depends of course on your taste and budget. We inherited a love seat set, obviously really expensive, good quality, hole in the middle for sun brolly, one slat broken, Hubby mended this year and stained black, looks great, we also have a wooden heavy steam chair bought on e bay, which stays out, folding 70s style chairs,loungers, which start as chairs, lighter wooden chairs matching tables which go away for winter, treated ourselves to a wooden arbour this year, seatin anf storage, each goes in a different area, soeme moved around some in sun some in shade
We have a mish mash. On the terrace we have a glass topped, round, metal framed table with matching chairs and a hole for a parasol. Great for lunches when there are just 3 or 4 of us. It gets taken into shelter for winter and the cushions have to come indoors. Out in the garden we have a teak table which can seat 10 or 12 when fully open and I bought heavy cast iron framed whairs with teak seats and back slats because I found the plastic chairs all over the garden after even medium winds. We've had to replace the wooden seats after 18 years of Belgian weather and, again, cushions have to come in for winter. We also have a set of canvas and wood director's chairs, some fold flat, light aluminium chairs with mesh seats that we use as needed indoors and outdoors and assorted tables here and there for coffee or drinks in the garden, displays, veg drying.... These are a mix of cast iron frames with glass tops, cast iron with a wooden top, oak and so on that I've found in flea markets.
Suit the style and material to your garden and your taste.

We have heavy wooden chairs and table but they have to come in for winter because anything that isn't fixed to the ground blows away. Weather is key to any decision!
