Harmonia Living Dishes on Outdoor Furniture "Must Haves" on the Kathy Ireland Show!
The hit E! Entertainment Network television series Modern Living with Kathy Ireland recently featured up-and-coming patio furniture manufacturer Harmonia Living to discuss some essential outdoor furniture tips for prospective buyers.
Harmonia Living is an owner-operated company with a mission to achieve that cherished "sweet spot" in the outdoor furniture industry: a high-quality product, with an affordable price tag.
According to Harmonia Living representative Tony Montijo, the most important things to look for in outdoor furniture are:
- frame material
- wicker material
- cushion fabric
These elements are what Harmonia Living considers to be patio furniture "Must Haves," those non-negotiable items that anyone shopping for furniture should look out for, and the very same elements that drive Harmonia Living's design ethos.
Frequently Asked Questions: Harmonia Living's "Must Haves"
Powder-coated aluminum is superior to steel. Harmonia Living uses powder-coated aluminum rather than the thin-walled painted steel frames of most discount brands. While steel tends to rust and leave rust stains on your patio over time, aluminum does not corrode.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE). Harmonia Living uses HDPE for outdoor wicker materials because it lasts up to 4x longer than cheaper, usually PVC materials found in other brands.
Sunbrella fabric is the industry leader. Harmonia Living exclusively uses industry-leading Sunbrella fabric for their cushions. It lasts much longer than other outdoor options because it was originally designed for boats, making it a marine-grade sun-proof and weather-proof fabric.
Harmonia Living's primary motivation in creating their products is to include all the highest quality patio furniture "must haves," and to leave off all the bells and whistles of the "nice to haves" that other luxury patio furniture companies feature. The end result is an incredibly well-made product that is still budget-friendly for most buyers.

Sunbrella fabric for cushions is what I consider top of the line. But before you store them away for a bit just make sure they are dried off.. If you throw them into a patio box a little damp it will take awhile to clean them. I wonder if you have considered teak patio furniture, it will last a long time

I'd say cushion fabric is the most important. It's gotta feel good against the skin!
