Golden Barley Aluminium furniture is sub standard

In 2013 I bought 3 patio sets from the company with the understanding that their product is durable close to the sea.<br> I stay 50 meters from the sea and after less than a year the paintwork started to stain and after 2 years the spray paint started to peel. This product is not good if you stay too close to the sea. Numerous efforts requesting assistance or solutions had not been answered. This product is expensive but surely not suitable as quality aluminium garden/patio furniture if you are close to the sea. Buyers beware that you will in all probability get no assistance from Golden Barley to give corrective suggestions. The references on their website does not work either.
