Why should I buy from A&K Enterprise of Manatee, Inc?

We fully manufacture all of the furniture offered on the website ourselves and warranty it for your peace of mind.

Why don't you offer glass tabletops for your patio furniture?
At A&K Enterprise of Manatee, Inc, we prioritize the safety of our outdoor furniture. Due to the risk of tables getting knocked over in windy conditions, we have decided not to offer glass products to our customers. Instead, we provide acrylic tabletops, which have a similar appearance but are less likely to break and cause injury if the table is knocked over. We prioritize quality, and that’s why we’re one of the most dependable wholesale patio furniture companies in Sarasota, FL.
Why are your prices so low?
We are the manufacturer and we keep our overhead low so that we can continue to offer the lowest prices possible. We do not have a showroom or a store, so we pass the savings on to our customers. When you’re looking for affordable commercial pool and patio furniture, you can turn to us.
Why do the straps stretch?
The straps have memory, allowing them to stretch and then regain their original shape. They are made of vinyl, which stretches under weight and when warmed. New straps may stretch more since the vinyl is new. In our experience, the new vinyl may take a couple of weeks to firm up. For top quality and affordable commercial wholesale patio furniture, you can rely on our products at A&K Enterprise of Manatee, Inc.
Why is shipping so expensive?
Our patio furniture is shipped either fully or partially assembled. As a result, the boxes and pallets can be very large and heavy. Due to the size and weight of our outdoor furniture, it must be shipped by commercial freight carriers rather than home delivery services such as FedEx and UPS. We carefully select different freight carriers to ensure that we provide our customers with the best shipping rates possible. We understand that shipping can be expensive, so we strive to ensure that our commercial outdoor resort furniture is competitively priced while maintaining high quality, making it among the most affordable commercial outdoor furniture available on the internet.
What does commercial grade outdoor furniture mean?
While there is no governing body that determines the standards for patio furniture from commercial patio furniture companies, manufacturers generally create their own standards by using similar methods, materials, and suppliers. Our company considers commercial-grade outdoor furniture to be durable enough to withstand continuous outdoor use in applications such as resorts and theme parks. In our experience, the specifications for commercial outdoor furniture include aluminum tubing with a wall thickness of at least .062, powder-coated finish, fully welded construction, and sufficient bracing and safety features to make the furniture suitable for people of all ages, sizes, and weights. Additionally, regular cleaning is crucial for furniture to last longer. According to Forbes, cleaning your patio furniture with a damp cloth or mild soap solution once a month will extend its lifespan.
What makes your furniture different than other commercial outdoor furniture?
We repair all types of outdoor furniture such as aluminum commercial outdoor furniture and have spent time analyzing which designs and features work best, as well as which ones fail most often. We have incorporated this knowledge into our patio furniture designs. For example, after repairing patio furniture from other manufacturers, we noticed that the slings began to tear because of the sharp edge at the end of the sling rail. To prevent this from happening in our slings, we rounded the edge of the sling rail, which prevents the sling from tearing. This is just one example of the attention to detail that we incorporate into our outdoor pool and patio furniture designs.
Why does it take so long for my outdoor furniture to ship?
We custom-make all our outdoor furniture for each order. Some of our products include commercial stackable patio furniture, frame finishes, and vinyl strapping. It is a multi-step process, and it can be delayed for any number of reasons. We work very hard to make sure that we are as efficient as possible in our manufacturing process.
