I have been looking all over ottawa and I can't find decently priced pieces, they all come in sets. anyone have any suggestions?

I would have a good look around on eBay. Although you do have to be careful and only buy from those with a good feedback rating I have seen some wonderful furniture on there and they will ship to your door. I think most of it is imported in any case. I have had a lot of success buying on that site - items both large and small. Amazon is good too.

If you have seen patio furniture you like locally but it is just too expensive then hang around (if you can) until the end of the season and see if it is reduced.

One thing to be aware of is that you are not always comparing like with like when you compare prices on patio furniture - see the article below

I just moved to an apartment with a decent sized balcony. I have shade a good part of the day, and the breeze is fantastic. I want furniture comfortable enough that I could fall asleep on. I'm not worried about functioning for eating or anything, but I'd at least like seating for 2. A hammock would eat up all my space with the stand, so that's the only no go I have.

Any ideas?

I like those wooden steamer chairs - the kind you get on cruise ships which you can use like a chair or a recliner and really lie back and relax in the sun. Get folding versions so that you have more space when not in use.

The most important thing with any furniture you buy will be the patio cushions - the depth and quality of the cushions will give you comfort while the design will give you the attractive look you are seeking.

No use having beautiful furniture and then covering it with cheap patio cushions.

You can buy these in all colors and patterns to suit your taste - but nice and deep will mean that they are super comfortable on hard patio furniture.

I purchased a patio set from Chase Pitkin before it closed and now I need the name of the brand to fix a broken item. The table is black aluminum with a greenish tinted glass table top. The chairs are also black aluminum slingback with green meshlike seats/seat back. It also has a black umbrella stand with green umbrella. This set also came in blue. Please help!

First of all it sounds ugly as all hell, Chase Pitkin was like a glorified K-mart that is why we went out of business, everything there was from Korea (cheap merchandise over priced). Go to Bed Bath and Beyond, Neimann- Marcus or Macy's even. The brand of the set is either Problemasticate or Childrenofthecornicus.
