Strathwood Falkner Lounge Deep Seat Arm Chair, Set of 2
Amazon Price: $299.99
Customer Review: This is the first time that I've bought something online where I've had to rely on the reviews of others. Wasn't sure what I was getting into. But I have to say that I am completely surprised and satisfied with the quality! I've ended up buying these chairs as well as the loveseat, the dining table and 6 chairs. I have a whole new outdoor 'room' for a fraction of the price of buying from Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn or C&B. I looked at the furniture for all of those and feel that the quality of this is just as good. Yes I agree that the cushions are not really that great fabric wise, but you can buy new cushions with the savings!

Strathwood St. Croix Aluminum Dining Armchair with Cushion, Set of 2
Amazon Price: $123.27
Customer Review: These chairs are really nice. They are very comfortable and well made. The price was a little more than I wanted to spend, but I could not find anything equally as nice at lower price. I guess you can say that I'm happy with my new chairs.

Strathwood Cast Aluminum Garden Bistro Set
Amazon Price: $139.99
Customer Review: I was relying on Amazon's usually good feed back to select this set. I am use to reasonable quality at a fair price this set is neither. Poor machining, and poor structural design at the price of welded aluminum quality sets. Buyer beware, I recommend not buying any of these sets without physically looking them over. I believe a reasonable price would be 69.99 for the quality level in both finish and structural design I bought a similar set here at 199 and it is not good. Amazon should be doing a better job screening its venders quality of product. This is not what you are looking for, unless you are planning short term use and will be discarding it next year. It is made for a small oriental body and if you have normal kids, I do not believe it will hold up past the first season.

Strathwood Cypress All-Weather Wicker Bistro Chair With Cushion, Brown
Amazon Price: $139.99
Customer Review: This chair/ottoman set was a pleasent surprise. The units are very sturdy. The chair is comfortable to sit in. The ottoman is a little higher than normal but I have found it useful for placing a plate of food while lounging in my new wicker chair.

The cushion is appropriately firm but supportive. While the title calls it "all weather" I would not actually leave this out in the hot sun or rain. I currently keep mine indoors, but it would be perfect in a covered patio.

Strathwood 14-Inch Outdoor Pillows, Set of 2, Garnet
Amazon Price: $34.99
Customer Review: The pillows arrived even earlier than expected and they are bright and cheerful. They add a nice bit of color to the bench I purchased them for. They are well made and very attractive. I have had them outside since their purchase and they still mantain their color and sturdiness.

Strathwood Set of 2 Garden Stake Cone Lanterns with Brushed Copper Finish
Amazon Price: $38.40
Customer Review: The poles are pretty weak and wobbly but other than that we really like the torches.

Strathwood Lanai Dining All-Weather Wicker Side Chair, Set of 2
Amazon Price: $199.99
Customer Review: These are beautiful and comfortable. They were exactly what I was looking for. We are using them inside instead of as patio furniture and they look great.

Customer Review: We ordered this item on Wednesday, it arrived by Friday, and it took less than 2 hours to assemble. It was very easy to put together. The quality exceeded our expectations given how affordable the set was. The look is classy, and the chairs and ottomans are very comfortable! This was a great find.

Outdoor Patio Furniture: Deep Seating Sectional Set
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Bought a set a week ago. After received the product, I assembled the sofa; one of the screw was broken. The cap was detached and leave the screw in the hole without cap. Tried to get a new screw from the seller for replacement, got back a sympathetic email but told me they don't have an extra screw for me and suggested that I get it from local hardware store. Man, that is the moment I regret doing internet shopping, you often left helpless when you need the support.

Backyard Teak Patio

Garden furniture can be purchased by set consisting of a garden table, four to six patio chairs and a parasol. Garden parasols are specialized type of outdoor umbrella designed to fit through a hole in the centre of the garden table and secured in a base. Long chairs, often called as chaise lounges, are also good furniture to mix with.

The materials used to manufacture modern patio furniture include stones, metals, vinyl, plastics, glass, and treated woods. Plastic or synthetic garden furniture is naturally waterproof, allow you to leave it out all year round. But do not allow rain water to collect at the back of chairs, because surprising amount of dirt can be formed.

Wooden garden furniture can be damage through frequent exposure to sun and rain, therefore needs to be maintained. One commonly used material for outdoor furniture is Teak. Teak contains natural oil called silica which makes it resistant to decay, and extreme weather conditions. It is also fire, acid and alkalis resistant. Aluminum garden furniture is strong and will last long.

Despite that, factors such as suntan lotions, perspiration due to extreme hotness and carbon monoxide can weaken the powder coating that protects it. To maintain the furniture, it should be cleaned frequently with a solution of mild washing up detergent and warm water, and then let it dry completely.
