Manufacturing sustainable garden furniture

Sustainability at Oxley's

For over thirty-five years, crafting luxury, sustainable garden furniture has been the core of what we do.

From our very first pieces sold at a small county shows in the 1990s that are still going strong to this day, to our unique buy-back guarantee and renovation service, sustainability has always been at the foundation of what we do and how we do it.

Recycled Aluminium: our medium of choice

Most businesses understand that it is necessary and right to make ever greater steps to sustainability. There will be numerous ways to do this and each will have its own direction and speed of travel.

When we started Oxley’s in 1991, we made a deliberate choice to use exclusively recycled aluminium. Aluminium is one of the most recycled elements on the planet. It is naturally weather-resistant, highly durable, and endlessly reusable, and it’s light weight enable us to make more substantial pieces in intricate designs.

Every piece of aluminium furniture we have ever made is crafted from recycled material, built to last for generations, and remains fully recyclable at the end of its long life.

Quality That Stands the Test of Time

True sustainability isn’t just about the materials you start with; it’s about how long an item stays out of a landfill. We believe that making things to last for the long term is the most effective form of environmental responsibility and we are proud that our furniture’s lifespan is measured in decades rather than seasons.

Unlike furniture made from other materials, our pieces will not rust, rot, or fall apart, and unlike other aluminium furniture manufacturers, our pieces are solidly constructed with no bolts or joins. We take great pride in the quality of our finish processes – making each piece individually by hand rather than a mass produced factory line.

A Second Life: Renovation and Circular Design

10 years on from selling our first furniture at a small county show a customer approached us asking if we could change the colour of their furniture to match the outdoor setting of their new home. We collected the set, stripped the previous finish, recoated it in the new colour, and delivered it back to them, as new. Accidentally, a new aspect of our business was born: renovations.

Today, we routinely perform this service for past customers, and even carry out exchanges for those wishing to down-or upsize their sets as they move house and circumstances change. This practical approach proves that furniture made well and built to last generations doesn’t have to stay in the same garden forever, and demonstrates our enduring commitment and confidence in what we make.

Building on this experience inspired us to launch our unique 10-Year Buy-Back Guarantee, a powerful promise to our past and future customers.

Extending Our Impact: The Metal Furniture Doctor

Perhaps our biggest move to date has been the launch of a dedicated sister initiative: Metal Furniture Doctor. Through this service, we extend our expertise to aluminium furniture not originally made by Oxley’s, even items lacking the same initial standards of construction or paint finish.This service is specifically designed for those who want to breathe new life into their existing non-Oxley’s furniture rather than discarding it for something new and allows us to use our expertise and infrastructure to help keep furniture going, rather than end up in landfill. This is especially gratifying when we can return family heirlooms to a better-than-new state.

Oxley’s will continue to aim for greater and greater sustainability in all that we do as a business and we are proud of what we have achieved so far.

Frequently Asked Questions...

  • Is Oxley's a good investment?

    Our luxury furniture is sustainable, guaranteed for life, weatherproof and made unique to each customer. Therefore, the old saying “you get what you pay for in life” is particularly appropriate with Oxley’s. It is more expensive than most aluminium furniture, this is because building furniture designed to last generations is a complex activity that requires great skill and attention to detail. It is not a process that can be rushed or done with cheap components. If you consider the price of our luxury outdoor furniture as an investment over, say 25 years, it is extremely good value for money.
