Many New Yorkers reside in apartments with private patios or own gorgeous brownstones with expansive terraces and gardens, so it is crucial that furniture can withstand all four elements.
Certain outdoor furnishings require significant upkeep, like wood furniture. Others require little to no attention; coated metals should prevent moisture damage to avoid corrosion and rusting.
Teak
Teak outdoor dining chairs and tables are an invaluable asset in any Westchester backyard. Constructed of durable hardwood, Teak’s natural oils make it weatherproof while its golden brown hue eventually fades to an elegant silvery gray tone over time – never cracking or warping in response to harsh outdoor elements!
Laura’s offers only environmentally-friendly teak furniture of premium grade quality for their environmentally friendly offerings, from lounge chairs and tables to patio benches that add style and comfort to any outdoor space. You will find stunning designs here that add style and functionality.
Our selection of teak furniture includes pieces from top brands like Kingsley Bate and Three Birds Casual. These manufacturers are renowned for their high-quality luxury products and superior craftsmanship; offering styles to meet every need ranging from classic to contemporary. All our pieces are constructed using sustainable wood from legal sources using mortise-and-tenon construction techniques for optimal performance.
Laura’s has everything you need, from two-person bistro tables and teak dining sets for four to a large outdoor dining set with seating for ten. Many of our modular teak dining sets can be combined together for the ideal configuration in your yard; additionally, we carry custom covers designed specifically to protect furniture against rainwater and pollutants.
Choose between natural/unfinished, sealed and preweathered teak furniture options. Unfinished teak will gradually turn silvery gray over time; while sealed or preweathered versions retain their golden brown hue for much longer. To maintain this golden hue in your teak furniture, seal it once or twice each year; as sealants wear down over time it may require periodic re-sealing as well as using teak cleaner that restores original luster of furniture – however the best way to keep your furniture beautiful is simply enjoying it!

Aluminum
Aluminum patio furniture offers many advantages over its steel counterpart, such as no rusting and easy cleanup. Furthermore, being lightweight makes moving aluminum furniture around your patio simple; whether that means moving it under shade if it gets too hot during the daytime or setting it around a fire pit for evening gatherings.
Though aluminum is an affordable material, it is not storm-proof. High winds may cause it to move around freely and cause damage to furniture or your yard, necessitating heavy-duty furniture covers for your aluminum patio chairs and tables if you live in an area with high wind speeds. Steel may be better in these instances.
Similar to aluminum, steel can also be easily cleaned; however, regular refinishing will be necessary in order to keep it looking its best. Furthermore, steel may become extremely warm or cold depending on climate changes causing customers to feel uncomfortably warm or cold when touching it directly, creating an uncomfortable environment.
At 1stDibs, you can find aluminum and steel patio furniture in various styles for sale. Sets may include dining chairs, lounge chairs, swivel rockers and gliders as well as coffee and side tables that you can mix and match to create the ideal patio layout. Individual chairs and tables can also be purchased to add a more customized touch. For instance, the Vienna Sling Collection of dining chairs comes equipped with high backs for comfort as well as quick dry texteline seats that require no maintenance – perfect for either poolside dining or formal occasions alike. Other outdoor dining sets boast classic transitional designs with durable Sunbrella sling seats that are both comfortable and versatile, adding additional seating options such as sofas or loveseats to expand seating capacity. Each furniture set comes in multiple color choices and is covered by a 15 year frame warranty for added peace of mind.
