These tips are so good and I wish we'd seen things like this a few years ago. We purchased a teak outdoor dining set from Jordan's Furniture for over $3k and when I tell you I've regretted it from almost the moment we bought them. It turns out, there was a reason this "outdoor" dining set was on display inside. If you're not in an enclosed porch (we have a covered porch but not enclosed) you will spend countless hours cleaning and oiling this furniture every year. I have 3 young children and work full time..this was the most impractical purchase we've ever made!
How disappointing—and frustrating, Anna! And so many have been similarly misled. Your experience is a good reminder that even a covered porch is not sufficient protection.
LOVE this newsletter and the sentiment to DIY an answer. I wish I could add a photo in the comments, but I will share a shot of similar Wave Hill-inspired chairs at Maddoo that I think you will like

Thank you! Please share in Substack chat. I’m hoping to get image sharing going there.
