June 5, 2019. Canyon Lake, Texas. Deck Furniture.

we bought the deck furniture over 20 years ago, as soon as the old house had been redone. Ken and I went shopping because Suzanne was busy with Sarah and Abigail had just arrived. When we asked Suzanne what we should buy, she responded that the only thing she wanted was to buy heavy furniture as Sarah always organized the chairs. So we bought heavy furniture. The furniture has stood up well. We bought 13 chairs and one large and one small tables. Every so often the seat would slip out but Ken ordered the cord and all was well. Except a few years ago Ken was unable to put the cord through the seat. He found a place in Austin who repaired deck furniture. Ace Outdoor Resoration is the name. Trace came and picked up the chairs and returned them all fixed. We were happy. Ten years ago Ken and I were in an outdoor store and spotted two expensive chairs very much on sale, so we bought them along with one footstool to match. We were at the store in the late Fall to buy chairs for the ranch but those two chairs were too good to pass up. After a few days at the lake we decided to order a second footstool and discovered it was very expensive. We bought it anyway. Those two chairs and footstools are the most comfortable chairs on the deck but when I arrived this visit I discovered that the front on both chairs had broken away. You could sit on it but not for long. I called Trace at Ace. He came this afternoon to pick up two chairs where the fabric had ripped plus the two expensive chairs. On the phone he told me he thought the chairs were Brown Jordon which he said was the most expensive chairs on the market. Who knew? When he looked at the chairs he concurred with his guess. Now he must contact the company and buy the slings from them which sometimes takes 4 weeks. Then he must install the fabric which is not an easy task. And not an inexpensive fix. But he assured me today that if we wanted to purchase new chairs, we could expect to pay $1,500. each. I am pleased to have them repaired thanks to Trace at Ace Outdoor Restoration.
