Value Patio Lounge Furniture

http://blog.makezine.com/IMG_0429.jpg

I found very stylish and inexpensive outdoor furniture (when I was in a rental a few yrs ago and had a huge terrace) at Bed & Bath. It wasn't the wicker type (I think that can be expensive)...chairs and lunges in a brown-bronze finish with brown mesh...table with a glass top and matching umbrella. All pretty high quality for the price. It was washable, which was an added bonus since outdoor seating can get very dirty in the city.
Hope this helps.

NYCMatt - Lol! You had me hoping there for a second.

Thanks Prada. Spouse really wants the loungy wicker stuff. I just want to get something soon and would settle for a table and chairs if all else fails so we can enjoy our one summer in the place!

A warning about wicker: It's very high-maintenance, and can get pretty "buggy" (bugs, particularly BED BUGS) burrow inside the fibers.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I guess there is something to be said for polyurethane.
