April 2010 This year, all the stores have decided that people want to host formal Martha Stewart dinners with china in their backyards. We have been looking for regular 'ol, inexpensive patio furniture and it seems that no one(OSH, Home Depot, Target, etc.) has this. Everything has fancy chairs with brocade pillows and formal dining tables (even Walmart has $800 sets online). Has anyone seen a store selling a simple, inexpensive patio set, preferably in wood? Would prefer a round table with an umbrella and 4 chairs, if it folded up that would be nirvana. However, would be thrilled to find something even close. Patio Patty Last time I was in there, Ikea had some fairly nice, simple patio furniture in wood and all-weather wicker. I've seen fold-up sets in metal but not in wood -- I think they were at one of the places you mentioned, Target or Home Depot maybe.

Maybe they have the simpler stuff hidden somewhere behind all the giant curtained gazebos. JP 2005 - 2009 Recommendations Wrought iron patio furniture Sept 2006 Hi! We are looking for nice iron patio furniture. We are having a difficult time finding a good dealer. Can anyone suggest a place? david Yesterday I bought a lovely set of patio furniture for my mother as a present. The table was mosaic tile on a metal (possibly iron?) base, and came with four matching chairs (for $300). The people who dropped it off were very punctual and pleasant to deal with. For the price, I was assuming that it would be a used set, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they create these tables themselves. They can make a new table to your specifications, if you like. happy patio furniture purchaser I can tell you where NOT to go - that is PatioWorld in Pleasanton.

We will have this project completed in early June and are now shopping for nice wood patio furniture to match. We want a table and chairs, and a bench. We wood like to have all wood furniture (not the half metal - green/wood combo I have seen on cheaper wood benches). Any advice on where to get high quality furniture like this at prices that aren't too outrageous? Try Patio World in Lafayette. They offer a few lines of quality wood furniture, however it's not particularly inexpensive. They're located in downtown Lafayette.

I think they have a sale once or twice a year, so that might help. We got our furniture there. Bob Nice redwood patio furniture Feb 2004 I am looking for some nice, but inexpensive wooden (preferably redwood) patio furniture. I have checked the website and found two recommendations, IKEA and Safeway. I am looking for a not-so- lightly colored type of wood, so IKEA is really out. I did call several Safeways, but the person(s) I got to talk to didn't seem to know anything about Safeway offering furniture. Does anyone have any other recommendations or is Safeway maybe just not selling them during wintertime ? Andrea Actually, the lawn or garden furniture that IKEA sells is mostly darker wood. What you may have seen there already is wicker or bent wood, which is lighter, is year round. But their ''Summer'' furniture, though not redwood or teak (going against the philsophy of IKEA, expensive woods that take years and years to replenish) is very similar to cedar in color. Their summer range doesn't come out until late March/ early April however, and then goes pretty fast b/c a) it's so inexpensive and b) because once it's gone they do not replenish it, being seasonal.

anon i bought a redwood patio set from safeway two years ago. it was so inexpensive and i've conditioned it w/teak oil. i haven't seen the set since last summer. it's not a high quality set but man for the price it works for us, and it looks great. i bet they'll have it again closer to summer. i love my safeway set Ikea wood patio furniture? June 2003 Has anyone purchased any of the Ikea wood patio furniture this year or last? How has it held up? There is a wide of range prices and I am wondering if the lowest price product would hold up for a season. Any other places to find simple, sturdy reasonably priced wood patio furniture? Thanks stuart Two months ago we bought our wood patio furniture from Safeway! It came with a round table that can extend into a larger oval table, 4 individual chairs with arm rests, a bench with arm rests that can fit 2 people, and green seat cushions for all the chairs and the bench. It was on sale for $299 I think. The wood pieces were well oiled. I was told by a friend who bought a set from Safeway a few years ago to make sure we wipe the oil so when we sit down, it won't get on our clothes.

Not all the Safeways have it... for instance, the Castro Valley Safeway didn't have it, but the Dublin Safeway did plus they had one on display. It comes in about 4 large boxes (so you need a truck or a large vehicle), and you need to assemble it... pretty easy. Also, the advertisement for the patio set said a chaise and rocking bench were available, but the Dublin store didn't have it. Also, an umbrella that matches the cushions is available for purchase. After we bought our set, our friend bought the same set. We've only had it for about 2 months, so I can't say if it will hold up nicely or not. The set looks great, and we cover it with plastic when we're not using it. The plastic we bought at Carol Wright Gifts. / then do a search on ''table cover'' Elise We bought a wood patio set from IKEA about 2 years ago. I have never covered it and it has sat in our backyard the entire time in the sun and rain. It still looks good and has held up very well. It is a long regtangular table with two benches that have backs on them.
