I am about due for a new patio set.
After many winters, dogs, and other detriments, my patio set has seen better days.
I am due for a new set.
How to choose the perfect patio set
I did a bit of research to get some ideas on how to choose the perfect set.
Here is what I learned:
Before you head out to the store, consider the following:
The amount of space available for your set
This can make the difference between purchasing a chaise,chairs and a table or a small table with two chairs

Is durablility the most imporant factor for you?
If you have kids, weather or other factors that can affect your furniture, you may want to avoid items such as glass table tops. Wrought iron furniture tends to last longer than naby of the other options as long as you paint it as needed.

Are looks most important for you?
Somtimes the good looking items can be durable while at other times, they just look really good.
There are wood and wicker options that may look a lot better than the usual aluminum options. Also, a prettier outdoor set can mean added cushions etc.

Who will be using the furniture?
Will you be entertaining when you intend to use the furniture? Are you getting your funriture to simply lie down and enjoy the weather? The purpose for the furniture often dictates the purchase itself.
