Thank you for the response. It is a very small crack; it's located on the arm of the patio chair. Tried taking a photo from a distance and found that crack is not visible if I take a picture from a distance. Also, regarding welding comment: I do not have information available on welding shops close by who will fix it. Also, it does not look like stress crack because arm of the chair hardly gets used. I think it's weathering. Any ideas on how to fix it would be appreciated! Thanks again.

I saw some at IKEA recently, sorry I don't have any details.

I agree that it looks like a stress crack. The stress doesn't have to be from use of the furniture but can be within the metal itself. If this is not a major brand of patio furniture (you can get matching paint from the dealer) my personal approach would be to buy some acrylic/patio paint from a craft store, such as Michaels, and mix colors until you get something that matches your chair. Since the metal appears to be weathered, I would use a matte sealer on top of the acrylic paint (also sold at Michaels) to avoid a shiny repair spot. You may find you don't need any sealer, especially if the furniture is protected from the weather. The craft paints come in very small containers so picking up 2-3 colors to mix/match won't break the bank. Since the crack isn't on a joint I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think a tiny brush and enough paint to cover the exposed aluminum is all you need.

Thank You All. Before I read your responses, I had mocked up a 36" chair to check it out. It didn't grab me. Then I looked at a BUNCH of pins on my Pinterest account...funny, the shorter 36" chairs DID look odd. So, I txt'd her this am, told her I couldn't make it, but told her if she doesn't sell them to let me know. They would make great extra chairs for when the table is extended. Most of those type of chairs I have found are 36" in height. Although occasionally I do find a 40" set. I think I will hold out for either a larger set (dimensions and quantity) or maybe go with a totally different style of chair. Thanks again, you all confirmed what was already in my head. Bee
