Buying teak patio furniture online?

[miles267]

Has anyone had success doing this? Time has come to replace our aging power coated furniture around SWCG pool with newer furniture. Preferably something more durable and less prone to the elements.

Overstock seems to have quite a bit of it with free shipping. How is their quality? Is it real teak wood?

Opinions and experiences appreciated. Thank you.

I've had dealings with Overstock.com but not the furniture you're asking about. I have purchased several items from teakwarehouse.com. They are certainly not cheap but their products are the real deal. I was lucky enough to be in the area where their warehouse is (San Diego) and visited to validate their products before I purchased anything ( I am a hobby woodworker so know a bit about exotic woods and furniture construction.) Again, their stuff isn't free but my 6 year old teak furniture still looks great and so do the cushions. That isn't easy to say considering the hot Arizona sun they're exposed to. I highly recommend their products.
