Why didn't somebody invent outdoor bean bag furniture long ago? From puffy chaises made of water-resistant polyester with fetching ties at the corners, to flip-down stainless steel cafe tables, CB2, Crate and Barrel's (relatively) inexpensive offspring has a colorful, casual new collection of furniture for decks, patios and terraces......
My favorites are the woven cube nest chairs and ottomans of all-weather resin wicker...The cushions are deep and comfy and weatherproof. Even though the photo shows the chairs in a desert setting, they are powdercoated in rustproof aluminum and claimed to be "durable as all getout". Why does black outdoor furniture look so good?
Then there are big, fabric "Gro Planters" made of waterproof nylon that cost only $19.95 for a 12" square, and $29.95 for a 16" square big enough to hold a tree....the handles are big enough so you can drag them around and they fold flat for storage...I have no idea why CB2 is selling bikes, but what I really want for spring s this very cool yellow-wheeled bike to ride to my new yoga studio in Langley....
I love these new red bean bags! I only wish that I could 'do' red in my garden! I'm also in total agreement about black furniture in the garden, it looks so grounded. Do you think these chairs are comfy? I wish there was a CB2 showroom in Portland so that I could try these out as I might be inclined to buy them for myself!
Val, you NEED that yellow wheeled bike, absolutely!!!

Hi Lauren,
I'd probably want to sit in those big black chairs before buying them too - comfort no doubt depends on the depth of the cushions you use on them...I think I really do need that yellow wheeled bike too - with a basket on the front and maybe a little side car for my dog???

My husband attached a milk crate to the back rack of my bike. Though I only transport passive goods, would your dog stay in it, do you think? Does make the bike a trifle top heavy, though, so a bit wobbly. How much does your dog weigh? Carrying things in the front is actually more stable, in my experience.

I'd definitely hang around outside more frequently if my garden had these. Oh how I'd love to chill in my garden with a book on my lap desk.
