We are currently considering which outdoor furniture to choose for our patio. I would prefer something comfortable to lounge in since we will already have a dining set in the gazebo. That’s why I like the idea of a lounge set. However, I'm wondering how durable these pieces are. Our patio is not covered, and the furniture would have to stay outside during winter as well.
I was thinking of something like this:
The furniture is made of aluminum with rattan.
Does anyone have experience with this type of furniture? Can it withstand all weather conditions if left outside? Would protective covers be enough?
What kind of outdoor furniture have you chosen for your patio, and why?

Rattan is not an option for me, I agree with zaba. I’m not even 70 yet There are also stylish and straight-lined options available.
When it comes to garden furniture, it’s similar to indoor furniture: whether from large furniture stores, Scandinavian chains, or nationwide garden centers, you’ll find many affordable pieces without long-term value, but everything (mainstream) looks nice enough.
Online shops are no different.
I would simply suggest visiting accessible stores: local shops and garden centers, smaller furniture stores that might have individual pieces. Quality and design here truly matter more than price.
And comfort is something you have to test for yourself.
I am currently researching new garden furniture. Since we first want to install a permanent roof structure over the patio, I’m not sure if we will buy the furniture this year or wait until next year.
Still, a question:
We looked around a bit and like stainless steel furniture with Textilene fabric the most. Our favorite chairs in the store were from the One series by Zebra. The armrests are made of teak, which is quite common.
We would like to keep the furniture outside under the roof all year round and cover it with a protective sheet in winter at most. The roof structure is open on three sides, only protected on the house side (south-facing patio).
Should I be concerned that the wood will deteriorate quickly? Would it be better to choose chairs without any wood in this case?

Wood is a very durable material, provided it is properly maintained.
Oiling the teak armrests once at the start of the season takes about 10 minutes.
Leaving them under the roof also provides very good protection.
Long live wood in the armrest! You tend to stick to plastic, and metal burns you when the chair is exposed to the sun.
