What is the best metal garden furniture?

The best metal garden furniture is really a matter of preference. Durable, comfortable outdoor furniture is critical to your hosting a successful social gathering in the garden or on your patio. When shopping for garden furniture, consider the climate where you live and what kind of weather conditions that you’ll experience over a given year. Certain wood outdoor furniture may lose its finish or warp during a hard winter, and while regular steel garden furniture may corrode if left out in the elements over time, it is largely unaffected by sunlight. Plastic or rubber outdoor furniture will likely be vulnerable to UV damage, however. Find a range of antique and vintage garden furniture on 1stDibs.
