Established for over 20 years, and still under the same ownership, Bramblecrest has become synonymous with outdoor living. Their impressive range more than lives up to their strapline of providing 'garden furniture of distinction'.

In this blog, we’re excited to share why we proudly stock Bramblecrest garden furniture and how their pieces can elevate your outdoor space. Discover why this brand is the ideal choice for your garden.

Why we're Bramblecrest stockists

JB Furniture is renowned for selling the very best brands of outdoor furniture and accessories. Our customers rely on us to curate style, high quality, and durability on their behalf. Stocking Bramblecrest with its comprehensive collection of high-quality furniture is a no-brainer. We want our customers to have their finest teak, cast aluminium and rattan pieces for dining or lounging in the garden, whatever the season. We often stock Bramblecrest clearance items too so that everyone can enjoy Bramblecrest furniture.

Let's take a closer look at how Bramblecrest meets our exacting criteria in 4 key ways:

1. You can spot the Bramblecrest design and style

Top of the list is Bramblecrest's attitude to design and style. This is what they say: "We believe the sophistication and style of the indoors should be reflected in your outdoor space without the compromise of indulgence or comfort."

Take their hanging egg chairs which, not surprisingly have been a huge success over the years. In 2024 we have consolidated our collection to include both single egg chairs and double hanging chairs in sandstone and grey. Still as popular as ever!

Comprising a stable, aluminium free-standing frame with smooth and weatherproof UV- resistant rattan weave, Bramblecrest's hanging egg chairs are an irresistible mix of fun and calm.

Meanwhile, the Bramblecrest Portofino collection is a typical example of Bramblecrest's effortless style. The corner sofa sets are currently available in two options, created in a mushroom rattan weave that contrasts beautifully with the dark grey of the aluminium frames. Adjustable to coffee or dining height and also available with firepit table option. (with a griddle plate available separately).

2. Bramblecrest's well thought-out ranges

We pride ourselves on meeting the varying taste and outdoor vision of our customers and Bramblecrest helps us achieve this time after time. Take their Monterey Modular Sofa and Dining Table with Firepit.

Built out of durable garden rattan, this model comprises a modular corner sofa and 2 benches, enabling 8-10 people to dine comfortably and casually. The square ceramic table top is frost-resistant with a protective glass fire shield to cover the fire pit.

This thoughtfully designed set is the perfect blend of flexibility and comfort, elevating any dining experience with warmth and ambience. All that’s left for you to bring is the food, the people, and the good times.

Another standout example is the Tuscan range, a collection that perfectly combines craftsmanship, style, and resilience. Each piece is meticulously hand-crafted using powder-coated aluminium and a robust, all-weather rattan weave, ensuring exceptional durability and a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.

Throughout 2024, the Tuscan range has risen in popularity - a testament to its timeless design and the quality materials that can withstand the rigours of outdoor living while maintaining their beauty. The Tuscan collection offers a versatile selection of garden furniture to suit a variety of needs and preferences. Options include elegant firepit sets that add warmth and ambience to any gathering, adjustable-height table sets for ultimate flexibility, and luxurious sofa sets designed for comfort and relaxation.

Whether you're hosting a summer soirée or enjoying a quiet moment outdoors, the Tuscan range provides the perfect blend of functionality and style, making it a go-to choice for garden lovers.

3. Bramblecrest furniture is durable by design

The Bramblecrest team works with a variety of materials that are not only good-looking and comfortable but also used carefully and innovatively. Their furniture and accessories are resistant to frost and UV light, and can be left outside - uncovered - throughout the season. You'll find extensive care guidance on their website. 

Typically, for this conscientious brand, Bramblecrest also offers a range of flexible covers as added protection from the dirt and muck created by animals, birds and the weather. They're super-useful in their adaptability across their ranges rather than any particular set of furniture. During the spring and summer for example, you can quickly throw a cover over your table and seating, including the cushions, keeping everything clean and dry for immediate use. Read our step-by-step guide for keeping Bramblecrest garden furniture clean for more information.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed using high-quality, weather-resistant materials such as powder-coated aluminium, all-weather rattan, and UV-stable fabrics. This careful selection of materials makes Bramblecrest furniture resilient against the elements, including frost, UV rays, and moisture, allowing it to remain outdoors year-round.

Bramblecrest's commitment to durability by design means you can enjoy beautifully crafted, low-maintenance garden furniture that stands the test of time while maintaining its elegant appeal.

4. Bramblecrest's standards are high with great attention to detail

Bramblecrest’s commitment to excellence is perfectly captured in their own words: "Our products are manufactured to the highest specification using innovative designs and responsibly sourced materials. We are all driven by the same high standards and values today, from factory to customer, with environmental concerns and awareness being fundamental to our beliefs."

We see these principles reflected in every piece of Bramblecrest furniture we stock, a great example of this is the popular Tetbury range. This collection is a modern reimagining of timeless garden furniture design, featuring lightweight yet durable powder-coated aluminium frames and an elegant wood-grain effect table top.

For customers who prefer alternatives to glass, the Tetbury table tops use a planked poly-wood substitute crafted from UV-resistant resin. It’s a smart, safe, and stylish option that adds both practicality and charm.

Adding to its appeal, the cushion covers in the Tetbury range are made from recycled plastic bottles, embodying Bramblecrest's dedication to sustainability. This combination of eco-consciousness, thoughtful design, and premium quality makes the Tetbury range a standout choice for any outdoor space.

The History of Bramblecrest

Bramblecrest. From its humble beginnings to becoming one of the most trusted names in garden furniture, Bramblecrest’s journey is a testament to its commitment to excellence. 

Bramblecrest can trace its roots back to 2000 and they have over 24 years of experience at their fingertips. For nearly a quarter of a century Bramblecrest have dedicated themselves to customer service and quality products, they’ve built and maintained a reputation for enhancing outdoor spaces. 

Let’s delve into the history of this iconic brand and explore how it has earned its reputation as a leader in outdoor furniture.

How it All Began

Bramblecrest began in 2000 when two school friends were travelling and stumbled upon a small Javanese terracotta pot factory. The quality and variety of the products available instantly struck them. 

This visit sparked a concept and Bramblecrest began. They purchased a selection of the pots and shipped them to the UK where they sold out.

The Early Days - A Passion for Outdoor Living

Bramblecrest was established over 20 years ago in the picturesque Cotswolds, a region renowned for its natural beauty and tradition of craftsmanship. Founded with a clear vision to enhance outdoor living spaces, the brand quickly gained recognition for its high-quality designs that blended functionality and aesthetics.

From the outset, Bramblecrest set itself apart by focusing on durable materials and meticulous craftsmanship. Their commitment to providing furniture that could withstand the unpredictable British weather while remaining stylish made them a favourite among garden enthusiasts.

Growth and Innovation

As the demand for outdoor living products grew, so did Bramblecrest’s ambition. The brand expanded its range to include everything from classic rattan dining sets to contemporary aluminium furniture and modular sofas. By consistently adapting to trends and customer preferences, Bramblecrest has managed to stay at the forefront of garden furniture design.

A key milestone in the company’s history was its adoption of innovative all weather materials like powder-coated aluminium and UV-resistant rattan. These advancements not only improved the durability of their products but also allowed for a broader range of designs that catered to both traditional and modern tastes.

Sustainability and Responsibility

Bramblecrest’s success isn’t just built on style and durability; it’s also rooted in a deep commitment to sustainability. As environmental concerns became more pressing, Bramblecrest took significant steps to reduce its ecological footprint.

Bramblecrest have partnered with organisations such as Ecologi. For every set of Bramblecrest furniture sold, Ecologi will plant a tree in return. They are also supporting projects that work on carbon offset projects.

Alongside this Bramblecrest have strived to create products with eco-friendly materials. An example of this is that they use recycled plastic bottles to create their eco cushion covers. Not only that but their garden furniture sets are designed to last a long time. Many cheaper garden sets will quickly deteriorate and many people find themselves replacing them every 1-2 years. In contrast, Bramblecrest furniture sets are designed to withstand all weather conditions and last for many years. Many of our customers return 5-10 years later and their Bramblecrest furniture still looks like new.

Looking Ahead

Over 20 years later Bramblecrest now have a team of over 50 highly skilled people based in their Cotswold HQ. They continue to design a range of luxury garden furniture and accessories.

As outdoor living continues to grow in popularity, Bramblecrest shows no signs of slowing down.
