Pros and cons
Grand Patio
Pros
- Returns run 30 days from the day a piece arrives, so a large sofa can be set in place and lived with before you commit.
- Ground shipping is free on every order inside the contiguous United States, which matters most on a conversation set.
- Every product comes with a 1 year warranty, so cover remains after the return window closes.
Cons
- Assembly is yours to handle: pieces arrive in parts, so a sectional or conversation set takes a free weekend with help.
- Free ground shipping applies inside the contiguous United States, so shoppers ordering from any other address should get a delivery quote before a large purchase.
- The 30 day return window asks you to decide before a season of weather has tested a piece meant to live outdoors.
HERNEST
Pros
- Returns of 60 days outpace the 30 median recorded across the brands on the site
- A warranty of 3 to 5 years matches the 3 median for sofas and sofa beds
- An in home trial of 60 days runs past the 60 trial median on the site
Cons
- Free delivery is marked no, where 73.1% of the brands compared include delivery in the price
- Support runs on email and chat only, so there is no phone line for questions about an order
- An entry price of $1,249 ranks 104 of 108 brands on price from, toward the dearer end of the field
Who each suits
Grand Patio
Who it suits
- Shoppers who want to live with an outdoor sofa in their own space before deciding, since returns run 30 days from arrival.
- Anyone buying for a patio in the United States who would rather not pay for delivery, since ground shipping is free on every order.
- Buyers who want a warranty behind the piece once the return window closes: every product carries 1 year of cover.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers outside the United States, because shipping is currently limited to that market.
- Anyone who wants furniture delivered ready to sit, because assembly is left to you and the larger sets take hours to build.
- Buyers who want a long trial, since the 30 day window closes before a full season of weather has passed.
HERNEST
Who it suits
- US buyers furnishing a living room and a bedroom in one order, since sofas, armchairs and beds covers sofas, armchairs, beds, dining and storage
- Shoppers who put a long return window and a warranty of 3 to 5 years above a lower entry price
- Anyone who would rather have assembly included than arrange it themselves
Who should look elsewhere
- CuddleCo, if your list is built around beds and bed frames rather than a mixed furniture order
- Dublino Moebel, if you want outdoor furniture in the same order
- buerostuhl24 Bueroetuehle und Buromoebel, if a home office setup with office and gaming chairs is the priority

Questions about each
Grand Patio
What will I pay, and is there a later charge?+
Prices open at $19.99, and they cover the piece rather than the start of a plan, so the figure you weigh at checkout is the figure you pay. Nothing falls due later in the year. If something is wrong with the piece, returns stay open for 30 days and the warranty lasts 1 year, which is where the risk sits instead of in a later charge.
Where does Grand Patio ship, and what does delivery cost?+
Shipping is currently limited to the US market, and the store says it will let buyers know once it is ready to ship overseas. Inside the contiguous United States, ground shipping is free on every order, so an outdoor set from $19.99 costs the same to bring to you as a small side table. Delivery quotes for other addresses are worth asking about first.
HERNEST
How much do sofas cost at HERNEST?+
Sofas start at $1,249, and that entry figure places HERNEST at 104 of 108 brands ranked on price from. Treat it as the floor of the range rather than the price of a typical piece, since wider formats and leather or velvet covers sit above it.
How long do I have to return a sofa?+
Returns run 60 days from delivery, which puts HERNEST at 22 of 106 brands on that measure and well past the 30 median across the site. The longer window is the main argument for paying a higher entry price than some rivals ask.
