By: Kathy Moran | - Not long ago, outdoor furniture was largely comprised of those flimsy, folding aluminum chairs, with interwoven plastic strips for the backs and seats, that always left little red square marks across the backs of your thighs. Some of the fancier chairs had golden plastic threads sewn through them, which mainly served to enhance the red squares with scratch marks, as they caused an irritating, incessant itch, like the kind you get from the tag in your tee shirt. Most people don't know it, but t ...
