Who designs Gloster's products?
We commission various international furniture designers such as Povl Eskildsen (Denmark), Mark Gabbertas (UK), Staffan Hultgren (Sweden), Axel Eindhoven (Belgium) and John Caldwell (USA) to design both individual pieces and entire ranges of furniture.
Why does Gloster offer such a large range of products?
We are committed to offering choice and have built up a diverse range of products to cater for all outdoor furniture requirements. Also, Gloster operates in all major markets world-wide and different markets have very different tastes and requirements for outdoor furniture. We therefore produce an extensive array of products to ensure appeal across all markets and tastes.
What's so special about the way Gloster makes its furniture?
We believe that our attention to detail is second to none. The easiest way to describe our attitude to design and finish is indoor production and quality standards combined with outdoor engineering and durability.
Can Gloster furniture be kept outside all year round?
Yes, Gloster Furniture can be kept outside all 12 months of the year - wherever in the world you happen to be located. Of course, furniture left outside all year will get more dirty than furniture that is just used in the summer, but the long-term performance and durability of the furniture is exactly the same.
How easy is Gloster furniture to assemble?
All our furniture is supplied either fully assembled or flat-packed in sub-assemblies to minimise the amount of final assembly required. All flat-packed items come complete with a pack of fittings and detailed, multi-lingual assembly instructions. Due to thoughtful design and the accuracy of our construction no glue is required to assemble our products. In most cases, furniture can be assembled within a few minutes by a single person with only a minimum of tools.
Where can Gloster furniture be purchased?
Gloster does not sell direct, but our products are available to view on line, in print and at high quality specialist and household furniture showrooms world-wide. To find out details of your nearest representative or showroom, please use the contact facility on this site.
Why Gloster?
Gloster furniture is repeatedly selected by the most demanding customers who insist on the best. We believe that we have to be the very best in all that we do - starting with the manufacturing. At our factories we use both traditional and modern methods to achieve production standards that typically far exceed those of most other indoor and outdoor furniture manufacturers.
Gloster is expert in the use of a variety of materials for the manufacture of our furniture. Extensive use is made of teak, stainless steel, powder coated aluminum, all - weather wicker and sling material. Recognizing that we are well known for our quality teak components throughout the industry, we are entirely devoted to the working of all materials to the same high standards.
We also operate our own modern testing departments in our factories. Here, all Gloster furniture is thoroughly tested to international standards and, where no standards exist, we create our own. By undertaking this we can ensure all items will exceed the rigors of any application.
