Outdoor furniture can create a wealth of options, expanding our homes into many different spaces for different occasions, but it can become a real chore to keep maintained. Because this furniture is exposed to the elements, it can wear down quickly and and any fabric can be completely destroyed by rain or other natural elements.

Many turn to mass-produced plastic furniture to solve this problem, but aside from being environmentally unfriendly, these items are also generally unattractive and uncomfortable. So what is the simplest furniture to keep out in nature? The most natural of course!

Stronger and less refined woods and other materials that occur naturally outdoors are already equipped to survive the elements. Some people have even begun using cut tree logs as coffee and side tables, which both look attractive and also last many years depending on the tree. Using simpler designs built with the most natural materials possible will guarantee the easiest outdoor furniture to maintain.
