Erica - Hello. I would recommend you look at Polywood Furniture -
https://www.polywood.com/ It is made of recycled plastic, it is virtually indestructible and will last for years. It requires very little cleaning or maintenance. It is not too heavy to move, but not so light that it would "travel" to places it should not be. We just purchased a large amount of Polywood for the return-to-campus this September. I didn't buy direct from Polywood, I went through one of our approved state vendors. I am betting there is a Cal State vendor that could source Polywood and get you a state discount. Good luck with your research.

Subject: Outdoor Furniture Recommendations
Hello!
We are currently looking to upgrade our outdoor patio furniture that is used for special events. We are looking for tables and chairs that are sturdy enough to stay out for 8 months out of the year without being bolted down, and potentially semi collapsible for winter storage. Does anyone have any recommendations of brands that they have really like, are durable and lasted a long time? TIA!
