TESTIMONIALS

“We are so thrilled with the outdoor lounge set we got from GBO - Groundbreakers Outdoors. The whole point of outdoor furniture is to enjoy the sun and a cold drink!  That’s why the generous dimensions of the sofa and armchairs make all the difference - you can actually lounge!  We’d looked at all the mainstream outlets at similar sets before we went with GBO's setting. At first glance they looked the same....but on closer inspection the tightness and quality of the cane weaving, the quality of the cushions and the generosity of the seats we found at GBO was of a whole different standard, and worth every cent. They’ve been on the deck since we bought them a year ago and they look like we got them yesterday. Couldn’t be happier.” Francois - Eastbourne

​I Love this store!!! I only just discovered it and it will definitely be my new go to! I would love to buy everything....the designs are amazing and it's all so unique, not what you would usually find at your general house ware store. Customer service was also great, super helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place :) Gemma
