What type of outdoor/patio furniture requires the least maintenance?

We have a new patio and would like to purchase comfortable furniture that can stay out in both sun and rain. Is there a type of patio furniture that will not rust or rot or discolor when left outdoors uncovered?

Most outdoor furniture made out of wrought iron or powder coated aluminum will require maintenance and will rust expecially at weld sites. I have both and repaint or touch up about every three years. That being said, I purchased the new synthetic wicker furniture 4 years ago and simply hose it off. It looks great, needs no other maintenance and even the cushions I purchased for it are holding up well. I do take the cushions in during the winter and purchased covers for the furniture. I spray the cushions with a mildew resistant scotchguard product I’ve only found at Target in the patio department seasonally. I probably don’t need to treat the cushions because they are made of Sunbrella fabric and are guaranteed not to mildew, fade or deteriorate for 5 years. But, we entertain a lot, will sit on them after a spa with wet suits and we get blazing temps over 100 degrees in the later summer, so I go the extra mile so I don’t have to replace them.

But, the new synthetic wicker gives the best wear, won’t fade and has the least maintenance of anything available for outside use, even if you don’t cover it on the off season. And, it is less expensive than either wrought iron or aluminum, has more style than cheezie plastic. I found mine at the Home Depot and Lowes.
