I purchased 5 pool loungers and the cushions so I don't know if quantity makes a difference, I don't think so, as you know Geneva is fixed price.
4,775,000 Rph for 5 chairs and cushions, works out at 955,000 Rph each set. They are made of teak timber slats and have wheels at the rear bottom, a lift up part for your back to rest on and a slide out table for your cocktails. Table can slide out of either side of lounger and they have hand hold holes for easy moving. The cushions are foam covered in a rainproof material. There was a choice of colours. The foam is in pieces and each piece is sewn into a pocket...so when the bum piece gets flattened you can replace it with say the foot piece! There is a zip down one side of the cushion for getting the foam out one piece at a time. There is an elastic strap that goes around the top of the lounger to hold the cushion in place. The material does not get hot or sticky and the water runs off. I was charged 200,000 Rph for packing of all 5. The packinging material was excellent, each lounger was wrapped in corrugated cardboard and tied on, even the wheels had there own covers, we will recycle the cardboard in the garden, there is a lot of it! Geneva got the loungers and cushions made and delivered to Balistones and then they went in the container for Perth via Trish Ryder. Shipping costs including GST, Duty and transporting was $780.00 for the 5 loungers and the cushions. I've worked it out to about $186.00 for each lounger and cushion. I also had 16 bags of pebbles sent over too from Balistones, they worked out at $12.00 a 20 kilo bag so not much of a saving on them, but they look great in the garden. I was getting 7300 Rph to the Aus. dollar so that is what I have based my costs on. Hope that helps.
