Wishlist Wednesday: Retro Glider and Chairs

It feels strange to have patio furniture on my wishlist because if you know me, you know that I'm an inside person.  Most weekends you will find me inside working in the house and B outside working in the yard.  However, our patio is covered, so perhaps when the weather gets cooler I might just be persuaded to sit out on the deck armed with bottles of bug spray.  I could also be easily persuaded if we had this awesome retro glider and chairs.

They are from Lowes of all places and I first spotted them on designsponge.
