That couple are going to have bad karma!!!

I gave up searching for an affordable patio set this summer. I can buy one at the end of the season, like you are going to, but I realized that my $30 green hard plastic table, and 4 hard plastic white chairs ($7 each), sat out there all winter, through all of the snow, wind and rain, and they are just fine! They needed a wash down, and one chair needed to bee replaced. I cracked the leg. So...what I will look for is a really beautiful patio umbrella on sale.

I also put lots of plants out there, and lounge chairs.

Another plus for the plastic kinds is that they don't need to be packed away and stored in the winter.

Judy, we had a plastic set at my old house before I moved to the condo, and I forget whether it was fall or spring, but still cold enough that it was freezing overnight, and the table tipped over in the wind and the whole top cracked! My parents have lots of the chairs at the cabin though and they do hold up pretty well!

I was browsing on the same classified site this morning and came across a glass-top table with 6 chairs for $75. Can't beat that! They're taupe in color and the chairs are kind of weaved cloth. I wish I could copy the picture for here but they already took the ad down after we replied! We're going to look at it tonight and they'll hold it for us until we can get a truck to pcik it all up! The table has a hole for an umbrella but no umbrella comes with it. That's okay though. there's a nice big tree that shades the part of the deck where we'd put it anyway!

Nevermind, I found it! Here is it shown with 4 of the chairs...

It's pretty plain but it's a place to eat!

Nevermind again! They just called Scott back and said it was sold to someone else. I guess it just wasn't meant to be! It's tough when Scott and I both have jobs and can't get away for things like this!

That was rude again!!!! What they can't wait a few hours for someone to pay them for the set?.......GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

[Lindsey]

I know Diana! I used the same site to sell a lot of things when we renovated the condo, from mirrors and lights to the fridge, stove, and dishwasher! The first person who responded would get the first chance, and for everyone else I would tell them "Someone is coming to look tonight, and I will get back to you if they don't take it"

I don't know if you have the same supermarkets or drug store chains, but I have seen tables like that at both, with the chairs, and the prices are really good.

It is a very nice looking set!
