How about consulting The Villages residents and ordering the same chairs they had been using and that were safe, comfortable and durable with rigorous daily use?!?!?
The purchasers from TV have enormous clout and they can buy great deals in bulk and they do. They probably buy from the people Disney does. I would rather have them consult Disney who has tremendous knowlege about how things wear with droves of people using them, then us. One of the things I love about the things in TV is the high quality and the perfect style. They know what they are doing.

To me, it is another example of their business acumen. They painted the Odell Center each Spring of the three years we have lived next to it. All of it. The covers for the shuffleboard, the storage house for the pickleball paddles, the shelterhouse. The rec center itself. They regularly trim and deweed the planting areas. They take really good care of stuff. They replace things when they get shabby. THAT is what I have tried to do in the spaces I have occupied and the number one reason I chose The Villages to live. It is clean and VERY well maintained.

I know that I have heard that Spanish Springs was designed by Disney Designers. They may know the people who run Disney. The end result is spectacular.

Better than consulting one of our neighbors who has the whole danged family of trolls in her back yard. AND the bending over lady. She doesn't do computers or I wouldn't say this. DON'T tell her I said this. It was mean.
