What kind of pieces are you interested in and what is your budget?
I have an in ground pool being built.
I need some loungers, a couch, and even a table. I liked Luxxella but I don't know how good they are.
I'd say I'm willing to put in about $15-$20k; but less would be better if I don't have to go very expensive (target would be $10k). I want something that is durable. Maybe a lifetime or decent warranty. Preferably made in the USA. Something that I can maintain easily, and remove the cushions during the winter/fall. I only see a bunch of pillows versus one large pillow. I'm not a big pillow fan but I want it comfortable. I don't know how good wicker is. I've had some of the Target and Department store brands and they're not very durable even though they're steel. I don't like pollen getting stuck into the fabric. However, if I can use my power washer, then I'm happy, too.
I know I have to order soon since the pool will be finished in a month.
Start with the frame(s)- powdercoated aluminum. The best and lowest maintenance outdoor furniture to withstand the elements.
Coverings- vinyl slat, or "all weather" wicker (the synthetic kind). Most is UV protected and durable enough to handle a pressure washer.
Fabrics- Sunbrella! Sunbrella! Sunbrella! All the others can't come close!
Your budget could afford Teak -
But as classic and timeless as it is, it requires a lot of work to keep that pristine look. Some people just let it silver, but at a pool it looks like crap.
Frontgate has quite a few sets of differing materials and styles.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I have a teak bench in my steam shower, and I need to regularly treat with lemon oil. That would be a lot of furniture to do that and I doubt my cleaning ladies do that.

At first I was excited to see this thread, as I have been looking EVERYWHERE for the past few months for some outdoor lounge chairs, and thought maybe I'd find some good answers here. But if your budget for furniture is $10-20K, clearly we are not going to be shopping at the same places.
I've been frustrated that I can't find a nicely built lounger for under $800, and many of them are much more than that. Sheesh, I would have thought a sturdy outdoor lounger would be a couple hundred bucks. I was quite wrong.

It must be so frustrating have cleaning ladies who won't do everything you desire.
Best but pricey brands of resin wicker furniture: Endura and Viro. They are made of European Formula fiber, 15-year life.
Ok. Thanks for that recommendation.
I was looking into 1 or 2 sofas, 4 loungers, a table set, and 4-8 chairs. I downloaded several catalogs on my iPad. My daughter likes contemporary. Our setting is more rustic.
