Floradude Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Tonala used to be good for these. I have not been back for several years, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Most all of the metal garden furniture made in Jalisco and Michoacán is made of sand-cast aluminum; I haven't seen real cast iron for many long years. Cast aluminum is quite heavy and durable. IMHO the best is made in Tzurumútaro, Michoacán--between Pátzcuaro and Tzintzuntzan. Much of what's made there is sold in Tonalá/Tlaquepaque, and it's less expensive to buy from the maker. I had this set made for me in Tzurumútaro about a year ago (table is 2 meters in diameter, there are six chairs). It's very heavy and cost me about 5000 pesos total, including the custom paint job and delivery/placement of the set. I bought the cushions separately, on Amazon.com, for about $40USD including shipping for the six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artsnob Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Check the local consignment resale shops usually they have them, I saw a red one about six months ago in Riberas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
