Tips on shopping for outdoor furniture
Wood, aluminum, and wicker are the common types of materials that the framing is made of with outdoor furniture. Each of these has a different look, but the maintenance requirements for wood are much higher than with aluminum.
You should also think about whether you want seating with cushions or not. The cushions have a higher degree of comfort, but have more maintenance to keep them clean from the dust and rain. You might also consider how and where you might store the furniture in the winter time to preserve it.
Here is a great video from Pottery Barn on different materials for outdoor furniture.
