<p>I’m not into “high maintenance” outdoor furniture - or much of anything, lol.</p>
<p>We had quality teak in our home in the Northeast (Smith and Hawken, as I recall; pricey). It ages to a silver gray if you don’t oil it (which we didn’t) and the silver gray is attractive. BUT we didn’t take it inside seasonally (heavy) and we had a huge deck, so lots of pieces… ergo, it would get mossy and splintery.</p>
<p>The wrought iron we’ve had (in Southern California climate) for several years still looks great. Has not needed painting after several years. Very attractive, comfortable - even without cusions - for dining, sitting and chatting. But it is not lounge-type furniture.</p>
