We are putting a pool and outdoor kitchen in our backyard, so now I'm on the hunt for patio furniture. Specifically, looking for a dining set, a conversational set and pool lounge chairs. They don't need to match specifically, but definitely coordinate.
I've never bought patio furniture before, so I don't even know where to start looking.
I guess it all depends on your budget - there is a huge range. We have cheap chairs we bought at Costco when we first moved in. I found some side tables at a second hand store and that meets our needs.
There is a speciality store near me that sells high end outdoor furniture. Sometimes I buy replacement cushions there. Their stuff is more traditional than my taste but if we were going to spend real money on outdoor furniture, I'd look there to see what they have access to that suits my style.
Outdoor stuff is everywhere though - Target, Sears, Ikea, Macy's, etc. Fortunoff (http://www.fortunoffbys.com/index.html) has an outdoor store near me too although I've never been in it. And then there are the online retailers. I do have a telescoping umbrella from Overstock. Wayfair might be a good source too. For awhile I got a specialty catalogue stuff but I can't remember the name. I'm sure someone else with chime in with it.
Like OscarQ, I was all "Frontgate!" They actually have some reasonably priced furniture and nice sales. Improvements Company has some furniture and is part of the Frontgate family. We actually have a eucalyptus sofa and ottoman from there that are very solid.
In addition to all the stores mentioned, check locally.
If budget weren't a concern, I'd be all over Frontgate. Here is their Outdoor Lookbook, at least for some ideas.
Thanks! We haven't really landed on a budget for the furniture portion yet. I'm not opposed to investing a bit into it if that means avoiding having to replace every couple of years.

I would also check out Pottery Barn. They have a great outdoor selection, and free design services.
