Ocean front deck furniture

| I am building an oceanfront house (with a southwest exposure) on the Oregon coast. There will be a deck overlocking the ocean, and I want to use deck furniture that will last for awhile (I know it is not realistic to expect salt and sea to be kind to any outdoor futniture).
I have seen some tables and chairs on the Web that are very reasonable in price (too reasonable?), but no customer comments from people who live on the ocean. I would like feedback from any of you who live on or near the ocean about the kind of deck furniture you use, and how it lasts.
The furniture I am reading about is: Terazza (anodized aluminum, with balau wood armrests) and Laurel Creek (solid garapera wood). |

| We have a beach house and would only consider leaving wood furniture outdoors. The colorful cushions are brought indoors when not in use. Wind is a problem with anything else. We had an Aluminum Table that took off like a flying saucer. Most of the beach houses have glass fronts to the ocean and you certainly don't want anything flying into the glass. |

| I just got an email from Land's End this morning about their teak lawn furniture - who knew they sold furniture, too? You might check their website for how it will wear. |

| Love the Teak. We have Adirondack style, but painted not Teak. |
