We have friends who recently picked up their outdoor furniture at Albertsons. The price was right and it took the hassle out of going all over town looking for the right furniture. But had they known about Teak Warehouse, we think it might have been a different story:
With locations all over LA (and one in San Diego) Teak warehouse offers simple outdoor/patio sets in modular set ups, sunbrella fabric and simple silhouettes. Oh and they're all teak, the most durable of the hardwoods (and a reason why they use it for outdoor furniture and why it's often on the more expensive side). Teak furniture needs a little upkeep--some teak oil so it doesn't dry out, etc.-- but it's worth it considering how long the furniture will last (see: Danish Modern). They're also offering sustainably grown teak furniture.
We also noticed on their blog that they're offering some wicker furniture like this awesome garden pod:

Teak Warehouse used to be a wholesale only place but now they offer their wares to the public and have a brand new store in Fountain Valley. Check out some of their weekly sales for an uber deal.
Has anyone bought something from Teak Warehouse? Have anything to share about the experience?
How much is that Garden Pod??? I don't see it on their website.. Love it!

before everyone goes off the deep end and thinks that just because somethign says SUSTAINABLY GROWN on it, make sure that the teak is forest stewardship council or similarly certified.
