    Hey all,
    saw this down the street from my house as I was taking the kids to school today and stopped in and asked how much he wanted for it. He said he just wanted to get rid of it since he bought a new one and to give him $20 bucks for lunch. I went ahead and gave him 30 and he helped me load it in to the truck. it was in OK shape but I threw a coat of spray paint. My wife likes bright colors so I gave her blue and black. The black chair is how it was when I got it.

    That's a nice patio set for $30 and some spray paint.
    GF's been bugging me for a new set for a few years now - can't part with what I paid 125 for 8years ago:whistle:

    Yea the wife was really happy. Ours was in pretty bad shape. Wicker was really beat up. I saw a similar set as this one at Lowes for close to 350 so I did well. 4 cans of paint and 1 hour of time and elbow grease later the set looks good.

    Wicker will take a beating over the years. BUT, for $30 you can't go wrong with what you got.
    Happy wife=happy will

    That is a decent set. I like the way the chairs will tip, rock.
    I paid $500 for a set at HD a few years back. It is a high set. Hated it right from the start. Not good for large people. Gave it away to my daughter. They are happy with it. I bought molded plastic that cost very little, but we can get up and down without issue. Also had one of those lawn swings with the canopy. Gave that away also. What good is it if it hard to get off it.
