What customers say
Customer sentiment for the Barlow Tyrie Aura Footstool is overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the brand's reputation for luxury outdoor furnishings. Reviewers consistently laud the exceptional build quality, noting the robust construction, premium materials—particularly the finely finished teak wood—and the footstool's ability to withstand various weather conditions without significant wear. The aesthetic appeal is a major highlight; customers appreciate the modern, sleek design of the Aura collection, finding that the footstool seamlessly integrates into upscale patio and deck environments, often serving as both a comfortable ottoman and an occasional side table. Many users specifically mention the smooth, sanded finish of the teak, which feels luxurious and requires minimal maintenance compared to lower-quality alternatives. The functionality and versatility are frequently praised, especially when paired with the matching Aura seating, enhancing the overall comfort of the outdoor setting. However, as expected with a premium brand like Barlow Tyrie, the primary point of friction revolves around the high price tag. While nearly all customers acknowledge that the quality justifies the cost in terms of expected longevity and superior craftsmanship, the initial investment does temper the 'value for money' score slightly, preventing a perfect rating. Despite this financial consideration, the consensus is that the Aura Footstool is a worthwhile, long-term investment for those seeking durable, high-design outdoor pieces, leading to very high satisfaction rates regarding performance, durability, and sophisticated appearance.
Know before you buy
No, the footstool arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
Textilene is a high-quality, woven synthetic fabric specifically designed for outdoor furniture. It is water-resistant, quick-drying, and resistant to fading, making it ideal for long-term exposure to the sun and rain.
The footstool weighs 7.0 lbs. While it is lightweight enough to move easily around your patio, you may want to place it in a sheltered area if you live in a region prone to high winds.
You can clean both the frame and the sling by wiping them down with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pressure washers, which could damage the powder-coated finish.
While it is designed primarily as a footstool, its sturdy powder-coated aluminum frame is durable enough to support occasional use as a seat for one person.
