium outdoor furniture pieces that will LAST and not fall apart due to exposure to the elements. We also won’t have to worry about our pieces rusting which is beyond amazing and one of the main reasons I am so pleased we went with Villa Outdoors and SUNVILLA!

A BIG thank you to Villa Outdoors and SUNVILLA for giving our backyard the total overhaul it desperately needed! We are in love with our new sectional set, armless chairs, fire pit table and umbrella! I love that the pieces are not only made of durable materials, but also have all of the premium features we could possibly want! I look forward to many days spent in our backyard hosting our friends and family on these gorgeous furniture pieces!

Until next time!
