With the sun shining and temperatures rising this week, everyone’s minds have turned to the outside. And if you’re lucky to have a garden at your disposal, you’re likely looking to kit it out asap. This week, garden furniture sales at John Lewis doubled compared to last week. And with some excellent designs available in the retailer’s outdoor furniture range - like the John Lewis Marcy garden chair and matching 2-seater garden sofa - I’m not surprised.
I might not have a garden of my own, but I’ve tried and tested a fair share of garden chairs and sofas, encountering both the worst and the best garden furniture along the way. I tried sitting on the striped Marcy Sling Garden Chair at the John Lewis spring/summer 2025 press preview and was so shocked (in a good way) at how comfortable, soft and fluffy the seating was. Really, I didn’t want to get up! Needless to say, this chair certainly falls into the category of the best garden furniture I’ve tried.
