This is our first summer in the new house, so the patio set was a big decision. I had in mind something very specific: aluminum, neutral, stylish, no glass top, and seating for 6 while fitting on our patio. But everything that fit my requirements in appearance didn't fit our budget requirement. One way or another, something would have to be sacrificed; I wouldn't be able to have it all.
I looked at several patio sets on my own before Chad and I went to Home Depot. He spotted a Martha Stewart patio set that he said would be perfect. It fit the budget, was neutral, and had seating for 6. The best part was the shape. We loved the hexagon for our patio. The only drawbacks were a glass top and it was made of steel instead of aluminum.
Two weeks went by before we made a decision. And we decided to go for it. We also got a new Weber grill. Now we can enjoy our backyard for our first summer in the house!
