Hartman quality

Hartman a quality brand in garden furniture

Hartman quality Hartman wants people to enjoy every moment. That is why everything we do is closely guided by our five key values.

From design and comfort to quality and weather resistance: Hartman is a smart investment in every aspect!

To ensure that we maintain the highest standards of quality, we thoroughly test our products for strength, weather resistance, colourfastness, and other quality parameters, using the same NEN 581 standards such well-known testing agencies as TNO and TUV use and are executed by an official engineer.

Hartman garden furniture is designed to be enjoyed year after year. That is why we invariably write Quality with a capital Q.

Good to know: we do not test on Camping level but at least on Domestic level test parameters and sometimes even on Contract level.

We use only pure and certified materials. To us, quality also means safety. Think 'safety locks', for an extra strong frame.

But our rigorous testing does not end there; we also conduct regular product inspections, checking the materials for proper welding, damage, cracks, scratches and irregularities. This way, you are always assured of getting the highest possible quality.

Fatigue test on back rest mechanism: Seat load : 1000 N during test Back load left/right : 285 N / 12.500 times

Arm downwards static load test: Armrest load : 750 N / 10x10 sec per armrest Both armrest have to sustain a load of 750 N (10 cm of front of armrest)

Arm fatigue test: Armrest load : 375 N / 15.000 times per armrest During this test the armrests are pushed downwards as well as sidewards

Leg forward static load test: Seat load : 750 N / 10x10 sec The front legs are blocked and the seat gets a weight of 750 N. Horizontal force of 375 N on back of the chair

Leg sideways static load test: Seat load : 750 N / 10x10 sec Front and back leg are blocked and the seat gets a weight of 750 N. Horizontal force of 375 N on side of chair
