Advantages of

1. Low cost. If the budget of the enterprise is limited, and without furniture all the same not to manage, the plastic variant is just what is needed. Furniture made of plastic - excellent value for money.
2. Practicality and durability. Plastic - a material that is not susceptible to corrosion, or to rotting processes, does not swell or deform under the influence of moisture. Insects and fungi to this material are absolutely indifferent. It is easy to take care of, it is enough to wash the plastic surface or even simply wipe with a damp cloth.
3. Convenience of storage and transportation. Since plastic furniture is very light, it is convenient to move it from one room to another, and for this there is no need to look for movers. When transporting for long distances, the chairs are folded one into one, taking up very little space. Plastic deck chairs are folded, the tables are dismantled into parts, which greatly simplifies the process of storing and carrying them. Very convenient is also foldable plastic furniture for the garden, which also comes in handy on a picnic or fishing.
4. Variety. A wide range of color solutions and models of different designs, made of plastic, are presented today in the furniture market. You can even buy plastic furniture, which will have a surface with imitation of various textures of natural materials, such as marble, wood or metal.

Disadvantages of

1. Artificial origin. Often when heated such furniture releases toxic substances if the plastic is of questionable quality. Demand when purchasing from sellers a quality certificate, where there is a section describing the degree of toxicity of this product. For greater caution, having plastic furniture in the house, place it away from heating objects and, as often as possible, ventilate the room.
2. Exposure to mechanical influences. On plastic over time, there are noticeable scratches, from a strong sharp impact it can burst. But, from the formation of scratches can protect the use of various coatings or tablecloths. And, if you do not knock on such furniture deliberately, trying to break it, then it will serve you faithfully for a very long time.
3. Exposure to direct sunlight and the effect of very low temperatures. Today, in conditions of global warming, summer, at times, happens not only warm, but exhausting hot. If plastic furniture will be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, then there is a possibility of its deformation in the melting process, which is irretrievable. The surface of plastic furniture can fade with such misuse. The only way out is to put furniture in a shade or under a canopy when it is not used. Plastic furniture, especially imported, does not withstand our harsh winters. If plastic items were left for winter on the street, then in the spring they will become brittle, they will quickly break down. Therefore, it is better to send summer furniture to winter storage in a storage room.
4. Incompatibility with some interior styles. Items of furniture made of plastic are not at all universal elements of the interior. Plastic furniture - the prerogative of modern dwellings with trendy design( hi-tech, pop art, etc.).But, do not try to fit the plastic items into a classic or luxuriously luxurious environment. Moreover, many people quite categorically oppose cheap plastic furniture, therefore, when organizing a picnic, find out the preferences of the invited guests.

Most of the cheap plastic furniture is made of PVC( polyvinyl chloride).To increase the strength characteristics, it is reinforced by adding polymer resins. Better( and, therefore, more expensive) analogue is produced from methacrylic and acrylic acids.

On sale today there is plastic furniture of Italian, Turkish and domestic manufacturers. Italian furniture has a metal frame and is pretty elegant. Turkish products, of course, are simpler, but the quality is also "on top".Domestic samples are rather primitive, although they are the cheapest. Therefore, they too have their admirers.

In any case, the use of plastic furniture is a chance, for a little money to organize a comfortable recreation area or work space.
