Patio Dining Furniture

Which do you prefer? This would be for a dining set in cast aluminum that looks like wrought iron and would be used on a wooden deck (not a patio). I like the look of dining chairs (i.e., with legs) because I prefer a traditional style with my old house, but I'm wondering if swivel chairs would be more comfortable and practical on a deck (no legs to get caught in the cracks). Opinions?
One more thing -- swivel chairs cost about twice as much as dining chairs.

I agree with the person who suggested a mix of the 2 kinds of chairs if you have a table large enough for 6 chairs. If you are just getting four chairs, having them all the same will probably look better. Swivel chairs can be very comfortable for just sitting, but I always feel like I have to lean forward uncomfortably to eat at the table because they tend to tilt back slightly. So it really depends, are you planning on using the set mostly for sitting at the table and eating, or for sitting and relaxing? I've never had a problem with the legs on non-swivel chairs getting caught in the deck cracks--but it is something to consider if the cracks on your deck are wider, or the legs are particularly small. Hope you enjoy your deck this summer!

national-office-furniture.com Few months ago I found this fantastic patio dining furniture information. Now here's for you to get it! Free ...

Just purchased an aluminum patio dining set and wonder if anyone has suggestions on how to tie it down, or anchor it. Our area gets pretty windy and the aluminum is pretty lightweight. I want something that won't scratch it, and will keep it from blowing over or away. We were thinking something like pvc pipe, painted of course, because it would keep the chairs tight against each other..... any suggestions?
It's on a concrete patio...

It gets windy where I am too. I have a swing to keep in my yard instead of in the next block. Garden stakes, they work wonders. Check at your local hardware store.

Can anyone suggest a relatively inexpensive place to find patio furniture? We are looking for something basic: dining table, umbrella, 4 chairs or so...we don't need anything fancy and don't want to spend a lot (a few hundred dollars, at most)

Thanks!

I'm looking for clearance or lower priced sites. Not into E-Bay, and I've looked at Walmart, Kmart, Lowe's and Home Depot. I'm looking for both an outdoor dining set and a conversation area set.

Thanks in advance!

How about Sears or JC Penney.

Hi, I want to buy a good quality outdoor dining set, near Rutland Vermont. Can anyone suggest a store? Thanks!

I think Bed, Bath & Beyond would be a great place for you to look. Quality merchandise, and for the most part decent prices make it a VERY appealing place to shop for homewares. Check out the link below for directions to the one in Rutland!
