We purchased the large Regatta outdoor dining table in gray wash last summer, and there are now some areas on the tabletop in which the gray wash color is worn/chipped off (at the spot that opens to extend the table). The color underneath is a tan natural wood color. We reached out to Crate & Barrel hoping they sold a touch-up kit for the gray wash color (which definitely seems more like a paint and less like a stain) which they do not. We’re very disappointed and will next check with the folks at our hardware store to see if they have any advice. Just keep in mind in case you purchased the extendable table - we have taken good care of the table, including putting it inside in the winter.

We have our patio furniture for 20 years. It is still construction with nylon webbed seats. I cannot remember the name of the manufacturer, but it was expensive then, and probably would be now. I hose it down every spring after it stays covered for the winter. My mother has the same furniture in Florida, and never covers hers. After 30 years, my sister sat in a chair, which finally broke. Your best bet is to go to a patio furniture store and not buy from a website. You want to see what the material is made of. If you prefer cushions, you’ll need to take them to a protected area every time it rains.

All these DTC brands seem to advertise too heavily but seem like rolling a die on comfort and longevity. Outer seems pricey, their consumer showroom model makes me think there is a kickback involved for reviews, and their return policy of 20% plus shipping at those prices is out of whack unless you happen to get to sit in exactly what you get to order. Sunhaven seems a bit cheaper. A lot of the flaws with Outer are excusable at that price range. I don’t know a lot about Neighbor or any of these beyond just taking a glance We were going to see about finding Woodard or another top tier outdoor furniture maker and are still considering it.

Like any other furniture you need to sit on it somewhere . The idea of the folding frames seems great but if you are concerend with comfort no one can tell you what is comfy for you. I cannot even find out where this stuff is made and hunt down reviews I found 2 really bad ones and honestly influencers are not what would drive my choices for anything.
