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.

Sears has some in the range that you're searching. Try them.

What brand and where is it from?

On the other hand, maybe there is a service to maintain teak.

I looked at Sears, both the physical store and online. Here's the kind of chaise I want, but at almost $700 it's not the price I want to pay (and this doesn't even include the cushion).
Sears.com

I think I'm going to make my own loungers. That way I know they will be good quality. Something like this:

ditto Kayanne, I was very interested in this thread topic but I am also not looking at what the OP is looking for. We are low-key, country/cottage casual here... no outdoor couches here, and not spending $10k+. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I'm waiting to buy until Labor Day or afterwards so I can take advantage of clearance prices. Anyway, the tip for aluminum construction is helpful, thanks K'ledgeBldr and Caspian.
