It was about time this blog got a facelift, and a new location.  For the past year, we’ve hosted our blog at wordpress.com, and it’s been a fantastic service.  But with new technologies available to us, we decided to move the blog to our own server, and do a little blog facelift.

Melissa Michaels often INSPIRES, and we’ve been caught in the wave.  She’s happily challenged bloggers to create a list of 20 Little Things to Treasure in Autumn, and we’re happy to play along.

It’s not always easy to decide on the right color for a patio cushion or patio umbrella.  We’ve covered the selection of fabrics and frames before, but it’s not always as easy as we might think.  One blogpost might not be the answer, so we’ve decided to do a series of fabric fashion articles highlighting [...]

So as we are in August, a lot has slown down.  People are not in a rush for their patio cushions or patio umbrellas, and can take more of a leisurely perusal of our products.  This is really an awesome time to purchase your patio gear.  Sales are abundant all over the internet, and you [...]

Sling furniture are one of those hard to define furniture groups.  Great on value and offering nice features, alot of our customers try to stay away from them.  So, our sling furniture cushions are probably not on everyone’s list of “cushions to buy.”  However, we firmly believe that they are important cushions to have available.
Firstly, [...]

Another great review from one of satisfied customers!
I would like to tell Cushions and Umbrellas what a fine company I think they are. I have had two experiences ordering from them and both have been stellar. Your customer service is unmatched in a very mediocre [at best] world for customer service-every question I have asked [...]

Another great letter from one of our customers.
Dear Cushionsandumbrellas,
My wicker cushions and deluxe patio umbrella arrived a couple of days ago, and I can’t tell you how happy, happy, happy I am! The construction on the cushions was really impressive, and the patio umbrella with the RAD Master wind vent was so easy to [...]

This summer we’ll be heading out to our patio’s and our garden’s with our family to enjoy the lounging in the summer sun, and genuinely deserved.  After spending months huddled up in sweaters and bundled up in the home, it’s time we step out and warm up under the sun.  Time to lounge and sunbathe!  [...]

Every year, our customers complain about their old furniture.  They tell us things like:

My patio furniture just looks bad
My wrought iron furniture is rusty
All the aluminum furniture I have is just dated
I should just get rid of all my patio furniture

Hold on a minute there! Why go through that expense. Nothing beats the charm of [...]

A satisfied customer sent us this letter.
Dear Kathie,
We just received our wrought iron cushions and fiberglass rib umbrella, and I have to say that I’m delighted!  When we started shopping online for our patio decor, we found a lot of online shops, but very little options.  The “other” stores offered what seemed to be good [...]

We’ve been working on getting in just the right stripes for our patio umbrellas, and it seems we’ve finally come up with a great grouping that we can add this weekend.  Of course, they are all Sunbrella Fabrics, which are pretty much the best in the biz.  Hope you enjoy!

We try our best to promote out business and our website around the web. Sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we fail. You see, the problem lies not in our products, or our website. There are a plethora of bloggers out there who love to blog about their home, and interior design, and [...]

Just received a new letter from one of our customers.
Dear CushionsAndUmbrellas.com,
I had to tell you how much we are enjoying our gorgeous offset patio umbrella. We ordered it about 2 weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. We set it up immediately (it was very easy) and my husband immediately figured out how to [...]

Many of our patio shoppers call us for some help with their fabric selection. With so many fabrics to choose from, it can be a little daunting to match existing patio furniture frame colors to an outdoor fabric. A lot of times, some shoppers decide to go with a neutral color, knowing that [...]

We recently received this great letter from a recent customer:
Dear CushionsAndUmbrellas.com,
I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our new patio chaise cushions.  We recently purchased two aluminum furniture chaise cushions in Bravada Limelight, and where so happy when they arrived.

I immediately placed them on our furniture and they [...]

Offset patio umbrellas represent more than just another line we can carry. They’re really great to own! We try to describe all the things that you can do with an offset, but ultimately, it’s up to you to decide what you’d like to do with it, and how you are going to use it. We’ve put together a little list on what we think are cool ways of adding this great umbrella to your garden or backyard.

Got a great message from one of our customers, Ms. Tina Christie, who loved her 11 Foot Collar Tilt Patio Umbrella. She had been looking for the perfect umbrella to put right by her view of a beautiful waterway, for her teak furniture. She picked a lovely Sand Finish and Pacific [...]
