After living in my house for almost 7 years, we finally decided to buy some patio furniture. This morning we went to Ikea in Burbank looking for a table and chairs. We ended up buying an oval glass table, 6 chairs, a bench, and 30 wood squares that can be used to create a pseudo-deck on our cement patio.We ignorantly thought that we could fit all that in our Honda Accord, but we were way off. In fact, the only things that fit were the wooden squares. We ended up having to pay $49 to ship everything else to our house - not such a bad price for shipping from Burbank to the Westside of LA.
I setup the wood squares right when I got home. I laid them out in a 6 X 5 rectangle, alternating the direction of the wood with each consecutive square. It looks pretty good, kind of like a wooden rug. I think it is the type of thing that some people will love and some will think is strange. Once the table and chairs arrive, I will place them on top of the wooden rectangle. Finally we'll be able to hang out on our patio.

You should never underestimate the effect of really good patio furniture.
There is definately something to be said for getting the good stuff.
