new chair


from salvation army....its good, right?

I am wondering if rattan can stay outside all summer? Can it handle the elements? I think I know the answer to that question, and worst case, I will haul it inside the garage whenever there is rain in the forecast

    You may have to treat it with special paint to leave it outside...but it's lovely and a great find!

    Yes! Totally worth it. That's what I like to see. What a great chair. I wish I could photograph you carrying it on the back of the stroller. Hilarious, Shannon!

    Score! Great find, but I would not leave it out unless it's under a porch and completely covered...the rattan will fall apart...

    great find! funny that i ran across this post (i found you through old brand new) because i just finished googling my options for a rattan swinging pod chair that i scored...i can't decide if i should paint it or restore it with stain & linseed oil. either way, i want it outside! i suppose time will tell how it will hold up. :)

    OMG... Those chairs are fab! Boy I would have been one jealous woman if I saw you scoop that chair up from Salvation Army.

    You always have great finds!
