My dad recalls that his father drilled holes into the seats of those chairs so they'd drain. So, maybe that way always a DIY improvement. About the drain holes….

They don't have that same great bounce, first of all, and are made of a much lighter quality metal. The drain holes I recall as a kid are also missing. I wish when they make "replica" and "vintage" things they'd trouble to duplicate what made the items so wonderful in the first place. With these chairs it was that they were extremely comfortable, very durable, and fun to use.

The chairs are $35 each and the tables are $29 each. Lowes also has them in light blue, light yellow, and light green. Their chairs are more decorative and are $39.98, but the tables are the same at $29.98. Lowes also has the two seat gliders for $128 and child size chairs for $24.98 in the same colors. I cannot wait to go get mine! Menards is selling the chairs and tables in white, bright red, and bright green. The chairs are $35 each and the tables are $29 each.
