Aluminum is almost perfect material for outdoor furniture: it is weather-resistant, it does not rust, stain, get moldy or warped. It is light and it can be easily moved around for a group of unexpected guests. Aluminum can be shaped in almost any form, so there are aluminum chairs and tables in super-modern, ergonomic form, and others resembling traditional Parisian bistro furniture. Some people find aluminum cold, but with a coat of vivid paint, it can be as cheerful on the patio as wood or plastic. Patio chairs with colorful, plush cushions look luxurious and opulent. Very popular aluminum outdoor furniture, particularly chairs, is stackable, for easy storage. Comfortable and affordable strap chairs are also made of aluminum frame with vinyl seats and backs. Aluminum is often painted and formed to resemble wrought iron, but keep in mind that it is much lighter than iron. If aluminum outdoor furniture has one drawback, it is that it is so light that a strong wind can easily rearrange your patio set and you might have to run after your chairs.
