Classic Adirondack at Penney's for Pennies

If you need to get in gear for summer, JC Penney has their collection of Adirondack furniture (chairs and the little folding table) seriously marked down.

These chairs are so classic, you really can't go wrong. Plus, they're made of acacia and fir (yes, real wood) and have weather resistant finishes.

They're only available online or via catalog order, so don't rush out to your local mall.

Adirondack chair, $89
Adirondack table, $25

The retro-inspired Orbit outdoor lounger set is on sale at Crate and Barrel for $199! Summer's barely here and we're already marking down patio furniture? Sounds good to me.

Stackable Planters = Living Space Divider

These stackable planters look like aged terracotta, but they're actually made from composite (and light at 15.4 lbs).

Line them up to create a modern railing that looks like something you'd find on a European side-street. Or stack them for a stunning sculpture.

Tuttisuperterra planter, $295.

Andy Warhol Tacoma Plates

15 minutes of fame? Try 15 minutes to sell out. Two of these Andy Warhol plates from Crate and Barrel are already sold out on the site. Use them indoors or out, but get them soon.

Melamine Tacoma Flower plates with embossed signature on back. $1.95 each from Crate and Barrel.

Thanks to my friend Karen E. for the tip.

Patio Furniture: More than Meets the Eye

You may have heard about Transformers, the live-action Dreamworks movie, but what about the patio furniture? These Obelisk Chairs, made of woven polyethylene with a powder-coated aluminum frame, fit together to form a sculptural rocket-like cone that is highly unlikely to turn evil and attempt world domination.

Robot jokes aside, the set is quite stylish and practical. Too bad it weighs in at a whopping $8,922. I'll wait for the Target sequel.

Table-less Dining Done Right

The picnic season is fast approaching and dining outdoors is getting a little bit easier thanks to designer Wolf Udo Wagner. Urbana, his light-weight dining set for urban eating al-fresco, is a wonderful alternative to wasteful paper plates or toting around your good china.

Each plate comes with a multi-use utensil which functions not only as fork, knife, and spoon, but also as an integrated handle which turns the plate into a tray. The plates can be turned facing one another and locked with a screw, holding the accompanying cups and utensils inside.

Urbana products are for sale at Simplicitas.com, a Swedish design site; however, when I clicked the “buy” button, I got an “under construction” error. It sounds as though the product will be officially available starting this May.
