6 years of searching and I still haven't found any. Because of our climate and dogs I'm looking for cheap versus quality (better to replace every few years). I've tried the usual suspects: Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Amazon (won't ship), Bamboo and Teak, Paradise Plants, Lowes, Costco, hotel resales, etc. Some of them have a minimal selection some of the year but are either too small (single seats, lounge chairs, or just outdoor dining stuff) or too expensive (not spending $1200 on a single piece I plan to rehome in a few years). I've checked out a lot of furniture stores too but they only sell "indoor" stuff.

Anywhere else to look?

Have you tried Costco on-line? Maybe they have a wider selection than in the store.

How about Craigslist or yard sales?

Craig's List? We've gotten whole sets of teak furniture for less than $500.

The big box stores follow mainland seasons, so you won't find any outdoor furniture right now. Look in the spring, or wait until July for close-out sales.
Yeah, Craiglsist is probably your best bet right now. January is the peak month for real estate sales, so there should be moving sales coming up soon.

I bought a metal table and chairs 3-4 years ago. They've always been kept under a roof, but have rusted horribly.
Resin chairs get severe UV damage and fall apart within a couple of years if left in the sun. But we have some we've kept in the garage that have lasted 12 years.
A friend gave me a set of plastic wicker furniture; the powder-coated metal frames were in great shape, and lasted another 5 years outdoors (and live on elsewhere), but the plastic wicker fell apart.

Bamboo and Teak's stock varies a lot, they may have something in the next shipment. Talk to the manager, he's very friendly.

Costo online has some but probably out of your price range. Delivery is an extra $200 as well. I got a set but it took 3 months if I remember correctly. It is delivered by a local moving company that puts the delivery on their schedule (2-3 extra weeks). It was good quality though. I dont think I'll get rid of them within a year.

World Market usually has decent stuff and I think they ship to HI - not 100% sure on that though.

They do ship some stuff to Hawaii.... not furniture however.

"No shipping options available for this item. Please change your address and try again."

When Pier One first opened, they would ship to Hawaii, but the furniture was a lot more expensive than the mainland (of course). They may still ship here, I haven't checked lately.

Mostly indoor stuff, but we like Iolani in Hilo: https://iolani-furniture.myshopify.com/
They refurbish used furniture, so their inventory varies.

another thing about shipping to Hawaii...
Sometimes they won't ship to Hawaii, sometimes they won't ship to a POBox. Try a physical address before you give up!
This just happened on Amazon. I give them my physical address on line 1, box # on line 2.
