Mark - I am in constant danger of breaking an ankle on an errant table leg, or being crushed to death by chairs stacked fifty high!! Life can be very hazardous in the "outside furniture season".
I do appreciate your point about it being "out of season" - in my close to sea level position the shops have filled with this stuff in the last fortnight - but the date at which it is deemed appropriate to buy garden furniture almost certainly depends on the altitude - and bits of Italy are absurdly close to the snow line!
Have you ever attempted to buy a woodburning stove in July?? - can't be done :) :)
