We loved our ok’d patio furniture.  Truly. But it wasn’t rust revisitant and with three/four dogs and one in particular that has to Lee on everything and did for three years straight-it ate through the legs of the chairs...so it was a, do we end up buying to replace knowing that little Napoleon complex psycho is going to ruin the legs every few years or try something different.... LOVING the new furniture SO much more than we ever thought. Lower, yes.  But leaves us with more room to view the yard and fingers crossed the wood will outlast the little dog .
