My housemate has a set that she called painted wrought iron, but it is definitely not wrought iron. I looked up this set on the internet and found that the material is something called "wrought aluminum" – it is lighter weight and cheaper and flimsier and probably why it broke in the first place. She thinks it can be soldered to fix it, but I think it would not work well. I said I think you can solder on iron, but if it had been iron it probably wouldn’t have broken in the first place. I think it is trash now but she thinks it is fixable and worth fixing. Who is right?

I purchased a patio set from Chase Pitkin before it closed and now I need the name of the brand to fix a broken item. The table is black aluminum with a greenish tinted glass table top. The chairs are also black aluminum slingback with green meshlike seats/seat back. It also has a black umbrella stand with green umbrella. This set also came in blue. Please help!
I want to get a bistro set for our front courtyard and I don’t know which material to pick. I heard cast aluminum is rust resistant and lasts longer. However, I live in a very windy area, and I am afraid it won’t be heavy enough. There’s too much concrete going on in that area, so I don’t want concrete furniture, either. Any opinions or suggestions?
