My husband and I bought a Brown Jordon patio furniture set
for our first condo in Anaheim 32 years ago. The table, four chairs, and
umbrella filled the entire patio, and provided a cozy circle for Sunday brunch,
and meeting the neighbors. Later we moved the set to our rambling ranch style
house in Garden Grove, and enjoyed the shade of the umbrella by day, and barbeques and long discussions under the
stars by night. When we moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, we moved
the table and chairs with us.

The set is indestructible, but had started to show some
wear. The cushions were faded, the paint was oxidized, and some of the straps
were disintegrating. Understandable after 32 years. We shopped around for
something new, and then came upon the Patio Chair Care booth at the San Francisco Garden Show.

| Lots of choices for powder coating and strapping. |
Patio Chair Care came to our home, showed us samples, and carried off the set to their factory in Concord. They applied fresh powder
coating in their massive ovens, and replaced the strapping.

A couple of months later, they delivered our
refurbished patio set. We added some snazzy new cushions, and the patio set is
like new. We’re back in business, eating Sunday brunch, working and
researching, and enjoying friends and family around the table. I expect the set
will last another 32 years!
