The intense Arizona sun had bleached and dried the wood so much so that it was deteriorating and causing splinters. My off-white cushions we practically brown from the desert dust and breaking apart as well. I learned my lesson: invest in quality furniture and cushions that will last.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109625 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1e3b6f133c5174f9c0bba7547d9e79e5.jpg\" alt=\"See how Alex Evjen of AveStyles used outdoor patio furniture to transform her backyard into a desert oasis for The Home Depot Patio Style Challenge.\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I couldn\u2019t wait to get my hands on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/collection\/patio-furniture\/highland-point-collection\">Highland Point 5-piece Conversation Set<\/a> with Charleston cushions from The Home Depot. I knew it would be quality. The metal will surely last, and the fabric is weather resistant and durable enough to endure the Arizona heat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109624 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/d423fa0f293ebae98496e1d535a32b8e.jpg\" alt=\"See how Alex Evjen of AveStyles used outdoor patio furniture to transform her backyard into a desert oasis for The Home Depot Patio Style Challenge.\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It did not disappoint. The comfort and room of these chairs is amazing. I love to snuggle and rock with my kids. And their favorite part is the fire pit. Before, we had a different fire pit that was low to the ground, which was dangerous for the kids to be around. It also had an exposed propane tank.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109618 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/008b7589369eb339247eed31003b8dae.jpg\" alt=\"See how Alex Evjen of AveStyles used outdoor patio furniture to transform her backyard into a desert oasis for The Home Depot Patio Style Challenge.\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-109623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/d536850bf3683d1a12165002784c2d77.jpg\" alt=\"See how Alex Evjen of AveStyles used outdoor patio furniture to transform her backyard into a desert oasis for The Home Depot Patio Style Challenge.\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/collection\/patio-furniture\/highland-point-collection?NCNI-5&amp;searchRedirect=highland+point+collection&amp;semanticToken=20040+++%3E++++st%3A%7Bhighland+point+collection%7D%3Ast++cn%3A%7Bnull%7D++highland+point+collection+%7Bredirect%7D\">fire pit<\/a>, on the other hand, tucks the gas tank neatly underneath the table and also provides plenty of room to set your drinks and plates down.
