Outdoor Furniture

Does anyone have much experience buying outdoor furniture?

I'm looking for some pieces to go on my decking like a sofa set and some chairs, there's tons of companies out there but it all looks the same but prices vary quite a bit. I need something that can stay outdoors pretty much all year round and I was thinking about synthetic rattan furniture like this:

The only point I will say is although they 'can' stay outdoors all year your better off getting some sort of cover for the lot otherwise they will look tired after one year, that's why I bought teak stuff as it genuinely can stay out doors all year and needs looking at every 5 years.

Yeah I will definitely get a cover - I don't have a huge amount of space so wooden furniture would be a bit of a squeeze sadly.

Can anyone recommend any retailers or do they tend to be very similar?
