What are the cost differences between WPC, solid wood, and metal for outdoor seating?
When choosing outdoor seating, material cost is a key factor. WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) is a mid-range option, balancing affordability and durability, typically costing between $200-$600 per piece. Solid wood, like teak or cedar, is more expensive ($400-$1,200+) due to its natural beauty and longevity but requires maintenance. Metal furniture (aluminum, steel) varies widely: basic aluminum starts around $150, while high-end wrought iron can exceed $1,000. WPC offers low maintenance, solid wood provides timeless appeal, and metal excels in durability. Your choice depends on budget, climate, and desired aesthetics.
