Durable Outdoor Patio Furniture

Christine Tranchilla

last month

I’m in the market for outdoor patio furniture that is DURABLE and low maintenance.

I’m considering splurging on Summer Classics with sunbrella cushions. The set that fits our space best is aluminum. Summer Classics says it will not rust however the salesperson at our local retails advises against the aluminum and says since it will be near a salt water pool it will rust.

Does anyone have experience with Summer Classic Aluminum and its longevity? Especially near pools?
Those with teak, how big of a headache is the teak maintenance? My husband is very against teak because of the maintenance.

Thanks!

Aluminum patio furniture generally holds up well near pools, but it's wise to consider the specific conditions of your area. Teak does require maintenance, so if you're looking for low maintenance, it might not be the best choice.
