We are currently shopping around for patio furniture, and my husband and I are at odds about what to get. He wants a metal set because he swears they are the best and most durable and all you have to do to take care of them is repaint them. I think that rust would be an issue, and really wouldn’t look forward to removing any rust before repainting. Plus, I don’t really like the look of most metal sets… and the ones I do like are very expensive.
I really like the look of the natural wooden sets, but don’t know much about taking care of them. The wooden sets usually tout that they only need to be oiled occasionally to keep it looking nice. Any care tips or tales of personal experience would be helpful.
