Nothing special, just cheap. Me and my boyfriend just got a house with a patio, and we want a table and chairs for out there. The cheapest thing I found at Wal-Mart was like 150 and the table was tiny. I can't even find just a plastic table and chairs. We live in Western PA, I'm hoping theres a secret used store or something someone might know about:) lol

why not invest in something that will last you longer than a year, you can check end of season sales in september and garage sales for now, even if you find some resin chairs or plastic ones you can always paint them to match whatever decor you want to have on your patio.
The first patio we had i bought the blow up furniture to get us through the first summer (i got it really cheap) and the next year we bought nice stuff, sadly i sold it when i moved and am now in the same predicament as yourself.

A guide to cheap outdoor furniture where all your questions about cheap outdoor furniture are answered here.

I just moved into this new condo with a huge, back patio. Right now, it's empty. I'm sorta on a budget right now because the condo wasn't cheap. Any help?

This is the PERFECT time of year to buy furniture!

I would pick up a Sunday Paper in your area and go through the sale ads... This is the time to buy! Great sales going on everywhere... depending on how much you want to spend, you may be able to get a really nice set, that will last for years to come.

You can always go with the cheaper plastic furniture, until your budget allows.

check out slickdeals.net, they often have sales for Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart... just check it out... You will find something to suit your needs!

I hope this helps.. Good Luck in your search.... ( I better get an invite to the party!!!!!)


***PS... here is a coupon for $10 off $25 or more at Lowes...(you can print multiple copies, and just make multiple purchases!!!)

I found designs in a book on how to build your own kitchen table and I was wondering would it be cheaper to build one or buy one? The same goes for a bookshelf or outdoor bench.

It depends on the quality. Generally store bought, mass produced furniture will be cheaper. Say you'll use 2/3 sheet of plywood on your project. You still have to buy the whole sheet up front. If it were being mass produced, you would get three units out of every two sheets. Multiply this with all materials including hardware, which is cheaper bought in quantity, and you have cheaper furniture at the store. Also, you'll need the right tools, and there is ALWAYS some other tool you could have.

But this isn't really about the cost. Nothing beats building and then using something you built yourself. By all means, try it. Set realistic goals, so you don't get overwhelmed and quit. Have fun.

The one thing you are wrong about it was not organized by people who entered this country illegally. These illegals are not educated enough to put on an Easter hunt no less a mass protest. This is done by very organized advocates for a political power agenda. These people are the most anti American group in the country and dangerous.
They are gaining more power political.
We have let this issue get so far out of hand. No matter what happens tomorrow it is only the beginning.

The area is long and narrow, 8 feet by 23 feet. The long front is screened; the two end walls are beige stucco, like house. Ceiling is white. I'm getting a ceiling fan. I have green indoor-outdoor carpet, a bit worn, but okay.
There's a white plastic chaise lounge with green striped cushion and a white plastic table with four chairs. I have place mats and silk tulips on the table. There's one small white plastic table.

I don't love the white plastic patio furniture, but it's all I can afford right now. I want to accessorize and add some wall decor to the stucco, if possible. But what?

I don't have a green thumb, and I live in Florida. I will add some plants and flowers, but need suggestions.

It's hot and humid here. Fabrics fade and mildew. During certain seasons, yellow pollen lies thick as powder over everything. So I have to be practical.

It doesn't have to look like Martha Stewart dropped by, but I do need practical, inexpensive suggestions. Ideas, please!!

Pick a color and stick to it for flowers and other accessories. Add candles in varying heights to the tables. Hang pictures if you like or baskets with plants. You can buy a couple of the 'basket weave' metal trash cans for around $3.00 each. line them with peat moss and add a tall green plant. Put one on either side of the door.

Add a small throw pillow to the chaise lounge.
You can paint the chairs and tables for just a few bucks if you want a change. (dark forest green?)

Add a cheap rug (sisal), a bowl of fruit (oranges - as orange would be a great accent color for your area), a couple of flowering plants (orange inpatients?) , a table cloth in a tropical print of green, orange, yellow, white, and you have a whole new look.

Shop thrift stores and yard sales.

Hope this helps. :)
