Haymont (Hampton Bay)

You found a Haymont set on the marketplace for the price of a chair — frames tight, weave intact, pads wrecked. That’s not a bad deal; that’s the standard deal. Frame quality is why second-hand Hampton Bay is worth buying, and replacement cushions are how you cash the discount in.

The marketplace math works in your favor

Second-hand patio furniture follows a brutal depreciation curve: sellers price to move before a relocation or a storage-unit purge, and tired cushions are the single biggest lever pushing the number down. Yet the expensive half of a Hampton Bay piece — the welded or woven frame, the thing that actually lasts — depreciates just as fast in the listing even though it barely wears. A buyer who budgets for fresh custom pads on top of the second-hand price routinely lands a better set for less than new boxed-set money.

The catch is knowing what you’re looking at. Marketplace listings misname series constantly (“Hampton Bay style” is a red flag meaning “not Hampton Bay”), and pads that ship with used furniture are usually end-of-life anyway — you’re buying frames and planning cushions. Which is exactly the sweet spot for a made-to-measure workshop: no chart needed, no original spec needed, just your tape measure and the numbers you took before handing over cash.

Inspect at pickup, measure at pickup

Everything is easier while the seller still wants the sale and the furniture is standing in daylight. Work this checklist at the listing, not in your yard three days later:

1. Frame integrity first. Rock the piece gently — wobble at a weld or joint is the one defect money can’t cheaply fix. Cracked weave on wicker-style frames is cosmetic; loose structure is a walk-away.
2. Hunt the white tag. Under the seat frame, inside an arm rail. A readable model number — usually behind a GLD or THD supplier code — confirms the maker and often the series on the spot. Photograph it whatever condition it’s in.
3. Measure each pad on site. Width between arms, depth along the flat seat deck, thickness at the seam, one figure triple per pad, seats and backs separately. The measurement guides fit on a phone screen.
4. Photograph everything you measured — tape lying in position, one shot per number. If a figure looks wrong later, the photo settles whether the tape or the typing was at fault.
5. Skip the old pads entirely in your valuation. Price the deal on the frames; treat whatever cushions come with it as packing material.

Sellers rarely object — a buyer with a tape measure is a buyer who closes. And those on-site figures are all a custom order ever needed: Haymont was never charted publicly, so the original dimensions exist nowhere except on the furniture itself. Your numbers become the spec.

From pickup photos to a quoted set

Home with the frames, the order takes one sitting. Figures into the configurator per cushion, fabric from the 119-option menu, density picked between 35D and 65D — the whole quote builds on screen, starting from a $45 make-base per piece and moving only with size and density. Fabric never changes the number: cotton linen for sheltered spots, water-resistant tech fabric for open sky, premium velvet where the pets sit. Every cover zips fully off for washing, which matters twice over on second-hand frames that have already logged a few seasons.

Before cutting, the workshop re-checks your figures against the piece count — mismatched triples and impossible proportions draw a question rather than a silent guess. The finished build is guaranteed inside ±½″, stretching to ±¾″ on dimensions past 36″, and misses on our side are remade free.

Timing for a marketplace score: production runs 4–7 business days standard, 3–5 business days on a rush, then 3–6 weeks of shipping to most US addresses. A set scored in February is fully seated by April — before new-season retail stock even hits the floor at full price.

Logistics deserve sixty seconds of planning before pickup day, because patio sets are awkward freight. Ask whether the seller can help load — most expect to; bring blankets or bubble wrap for wicker frames riding a truck bed; and stack frames with weave facing weave, never metal against weave. Second-hand Hampton Bay frames are tough but not armored, and a scraped arm rail on the drive home is a small heartbreak a folded blanket prevents entirely. If the set includes an umbrella or a glass-top table, move those separately — bundles moved as one load are how table glass earns its reputation. And on price: a set with dead pads is honestly priced as frames alone, so a respectful offer framed that way — “frames are solid, cushions are done, I’m pricing the frames” — usually lands without friction, because the seller already knows what their cushions look like.

If the tag didn’t survive the previous owner

Plenty of second-hand pieces arrive tagless, and identification falls back to the paper trail you don’t have (theirs) plus the frame itself. Home Depot order history belongs to the seller — occasionally worth asking for a screenshot during negotiation, since it also proves provenance. Otherwise, send us clear photos of the frame: arm shape, weave pattern, leg feet. Most series calls come back the same day, free, before any order exists.

A caveat worth repeating for marketplace buyers: “Haymont” and similar series names get attached loosely in listings, and Hampton Bay refreshed series across model years anyway — same name, small changes to arms and cushion lofts. A measured order sidesteps the entire question of which model year you bought; the pads fit the frame in front of you, not the frame in a catalog.

Adjacent uncharted lines like Geneva and Amelia Springs follow the same route. Kampar is the charted exception, with its own measured-series page; everything sits in the Hampton Bay index.

Frequently asked questions

The listing says “Hampton Bay” but the tag is missing — how do I verify?

Ask the seller for their Home Depot order history screenshot during the deal — it proves both the maker and the series. Failing that, photos of the frame to the workshop usually settle the call same-day at no charge.

Should I just keep the pads that came with my second-hand set?

Almost never. Pads that ship with used listings are typically the reason the set is being sold — flattened cores, seized zippers, fabric at end of life. Fresh made-to-measure pads at your chosen density are the plan the discount was funding.

One last marketplace habit worth adopting: screenshot the listing itself before you buy — photos, description, seller name. It documents the claims you measured against, and it gives the workshop a reference if a series identification question comes up later. Buyers who keep listing screenshots alongside their measurement photos effectively arrive at the order with the complete file already open.

Can I order from photos of the frames instead of measurements?

Photos help identify the series but can’t carry an order — camera angles distort dimension by inches. Three tape figures per pad, photographed in position, is the reliable input; the configurator takes them directly.

One chair is fine but its twin is torn — can I match the surviving original?

Better than match — outlast. Send the surviving pad’s three figures and we’ll rebuild to them at your chosen density, and the pair rides at matching height again. Matching just the look while upgrading the core is the usual play.

What will new cushions for a four-piece set cost?

Each piece starts from the $45 make-base and climbs with size and density, quoted line by line in the configurator before you commit — a four-seat conversation set typically lands well under what a single new boxed chair costs at retail.

How fast can I be sitting on it?

Count 4–7 business days of standard production, 3–5 rushed, plus 3–6 weeks shipping to most US doors. Marketplace hunters who order the day of pickup are seated a full season ahead of retail-priced buyers waiting on stock.

Haymont replacement cushions for the frames you scored — measured at pickup, rebuilt to last, from a $45 make-base.
