Just kidding!
Let's discuss patio furniture---the good, the bad and the ugly.
I have a second hand set, "wrought" iron with an expanded steel top, given to me by my late sister (the good) after she got a new patio set.
After 24 years, it could use a new coat of paint---maybe this Summer? This is what sees the most use----coffee in the mornings, wine in the evenings, backgammon, Brandy and cigars with friends etc....
I also have a classic wooden picnic table that served us well until it warped (the bad.) The screws it had been assembled with couldn't be backed out to effect repairs, so it's banished to an unused corner of the yard, serving as a workbench where I put a piece of sheet metal on top and melt lead (long story) using an old Coleman propane stove and cast iron sauce pan. It's not used for anything else because of the danger from contamination. Some day it will probably collapse.
Those huge wooden cable spools were popular patio tables back in the 1970's and I'd love to have one because I have many fond memories of sitting around such monstrosities (the ugly) during college days, but sadly, I haven't seen any in decades.
I'm blessed with a large patio, but if I had to move into an apartment with a token a patio, I'd consider a little two seat Bistro set
So what's your patio furniture situation like?
