Outdoor furniture has evolved a long way over the years from hard plastic table and chairs covered with vinyl tablecloths. As more families are including their backyards as an extension of their home more and more companies are designing beautiful and weather resistant furniture to accommodate them. New symthetic materials made to look like wood/rattan/wicker are now made that are able to sit outside in the elements without rotting from the damp and rain. Comfy cushions are sewn with materials that are mildew resistant so running them indoors when the weather turns foul is no longer an issue. Many use their back yards for entertaining guests and outdoor couches and lounge chairs bring on a new meaning. Some home owners are creating an outdoor living room situating furniture around their cozy backyard fireplace.
