Most buyers land between $400 and $1,300 for a complete aluminum patio conversation set, depending on configuration — a standalone loveseat sits at the lower end, a 5-piece set seating six to seven adults at the higher end.
The more useful question is what you get at each price point in the aluminum conversation set category. Budget sets in the $200–$350 range typically use powder-coated steel frames with zinc hardware — the coating chips, the steel rusts, and the screw holes corrode within two seasons. Mid-range sets like Zandor's use all-aluminum frames with stainless steel fasteners, which closes both failure points, plus dual-layer Olefin cushions designed to be machine-washed and maintained rather than replaced after one summer.
