As I write this today I am still waiting for the delivery of the fabrics I ordered about a week ago. After searching all over the net for a place where I could buy outdoor fabric to upholster some chairs, I finally stumbled across this fabulous website! They have hundreds and hundreds of beautiful designs and the best thing about them is they can live outside in the rain! I should say ‘drizzle’. How fantastic is that?! Here are the three designs I chose:
Indigo blue batik print based on the Indonesian “Tree of Life”
Zebra print which I am going to use as the seat fabric of a baby blue chair, which has yet to be painted.
Last but not least, Robert Allen’s Summer Garden!
Beautiful floral with butterflies, dragonflies and vines on a cream background. This fabric is going to make up the cushion for an old country cottage chair which has just had a glossy black face lift! I shall keep you updated.
Were you happy with the service from this company.
I also stumbled across this website and ordered some material – apparently it was only going to take a week….A week went by and nothing arrived, I phoned and checked, the material hadn’t arrived, but should have it next week.
Next week arrived, still nothing. Phoned again, the wrong colour had been delivered..let’s try again. Again still nothing the following week so I phoned again…there was a delay in customs….but I should definitely get it next week….
After a month of waiting and the material still not arriving, I cancelled and got a refund (Oh yeah money taken upfront, but no contact to explain what was happening with my order) Not so fab experience.
What a shame to hear that! I had a very positive experience with them!! – adelle
I’ve ordered three times from Fab Outdoor Fabrics and I love their range, service and prices.
One order took three weeks but it was more than worth the wait. I found the same fabric at a designers for three times the price. I paid $45.00 per metre and it was about $140.00 a metre.
Totally fab experience.
Well, i didnt even get that far. After 3 emails to fab Outdoor fabrics after i had taken the time to measure my outdoor seating area, i have heaard nothing…NOT SO FAB IN MY BOOKS!
Hello Vanessa – We did respond to you several times, including providing foam contacts in Melbourne. You emailed us back so I know you received at least one of our emails.
However, you had not selected a fabric so we couldn’t give you a quote.
We get hundreds of emails every week and try to answer them all dilligently and share as much information as we can.
I have bought from Fab Outdoor Fabric, and I must say I was extremely happy with both the product and the service. One of the deliveries took longer than expected, but Anita threw in an additional half metre of another fabric as compensation – very happy about that! And she was very helpful giving advice over the phone. I will definitely be going back to them very soon.
