  1. I honestly didn’t have any idea that there were patio conversation sets as low as $199.00. I’m impressed. That really is cheap.

    Of course, it’s like you said, some look nicer than others depending on the person’s personal preferences. But I’d say there’s a choice for about everyone.

    I guess there’s no excuse to leave our patio areas empty. 🙂

      Having an empty patio area is a shame with the prices of a good patio furniture set today. Giving people a choice to match the decor they are looking for is what the sellers are doing today. Each person will have will have a style they like.

  2. I love the color of the first set and the size! Looks perfect! Do you know how this set would do in the Florida sun? Would it last well, and would I need to cover it? Thanks!

      This wet will work well in the sun, the cushions will need to be stored out of the sun when not in use to extend their life. Not made of the best material for sun exposure. Because of their shape, they are easy to replace.

  3. Hello John, So much fun coming to your site to see what you are going to delight us with next. I liked each of these sets.
    What I have noticed is that most are not really well weather proofed. Do you have any suggestions to make them more viable?

      The Wesley Creek would be the most weather proof, as it does not have any cushions. The seating and back have a sling material that dries very quickly and last very well in outdoor conditions.

  4. What an array of great choices! Very nice looking sets and a good price range. It’s plain that a couple look sturdier than the others, but the cool thing is, with good care the less sturdy sets will stand up well, and they look good.

      All of these sets will last very well in outdoor conditions, if you take care of cushions if included. This is the week point of most outdoor furniture.

  5. There is not doubt that all of these are just great to have in my garden, but just as I suspected my eyes fell on the Better Homes & Garden Providence set – and without even looking at the price, I knew it was the one I’d buy! Yep – the most expensive of the lot, haha…that is the Leo in me that has an eye for luxurious comfort!
    Really great suggestions though, and could settle for a more frugal set such as the Mainstays Wesley Creek which looks sleek and comfy too.
    Wishing you $ucce$$

      The sling seating of the Wesley Creek will be very comfortable and you will not need cushions or storage. The Providence set will look great and will be comfortable for all day sitting. Your choice to match a decor or your taste.

  6. Oh my, John, you sure come up with some great suggestions. I am tickled pink that it can be so affordable. My fave is the ‘Better Homes and Gardens Providence’ set. It looks cozy and maybe too ‘pretty’ to be outside. I like them all, with the exception of the ‘red’ color. Great ideas and thanks for sharing, John.
