Garden furniture

We had a whizz round ikea and homebase this weekend, mainly to spend hundreds on a lawnmower and other garden stuff, but also to look for garden furniture. (We got a lawnmower - an electric one, after deciding that the petrol ones were too pricey even if they are more practical and powerful. Anyway).

Why is garden furniture so expensive?? Ok, why is decent garden furniture so expensive? We had a look in ikea, and saw a table and chairs which were a possibility, but even for ikea I thought they were a bit much. In the end we settled on a couple of lounger chairs in black and white plastic. They look cool but I don't know if they'll last outside. Our shed isn't big enough (yet another expense). Maybe we should hold off on the furniture - it is only April and the sun might be shining now, but give it a couple of weeks.
