The prices seem to be all over the place. I'm trying to find a dining set, and ideally a couple small tables and some rockers.

We just bought two chairs and a table from Lowe's . You're right , prices are all over the map . Amazon has a huge selection also . Cast aluminum is the only way to go if it's exposed to the weather .

Brown and Jordan but can be very pricey. I inherited an extensive set when we bought our latest house and have been very pleased.

Look for used, Craigslist or OfferUp. Tropitone is what we bought, it’s stood up very well over 20 years. Unfortunately can ‘t find any swivel rockers to match the old ones we have, we love them.
