Great store, selection and staff. We purchased a Weber Built In from here, after been guided through different options with Bradyn. He provided great knowledge and just an overall honest service. This is our go to store for anything BBQ related now with great after market products and add ons. They also have an amazing Yeti range in store.
Order 8 lowback patio chair cushions which arrived in less than a week which is amazing. Received a friendly email acknowledging order giving a time frame (nice touch). Cushions fit perfectly and are well made, with easy clean fabric which is essential in the tropics. Great service, great product. Thank you Outdoor Living, I'll definitely be recommending you to family and friends.
We bought an outdoor lounge setting, delivered within a week and a half. Friendly helpful service, prompt attention to a minor issue with one of the cushions. And the lounge setting is excellent. What more can you ask for, a very positive experience all round.
The service was amazing from the moment I walked in the door to the point of my purchases being loaded into my car for me.
