Hi Adrian. I asked this question last year around this time and it was suggested Auchan ..... However this link might be of use - Hai cercato Arredi Giardino nella regione Marche | PagineGialle.it

The best place in Italy for quality garden furniture, accessories, etc. is Unopiù
Have a look at their webpage:

www.unopiu.it

I do not know which will be the closest store to your place, but, definitely, worth a look.

Do you mean "good quality" as in "only the best will do and money is no object"?

If so, last year I visited a factory and showroom near Pescara which had extremely nice garden furniture manufactured locally. The prices, however, were equally impressive. I was interested in one of the sun loungers in their catalogue until I spoke to a salesman and learned the price was €800.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the firm and I'm not able to get hold of the brochure right now. If you're interested, I should be able to pass on the info sometime in the latter half of April.

Coincasa with two branches in Pescara tend to have tables, seats and parasols for a reasonable prive.

Also I have just found these manufacturers online - Arredamenti esterni, arredamento esterno - ATMOSPHERA, produzione e vendita

More to come hopefully

Default Quality garden furniture, try Emu

I hate to disagree but quite a few people who can afford to buy anything they please for their holiday houses here in Umbria, have found Unopiu garden furniture not as robust (it can rust too), as EMU garden furniture. Both are far too expensive for us but we do know that some EMU agents are "flexible" for cash.
They are so stylish it shouldn't be difficult to check out their website. The stuff stands bad weather well.

Yes,you can get everything the market has to offer here and locally if you want
this company have quite a nice range of outdoor furniture in wood see
^ Arcaset ^ they have a local dealer in Piane di Falerone (near the bend)
as with most similar things round here do not expect huge exposition sites as there just aren't enough people here to sustain huge retail outlets so for the most part they work from catalogues,nearer the cities/coast you'll find larger retail outlets but often the quality is not very good.

Just looked at Arcaset. Unfortunately their web site has left all prices out, so difficult to tell what you are looking at. Maybe a Italian/ non Italian pricing structure.

Manufacturers tend to leave out prices. I found this on bathroom ones.
