What's a good place to buy reasonably priced patio furniture? Want to get the best for the cheapest price, obviously. Wal-Mart the place to go?

Just drive around on trash night and take the stuff people set on the curb. Seems like people do that here every week

I got a whole set for less than $500: glasstop table and chairs that seats 6 (came with umbrella), matching glasstop bar with 2 bar stools and 2 lounge chairs.
I got it at Lowes. The chairs are scrubbable, so I don't have to piss around removing cushions every time its going to rain.

We just bought ours at Lowe's this season and we love it. It was around $700 for a square table, 4 chairs, cushions and umbrella.

We got ours at Target last year. Four chairs, square glasstop table, and an umbrella for a little less than $200.

Yes, $200... that's more like it.

We bought ours late in the summer last year...so the set was on sales.

That's priced at $375 right now...but it will probably be down about $200 by the end of summer.

$700 isn't outrageous for the set we bought. Go to a place like Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware and you'll pay over $2,500 for something similar.

Kmart has the Martha Stewart collection which is some very nice stuff.

I'm not crying. You gave no reference for what "reasonably priced" was in your initial post.

I'm wondering WHEN you bought yours?

Because, not to sound condescending or anything, but, I got a lot more than you did for about $200 less.
BTW, I got mine in October of last year (end of season)

Sounds to me, like stealing it from Justin's house would be best.

Probably early May. It was a new set for this season. You got your stuff cheaper because it goes on sale at the end of the season. Sitting around all summer with no patio furniture isn't worth saving $200.

Correct. I get a new set about every 4 years, and then give the old one away. But, I always buy the stuff after season and put it in the shed until the next spring.

Yeah, I'm a schedule type of person lol
