Good sets run in the 1000s. Just a table umbrella and like 4 chairs. You can get a whole bedroom set for that. I notice home depot sells sets from Hampton Bay that run in the 3 to 400s. I know Hampton Bay makes really crappy fans I don't expect them to make good patio furniture. What should I look for in a patio set.

I would say it depends on how much YOU want to spend. You need to ask yourself " how long do I want to look at this or keep this furniture"? If your a person who likes change in their life, often...I would not spend much. The ones at Home Depot will do fine. If this furniture is something you want to keep for a long time then the more money you spend will buy you a better longer lasting set of furniture. The cost will be in the metal it's constructed of for durability and in the fabrics for weather proofing and durability. Once you start shopping around and talk to sales people you will start to get a good understanding of the product you want to buy. I would shop a range from the self help (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.) to the better garden shops and even some furniture stores carry garden furniture. Something else you may consider, when you are shopping around and there are other people looking at these sets also, talk to them and ask them for their opinion and if they have tried other brands. To do this is not uncommon. You might also find a web site where you could look for comparability like a buyers guide.

1st-the perception that it is good furniture
2nd-life span, it's components will not break down in sun
3rd-popularity, it appears as more and more folks have filled up their indoors with stuff, they are now filling up the outside the same way, and going for the perceived premium product.
Look for good strong legs and good cross-bracing of legs to hold up to use. Fabrics that will take the rain and sunlight.

because the cheap furniture tends to look cheap, or can't weather the storms. however, some patio furniture is expensive b/c it's sold by upscale stores and they have an image to maintain and project.

Remember the ole adage, you get what you pay for......Look at lowes and at the end of the season alot of their hi price stuff goes on sale for 50-60% off, or buy the displays for less. Good luck to you.

with all things, you get what you pay for. look at yard sales and stuff like that. HomeDepot, Kmart, WalMart all equal quality, which is to say, not much.
