Start thinking about how much maintenance you are willing to do. Will you need certainly to bring the cushions in every time it rains? If that's the case, in which are you going to place them? Can you keep the furniture outside through the winter or are you going to need certainly to keep it for the season? Do you have a location within your house to keep furniture the wintertime? If something calls for many maintenance while're not prepared to do so, then it just will not endure. No matter how much you want the look of the furniture in the store, do not purchase it if you can't keep it.
