We’ve all got garden centres close to where we live that sell garden tables and furniture of all kinds, but have you heard of this site which is online?
Despite the popular name you might not be familiar with the site itself. Not to worry though, because we are about to introduce you to it. And as you will see they have plenty for the garden, including tables and chairs.
How do I find the website?
This is a very easy URL to remember! All you have to do is type in www.gardencentre.co.uk.
How can I see all the garden tables they sell?
The first step is to enter the shop itself, which you will find along the top of the website. That will take you straight into the shop, and for some reason when we clicked on that link it took us straight to the garden furniture section!
You’ll see that you can narrow down your choices here though, as you can select tables from the expanded menu on the left hand side of the site. This will take you directly to this link – http://www.gardencentre.co.uk/shop.asp?uid={8B3AA08E-72BD-498D-8323-06591032B348}&action=menu&cat=Garden%20Furniture&subcat=Tables.
Does it have a lot of different garden tables?
Yes it does, and many of them are rather different to the ones you would find elsewhere. For example, some of them have the hole in the middle that you would expect to have so you can put a parasol through it.
But a lot of the other garden tables they do are smaller – more like side tables in fact – and as such they don’t look a lot different from what you would have indoors. They are very attractive though and would provide an excellent extra surface when you are barbecuing or entertaining.
In addition you will find a good number of folding tables, which is ideal when you want to store the garden table away in the shed or garage.
Does the site contain plenty of information?
Yes it does, and it starts the moment you arrive on the general page featuring all the tables. There is an introductory paragraph next to each garden table, so you can get an idea of what to expect before selecting to read more about it.
This page will also tell you whether the item is in stock or not, and enables you to order straight from there by providing an order button and the price.
Clicking on the ‘more info’ button brings up a small window giving you a few more details. More importantly it reveals the sizes of the table, so you can see whether it is ideal for your needs or not. The picture is also bigger in this window, but you cannot enlarge it any more even if you open the window fully.
Unusually, to find out more details about placing your order for your new garden table on the website, you have to go back to the home page. The delivery costs and the terms and conditions are both given via links a bit further down the page on the left hand side. The delivery information in particular is very good, and tells you how things are costed. This means there are no surprises when you eventually place your order.
How easy is it to order a garden table online?
You will need to order directly from the main page full of garden tables. Once you have looked at the additional information in the other window, close it and go back to the page you were on. You can then click on the ‘add’ button to add the item to your basket.
When you do this your basket will appear at the top of the screen. What’s more, it will handily stay there until you are ready to place your order, unless you elect to hide it.
Your shipping costs should also appear here, along with how full your actual box is. Obviously if you are ordering a garden table you will only have the one box.
In conclusion
The Garden Centre is the online version of the average garden centre in your home town. As such if you don’t like wandering round and coping with the crowds, this is the next best option!
And as you can see, they have an interesting selection of garden tables to show you as well. With a great selection of chairs and seat pads to go with them – not to mention parasols – you will find everything here that you could possibly need.
