    Can anyone make a recommendation on patio furniture? I'm looking at couches and chairs.

    My recommendation is spend less on them than you are thinking. One of the most overpriced and least used purchases for a house.

    I love that feeling of finding an item of clothing that just plain works. Depening on what it is, I'll go buy multiple of them and hope they last me for years to come, and no further shopping/discovering is required.

    My two favorites are Under Armour kilchis (3x)

    or

    columbia royce peak pants (5x, multiple colors)

    could be worse. The Milkman's couch purchase reminded me that a girl I grew up with in Louisiana who is now a Dallas socialite with an uberdouche husband registered only at Sur La Table and Restoration Hardware when she got married. I don't think there was a thing on her list for less than $200. She didn't get a gift from us.

    Yea that couch was insane.

    We also registered at Bed bath and beyond and Target. We are having a fancy ass wedding at a Vineyard and I hate everything about it. She's insisting we have a couples shower but I got to plan it.. It's at a bowling alley and everyone is bringing best buy gift cards. :mulletsmug:

    Buy it in the Fall when stores are liquidating to make room. Saved a lot doing that. Goes for most seasonal items really.

    Yes and no. Even if you live somewhere conducive to patio weather chances are you will use it once a week, maybe. Compared to the amount of time you spend in your other living spaces it is generally small.

    No. He did say "good" though. Back to my post earlier this week, I like my alpha jackets for spending 14 hours in the rain sometimes. Wouldn't make sense for someone in the desert though.

    You're going to spend a lot to get genuinely "water proof." Your performance in this thread has consistently shown that price is more important to you than quality. Just get frog toggs and replace them every year or so.
