I know people who do. On of my SiL's loves to shop for bargains. She
chided me and my brother when we bought nice patio furniture from a
patio store. She had bought a similar set at a grocery store for about
1/3 the price. The tops are a similar material. The frames on ours are
much nicer and they chairs had a synthetic mesh that lasted 10 seasons
before one ripped and I had them all repaired. The umbrella was still
in good operating condition after 10 years but a mouse chewed the fabric
when it was in storage last year. She had had to replace her cheap
grocery store umbrella and the chairs every two years. Her
replacement costs have ended up costing here a lot more than I paid for
mine.
