Curious what my fellow Sherdoggers would recommend when it comes to outdoor furniture. I live in Kansas City, so we get all 4 seasons of the year. Over the past 15 years, any outdoor furniture I've used on the deck/patio, nothing truly holds up. When I say holds up, I mean breaks down or fades rather quickly. I'm wondering what recommendations are out there based on your personal experiences. (material and brand names)
Here is a list of what I've used over the years
Have no idea what brands I have owned, but everything was purchased through Home Depot, Lowe's, and/or True Value/Ace Hardware.
Glass tables with medal legs (HATE THEM)
Glass obtained a foggy look over 6 months and the legs were uneven in the same amount of time causing the table to constantly wobble. Was always nervous during hail storms afraid the glass would shatter, lol.
Wicker chairs with medal frame/legs (Horrible)
The wicker became loose causing the seat to sink in and eventually break over a year. Medal legs became uneven also making the chair wobbly.
Wooden chairs made from pressure treated wood (Mediocre)
This option stood up over time, but everything seems to be built really bulky and isnt the most comfortable, and you definitely have to use cushions (which requires storing during wet weather conditions)
Rod Iron chair and table (Mediocre)
Same as the wood, holds up well over time, but requires cushions for comfortability. The black fades to a brownish color and rust is found in different spots. Pricier than all the other options as well.
