LexMod Review

There’s nothing quite like sitting out on your patio in the evening, enjoying a cool breeze and a beautiful sunset while relaxing on comfortable, stylish furniture. Whether your style tends towards the super-casual, like hammocks and Adirondack chairs, or you prefer a sleek, modern look, having the right outdoor furniture can make all the difference between an unused patio or backyard and your own personal relaxation-and-entertainment zone.

What should you buy for your outdoor furniture? Naturally, the answer depends on what you have in mind. Are you looking for chaise lounges to put next to your pool, or a patio set for serving cocktails and appetizers? Outdoor furniture isn’t limited just to seating: most retailers also carry chimineas and fire pit tables both for ambience and heating purposes, shades and curtains for privacy and protection from the sun, even swings just for the fun of it.

With products featured on The Price is Right and the Martha Stewart Show, LexMod prides itself on being a favorite among Fortune 500 offices, production studios, and interior designers. In addition to outdoor furniture, LexMod carries a curated selection of furnishings and decor items for all areas of the home and office.

To begin your search, click on the Outdoor tab on the top of the page. You’ll then have the ability to choose from these categories:

• Bar and Dining
• Individual Pieces
• Teak Outdoor
• Shop by Collection
• Conversation Sets
• Aluminum Outdoor
• Sunbrella Outdoor
• Daybeds and Lounges and Swings
• Pillows

Alternately, you can choose to view all available products, though you may be overwhelmed by scrolling through everything LexMod has to offer. You can also see which collections and individual pieces are the most popular, if you’re looking to stay on point with designs and colors.

Once you’ve selected a category, it’s easy to see what’s available: each thumbnail image shows you the available colors (usually with respect to cushions), and clicking on the individual product will allow you to see multiple views, an in-depth product description, customer reviews when available, and a Questions and Answers tab where you can see what other shoppers wanted to know.

Pricing at LexMod is competitive with other retailers, though we were surprised not to see any sales, discounts, or promotions on multiple visits to the site. LexMod does save you money over many other retailers, with free shipping on all orders to the 48 continental United States.

Their return policy is standard as well, with refunds issued for items returned in unused condition within 30 days of shipment. No restocking fees are charged, but you will have to pay for the costs of the return shipping.

LexMod’s reputation is mostly positive: an “A-” rating with the Better Business Bureau at the time of our review, and several compliments from customers on their Facebook page. A few shoppers had complaints about issues with the website or delays in shipping, but we found LexMod’s customer service representatives to be friendly and responsive in dealing with those problems.

As you think about what you need to make your ideal outdoor space, you’ll want to give some consideration to what materials are used. By design, most outdoor furniture is designed to be weather-resistant, but some materials can withstand heat, cold, rain and snow easily, while others will need to be moved indoors during times of more extreme temperatures.

You may be surprised to know that buying patio furniture and other outdoor items is often easier and more affordable when you shop online. Even on large, bulky things like lounge chairs and tables, many retailers offer free shipping, saving you the hassle of having to drive around town to find what you need – and then hoping that it will fit in your car for the ride home! What should you look for when choosing an online store for your outdoor furniture? Keep these criteria in mind:

• Selection. Does the store have a wide variety of products to choose from? Can you get items in a number of colors, materials, and styles? How many brands does the retailer carry in stock?
• Price. Are the prices competitive with other stores? Are there any discounts or other money-saving perks like free shipping? Will the store match the price if you find your furniture somewhere else for less?
• Return Policy. If you need to return your purchase, will the store allow it? And, if so, will you be charged a restocking fee?
• Customer Satisfaction. How does the store measure up when it comes to keeping their shoppers happy? Is the customer service department responsive and helpful when issues arise with products or delivery?
