We have four Tropitone rocking recliners and an OW Lee fire table we bought about three years ago, with a like number of reclining fold-ups in storage to handle overflow. With the glass wind guard, beaten copper close-out for the fire table and covers for all of it, I know what we paid PRE-covid. If it's spiked like everything else it's likely retarded expensive now.

But...our previous set lasted over 18 years, ten of that outside in Florida. You can go cheap over and over again, or pay the ticket for good stuff that's going to last. I've always preferred the latter option.

Buying used at an antique store is probably cheapest way to get a quality piece of furniture. I picked up a really nice set from the 60s about 25 years ago at an antique shop.

I have Tropitone as well and got it on the cheap when they were closing the store down and it will probably out last me.  

  I will say one thing on high end patio furniture, it will last an incredibly long long time, but you still have to take care of it pending where you live.
